Final day in Melbourne

We decided to freestyle today since we’re so comfortable in Melbourne. We had only one planned activity today - to go to the Koorie Heritage Trust, an Aboriginal owned and managed gallery/meeting place established in 1985. We hopped on the tram from the port and got there easily. It was well worth a visit.

A fellow passenger told us there was a pride festival on in the city and we decided we’d walk to that area. Our route to the festivities took us through a number of parks that were spectacular and beautifully landscaped. It was a fabulous, unplanned addition to our day. The pride event itself was a lot of fun. Once we’d roamed around the event, we were hot and tired and the temperature had climbed into the 30s. We decided to find the tram again and head back to the ship. As luck would have it, our path back to the tram took us to where the Chinese New Year celebrations were taking place, including the lion dance. Bonus! What a great day.

We left Melbourne early evening and will wake up in Burnie, Tasmania.Meer informatie
