Last Day in Melbourne

We had another 12K step day today. We walked to the State Library of Victoria, which was more interesting than it sounds. It was established in 1854 & is the oldest public library in Australia. The balconies overlooking the main reading room house many paintings, & historical documents including diaries dating back to the time of the library’s construction, and Ned Kelly’s armour, and facial bust, cast after he was hanged for killing a lawman in 1880. We walked to the Melbourne Museum which is very much a Science museum. We saw lots of school classes at both places today. We both agreed it was nice not to be supervising kids. Bagpipes, & drums celebrate our short stay in Melbourne! 😉Weiterlesen
