Melbourne: Melbourne Museum

Getting off tram 109 at the Town Hall station, we walked to the Visitor Center.

First order of business was getting a couple of MyKi cards for the ride back to the port. After verifying our plan to stay within the free-zone until we were ready to return to the ship, the woman at the VC sold us our cards, topped them off with the appropriate fare amount, and cautioned us not to tap on until we left the free-zone.

Next, with a map in hand, we hopped on another free-zone train and headed to the Melbourne Museum … walking through the Carlton Gardenss and passing by the Royal Exhibition Building. The museum is very extensive with varied exhibits. There was no way we could cover the entire museum, so we decided to focus on the exhibits telling the stories of the Aboriginal people.

A wonderful museum!Read more
