We have gotten a slight taste of this big city today. We've toured around a bit. For the older generation reading this, remember the movie "On the Beach" with Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck? There is a huge scene in this film that took place at Flinders Street Station where the two stars had a gloriously prolonged goodbye under the famous clocks, each of which indicates the next scheduled departure on different suburban lines. Anyways, Phillip and I walked around in the station and took a picture (just incase you don't know what the heck I'm talking about!!) We also took a free tram on the City Loop and saw a bunch of old government and parliament buildings, including the Melbourne State Library. Later on we are going to go to the Immigration Museum, the Old Melbourne Gaol (jail), and the famous Arts Center. Nothing way too exciting yet...but I'm sure we'll have more later!!
