Melbourne

Me with Melbourne's Christmas tree.


I liked the trams. They reminded me of the streetcars in New Orleans. Especially the green ones.

Phillip Island

Seals were supposed to be here. We didn't see any.
That is a little penguin in there!


View from the boardwalk.


Me at the koala sanctuary.

Brisbane

Koala House
The fountain at the Cultural Centre. The Cultural Centre is where all the museums are. I saw a great exhibit on Aborigines.

The Commissariat Store, which was convict-built. Apparently, Brisbane was the prison you got sent to if you were too bad for Sydney. I had a guided tour, and I was the only person on my tour. The guide said I ask very precise questions.


I just liked these old buildings.
