Grandies on the loose

 After a bit of a tidy-up, and some fond farewells Duncan and I took an uber to the Central Bus Station. As our plane didn't leave until much later in the day so we decided to store our suitcases in the luggage storage area, and head out on the town. We had a few "techno" issues with the locker, caused by me letting the door bang shut before the suitcase was in there, but nothing that reading the instructions couldn't solve.

We walked down to the dockside area, and down by the Yarra River. (I just have to trust Duncan when it comes to directions.)

Skyscrapers, right down to the water's edge.
Really, Melbourne, it looks very pretty, but is it safe??

Cow up a tree is based on real life after flooding. It is made of Bronze, painted. It has been likened to the paper mache
Cows which were used to disguise airfields during the second world war. (It didn't work).

It was getting very cold now, due to a very strong wind, so we decided to get the circular tram which should leave every 15 minutes for a tour of the city. After 25 minutes it never came, so we hopped on any old train and headed for Central station. had a nice lunch at a cafe nearby, and took the airport bus with plenty of time to spare.

Watched them building these skyscrapers while we waited.
I wished I had a wooly hat.

Quick flight to Hobart, and we grab a sky bus to our hotel, where we have a lovely room and dinner at the restaurant.
