Melbourne

Wild wallabies on the way to Philip Island


Shrine of Rememberance


Today we met with our tour group, who we will be with throughout Australia and New Zealand.  We were definitely the youngest by about 40 years!!!  Oh well, we had tons of fun!!  First, we stopped by Fitzroy Gardens and then the Shrine of Rememberance.  We also spent some time at Queen Victoria's Market, a huge flea market with lots of Melbourne goodies.  This evening we went over to Philip Island, off the coast of Melbourne to see the Penguin Parade.  We were not allowed to take pictures during the parade, but it was an awesome sight to see.  Each night the Little Penguins come in from the ocean and into their homes on the beach.  :)
