Christmas Dinner...

My Dad at the head of the table as is proper...
Who knew that Nar Nar Goon is "the mural town?"

We headed there for the traditional Boxing Day BBQ

Mate

What seagulls in movies are not saying... This is my brother's bird, "Mate." In animated movies, seagulls are saying "mine, mine, mine..." Because that is what seagulls say. This beautiful bird..."mate"... says "hello mate." Which is kind of dumb, because in essence, he is saying hello to himself.

Used to be Spencer St. Station

Back in the day, this was unsightly railway yards. Now it is the view from our suite at the Grand Hotel at night - full moon. Melbourne is a cool city. Always was, but now has all the things that make a western city attractive. Loved spending time there - rediscovering what I once knew so well. Melbourne was an understated place once. Locals trash talk the floating roof over the railway station, but it was very beautiful to me. Lots of large sculptures in the city. Very cool.
