March 06: Queen Mary 2

The QM2 is the biggest ship ever to dock in Circular Quay.  Its difficult to see in the photos but it's enormous.  It even made Stanley seem small!

March 4: Busy day

Busy day today.  Soon after breakfast we headed over to Darlinghurst to visit the Dinosaur Designs factory shop, then to Bourke Street Bakery for coffee & Cake, before driving over the Watson's bay for a long walk around the coast, followed by fish & chips and 40 winks on the grass (well for Daisy & Granddad anyway).  The weather today was great - we're finally starting to see some improvement.  Fingers crossed that the winter will be better than he summer!

February 27: Melbourne Architecture

Architecturally melbourne is a lot more interesting than Sydney.......but that doesn't necessarily mean that its better!  The above are probably a good example of 'just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should'!  Daisy doesn't think that Iggy Peck would approve...

February 26: Bells Beach

After another great breakfast in Melbourne we drove along the Great Ocean Road between Torquay and Apollo Bay (via Anglesey).  The scenery was pretty cool but the weather was less than perfect so the photo opportunities were a bit limited.  On the way back we called into Bells Beach to the see the famous surf....which had obviously heard we were coming and decided to go somewhere else!  There were a few brave souls out on their boards but the water was pretty flat - definitely not like it is in the brochures!
Still glad we visited!

February 23: Melbourne

Nick travelled down to Melbourne for a conference today.  Gem, Daisy, Granny & Granddad are travelling down in a few days.  This is the view of the Melbourne Skyline from the war memorial.
