Spring Holidays Photos - Dubbo to Melbourne

Mom and Dad at the National Museum in Canberra
 

Phar Lap's Heart - one of the popular exhibits at the National Museum.
Phar Lap was one of the greatest racing horses of all time and Aussies love their horse racing!

At the War Memorial in Canberra

Simpson's Donkey - he and his donkey are a story of heroic measures, taking wounded soldiers to safety in the war.

Mom and Dad in front of the War Memorial, looking down the boulevard to the Parliament Buildings.



The drive from Canberra to Merimbula reminded me of home.


Merimbula Beach

Our Whale Watching tour

Mom and Dad at the Koala Conservation Centre

Dad and I were fascinated with the trees shedding their bark.

I love the Aussie signs that give instructions as to how you should behave.

We were freezing! At the Nobbies, at the far end of Phillip Island... felt like we were in the Arctic.

Again with the Aussie signs - rug up, it's cold out!



Can you see the joey in the mommy's pouch? So cute!

Don't forget to check for the Little Penguins.
In front of Luna Park, St. Kilda, Melbourne

Enjoying a delicious, cheap lunch at Sushi Monger.  This is a tiny shop in one of the many laneways in Melbourne.  The line up is out the door and down the lane every lunch hour.  So cheap and oishii!!!!

Some of the Street Art in Melbourne.  They don't call it graffitti :)

Grand Final weekend in Melbourne - they are mad about their sport!
