Funky old building in Melbourne but I can't tell you what it was.
So had a good full day wondering around Melbourne and got a much better feel for it. It was a bit chilly with the wind but nothing compared to winter in Canada. It is the International Comedy Festival here but I did not get a chance to partake as I needed to be packed and in bed early for the plane on April 1 to go to the Sunshine Coast. I can’t believe it thought that I missed an opportunity to see Tim Minchin ~ my favourite new comedian. He is an awesomely funny, talented Aussie pianist, lyricist, singer, performer. Check him out at www.timminchin.com. I think his star is only starting to rise. I am totally enamoured by him.
Man - who built these buildings!!! Getting artsy fartsy with reflections.
Anyway, I digress. Melbourne is quite lovely on the Yarra River and has lots of parkland. It blends the old and the new. The transportation system is excellent. I think I like Sydney better so far but then again I had an excellent host there who helped me discover the city. I still have to see the Rocks before I leave.
Yes that is a teenage boy standing under that branch - one big honkin' tree in Fitzroy Park in Melbourne
So I am off to my next couch surf. A bunch of us are going camping for the weekend. Should be fun. Stay tuned.
Yarra River and Morell Bridge (built 1899) in the middle of Melbourne.
I think you must like Tim Minchin because he is a redhead, and yes he is very funny and talented. Glad you are meeting lots of people and enjoying your stay in Australia. Waiting to hear about your camping experience!!!
well of course – but also because he is a great lyricist, and has a lovely dark sense of humour which I share.
