Melbourne, Tuesday night




The first two pictures show the river at night. My hotel is the tall building in the far left corner.




These two pictures show the view from my hotel room which is next to an old Victorian train station and the river just beyond it. The trains all go below grade at this point so you don't hear them. It's a fantastic location, next to the river bike path, botanical gardens, Fed Square and an easy walk from everything else. 






This clip shows a tiny part of an Australian Rules Football match I saw a little bit of up at Melbourne University. It moves much more quickly than American football. Watch the very cool lateral kick the guy makes on the fly as a pass at the very end of the video. A really nice guy explained the rules as we watched. 6 points if the ball goes between the middle goals; only 1 point if it goes between the outer ones.
