title A Couple of Days in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - 5th October 2004 intro The tour of the Far East (well, Bangkok and bits of Australia at least) continues with a day-and-a-half in Melbourne. That's enough time for a walk around the city, a trip up to the top of Rialto Towers, a visit to Melbourne Gaol - once home of Ned Kelly - and an evening around Chinatown, with a few beers at a bar listening to the band Play Just Like Steve. img_0254 The collonade outside the Queen Victoria Market img_0257 Elizabeth Street, probably img_0258 Elizabeth Street img_0260 A funky 30s-style building on the Mall img_0262 A busker fires up his guitar img_0263 A living statue on a box img_0266 Funky rainbow horses img_0267 A Melbourne street img_0269 A City Circle tram outside Parliament Station img_0272 The main steps of the Parliament Building img_0274 The old Treasury museum img_0283 Inside the conservatory in the botanical gardens img_0284 The Conservatory img_0288 Sinclair's Cottage img_0291 Flinder's Street Station img_0296 There's some police action on Swanston Street img_0297 An Aboriginal Didjeridoo player img_0300 Train timetable at Flinder's Street img_0301 Flawless Flowers in Flinder's Street station img_0302 The departure board img_0303 A Melbourne church img_0304 People on the street img_0308 The view from the top of the Rialto Towers img_0312 Melbourne from the Rialto Towers img_0318 A view straight down img_0320 Some passing tourists takre a photo of Nosher img_0321 Rialto Tower img_0324 Chinatown by night img_0328 Cars stream past img_0330 The 72 bus to Camberwell img_0333 Nosher ends up in a bar with some live music img_0336 A band in action img_0340 The band in a small marquee annex img_0342 The Melbourne pad img_0343 Nosher's kitchen for a couple of days img_0344 The Melbourne apartment img_0345 A fish market img_0347 Fish in Queen Victoria Market img_0348 A meat stall img_0352 Fruit and veg img_0356 Inside the covered market img_0359 Massive spring onions img_0360 The crafts and clothing section img_0363 Platform shoes outside the market img_0365 The Stork Hotel on Elizabeth Street img_0366 The public baths on Victoria Street img_0368 Inside old Melbourne Gaol img_0370 Some dude tries on Ned Kelly's helmet img_0373 The remaining cell block img_0374 Melbourne Gaol img_0375 Looking down Flinder's Street
