Day 5. Underwater

The de rigeur Hoggmascall rise mid morning followed by a nice walk through town to the circular tram. Jumped on it as far as the Melbourne Aquarium and spent the afternoon in there with the Penguins and the fishes. Very good large marine feeding show with sharks and the biggest rays I have seen in my life.

Jumped back on the tram to the DFO centre next to the Southern Cross Station. Our favourite bargain hunting area. Got a rather gorgeous French Connection cotton thin jumper for myself believe it or not. It was the only thing I tried on that looked good and was an absolute bargain.

Walked down to the docklands afterwards and it was now dusk. Very impressive new buildings going up all around. Pushed through the crowd at the Etihad Stadium waiting to watch the Melbourne footie match (they lost 2-0) and back on the circular which took us to the newest part of the docklands. It will be impressive once fininshed but it is hard to imagine any more development in this already heavily developed area.
