Day 7. Last day in Melbourne



Found the city very impressive. Clean, vibrant full of interest and relatively affordable. Amazed by the ethnic diversities and all the 1st generations have aussie accents like nowhere else. Great food at reasonable prices; great galleries and an awesome botanical garden......

Got the tourist bus around town and realised we had seen most of the main areas of the city. Dropped us off at the botanical gardens. Had a wonderful time walking around. Can't believe what grows next to each other here - not seen the combinations anywhere else in the world and the gardens are the best I have seen anywhere. Glorious weather and humerous bus drivers. Everyone so friendly.

Got the bus back to the square and walked around the Ian Potter centre where there is an excellent collection of modern austalian (including aboriginal) art. Then walked back thruogh town and picked up some final purchases.
