It's Sunday, and, as you know from reading our blogposts from wherever, Tim and I try and find our respective churches. Mine is just up the street from THE garden in Melbourne and we agree to meet Sally and Richard there after church. Another glorious day, and it seems like half the population is out and about here at the Botanical Gardens. If you look just over Tim's shoulder, you will see a boatman and, yes, he takes people on gondola rides across this wee lake.
We opt for a walkabout - glorious, fabulous gardens!
. . . with a few vintage buildings thrown in for good measure.
Then we're off to see another Melbourne sight - an art complex in a repurposed convent.
This was one of many installations . . . a number of artists have studios in this rambling space and there are numerous school activities, including a working mini-farm. They also have concerts and all sorts of neat activities for folks of all ages.
What a fitting end for our incredible stay in this most livable city. Melbourne certainly gets our vote for one of the world's most livable cities. Thank you, Sally and Richard, for showing us the 'insider's Melbourne' - we look forward to your visit with us in the States!
