This was the reason for my excursion to Melbourne - to visit Flo' and Trevor in Fawkner, Melbourne.

It was a flying visit and I wish I'd had more time in Melbourne, but it was well worth the trip.

Me and Flo' in their back garden in Fawkner, on a fantastic day.

Billy is Trevor's (or Alison's?) 31 year old Cockatoo!

She's got about another 40 or 50 years left !

A typical street scene in Melbourne.

It's a bit less frantic than Sydney. Pity I didn't have time to see more.

There are plenty of older buildings in Melbourne. Not a common site in Australia.

Another old building. This one is the Post Office.

I had to take a picture of this for Petra.

Hope you can make it out.
