Melbourne - First Visit

Today I went to Melbourne. It was wicked. Whoever it was that told me that Melbourne is boring and like Europe is wrong and clearly hasn't seen much of Europe. If anything it was like New York.


Anyway I got the bus to Ballarat and then the train to Melbourne, the train was comfy and on time and quick. Instead of train and bus tickets you get a card which you put money on and then swipe when you get on and off. It's a good system.

Here are some pictures from the train:


Beehive house
Trees

Birds

Atze 

China

London Eye





So here is Melbourne!!! 


Yarra River 

Batman park 


Pigeonhole principle

Eureka Tower


Then I saw this bird, does anyone know what it is? It came up to me and wanted to be friends..





Then ran away..

This is Federation Square, it has art in it and was really good
