Wow I only have about 5 minutes to rattle something off, so this will be pretty brief… we spent a few days in Melbourne.  It was a nice city, but there was nothing spectacular about it.  No major attractions either, so I cannot say that there was awesome things we did there.  They do have the Queen Victoria Market, which is over 100 years old, and that is very neat.  It is full of people selling souvenirs, produce, and meats.  And there is swarms of people.  The city also has a very well run tram system for public transport.

We are now in Sydney (as of yesterday), and will start exploring in the coming days.  Today we saw the Lord of the Rings exhibition that is wrapping up at the local museum, and it has some cool articles about how some of the movie was made, and how they carved up the New Zealand landscape to fit the movie scenes (and then restored it back after).  Believe it or not I actually haven’t seen the famous Opera House yet!  Other than in the postcards that are all over the place.

Got to run.
