Royal Victoria Botanic gardens
The sunniest and warmest day yet with a mid afternoon temperature of 28C. Short walks and tram rides took us to the Shrine of Remembrance commemorating the Australians who died in the wars. From there it was a short stride to the gardens. The gardens cover a large area and it wasn’t possible to see everything but we saw the highlights and enjoyed the variety of trees and plants and the scents of the garden. The wild birds seemed to be very used to people and would walk up to us. We walked round the central lake where we stopped for lunch. We got some more views of the Melbourne skyline from the garden as well as seeing the state parliament building. Late afternoon was too hot to do a lot of walking. Healthy burgers for tea and the4 back to the hotel to pack for tomorrows flight.
