Due to personal errands we didn't get to spend as much time wandering around Melbourne as we might have liked. Having said that, however, it was HOT. The Australian Open tennis tournament was underway in the city and they measured the temp at Centre Court at 66C. Seems a little too high, but you get the idea. That was the report from our Tasmanian Cruise Director. Fortunately it seemed to be a dry heat in the city, not too humid but the breeze felt like someone had just opened the oven door.

Flinders Railway Station, a local landmark
The front door of the train station -- the famous place to meet someone "under the clocks"
Right across from the clocks is Yound & Jackson's. We ate here in 2005. The food is still very good.
The Block Arcade in downtown Melbourne.
Some portions were air-conditioned.
Melbourne has an extensive tram system
An interesting way to disguise digging up the pavement a little further down.
The Yarra River cuts through the middle of town.
