A Couple of Days in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - 5th October 2004

The tour of the Far East (well, Bangkok and bits of Australia at least) continues with a day-and-a-half in Melbourne. That's enough time for a walk around the city, a trip up to the top of Rialto Towers, a visit to Melbourne Gaol - once home of Ned Kelly - and an evening around Chinatown, with a few beers at a bar listening to the band Play Just Like Steve.
