Tuesday 17th October - St Kilda Pt II

Back in Melbourne - time for a blog update and some retrospective thoughts as Ma and I dived into the Internet cafe this morning.

Then we caught a tram to St Kilda. Aah the Camden by-the-Sea of Melbourne!

See the masts!?!
Great cloud formations
And in true suburb style - a shopping trolley nicely displayed to really sell the pier!
The cloud is still there!
The Harbour Wall - this is where the penguins come back to roost in the evenings..
The Pier

For lunch we sat outside the Beachcomber Cafe and ate potato wedges! The we continued our wander and I went beach combing!
The afternoon turned from warm and pleasant (and yes quite windy) to suddenly rather dark...



The Pier at dusk.

We took a boat from the Pier to float around the harbour at dusk and watch the penguins returning to their roosts.
These are the photos of Melbourne from the boat - hence the colourful lights and lines.. quite arty really!


After the boat trip and seeing the penguins we got a tram back to Flinders Street Station - had a quick beer in the Young n Jacksons and headed home for a bowl of porridge!
