Well, before we get to the much anticipated Queensland holiday entries, I have one last randomish one. One day, some time ago, I don't really remember, I went on a trek and visited some somewhat famous Melbourne landmarks. Basically, some random pictures. Enjoy.

I like signs like this.

A lovely piece of art. With me underneath it.

Next I went to the MCG. I don't have a picture of it because I was too close to get much of it in my camera. It's too big. So here's someone else's picture of it. It's a lot better than mine would have been.

While there, I made friends with some former footy stars.

Next to the MCG is a bridge. Here I am on it.

Under the bridge go lots and lots and lots of trains. Here is one.

A bit outside the stadium, I ran into some blokes playing footy. They invited me to join their game. I said, "Sure!" I tried to tackle them, but they were a bit too tall.

Next I went to one of the stadiums where they trained for the Olympics when they were here in 1956. They actually held them across the road at the MCG.

Poor bus stop sign.

Next we came to Batman Ave, which I think has a cool name. I wanted a picture with the street sign, but I couldn't find one. This is the best I could do.

Finally, the Yarra River. Including cool boat people.

My final comment is that I have such long hair in all of these photos. For those not in the know, my hair now looks like this:

Hope you enjoyed. Shall be back with QLD entires (also featuring my former hair) sometime soonish! Unless I decide to study for my Health and PE exam.

Those signs are classic.

And the river is cute.

I wish I knew who the ARF players are.
