The Fifteenth

On the 15th, we went to Port Melbourne, just for the sake of visiting another part of town. We had to go to the post office to get my TFN application, but we decided to visit a new and exciting post office instead of a local one.

My TFN, by the way, is sort of like a Social Security number. You aren't born with one here, though, and it's not really even required that you have it, but if you don't, they'll tax you times a lot, so you want it. It's a Tax File Number. Yes.

So we went to the post office, but it turns out they don't have TFN forms there, they keep them at newsagents. Luckily, there was one right next door so we went there to get it. Newsagents are like magazine, newspaper, stationary stores. And apparently they also carry tax forms!

After that we had some lunch. Port Melbourne has a million lovely little cafes and restaurants, so it was tricky to pick one.

Here is a picture of the main road in Port Melbourne. I liked the contrast of the old 1890s buildings with the new skyline in the background.

And here's my mom and I there!

After that we went to Coles, which is the major supermarket here. Here is a picture of me with the largest Easter egg I've ever seen!! It was exciting.

On the way home, we were behind one of the trams that goes to Melbourne Uni, so I tried to take a picture, but it was challenging.

After that, Pippi and I went down to the Elwood beach, but I don't have any pictures of that. Oh well. It was quite nice. First swim in the ocean in 10 years or so. When I told my cousins that, they just about fainted. But we don't have an ocean in TN! The last time I swam in the ocean would have been here, in Australia. And it wasn't the last time we were over, since that was in winter. So it would have been when we came for Christmas and my 9th birthday.

And that just about does it for the 15th of February.
