Fun in Feburary

With Bill returning from a couple of very busy weeks away - well thats what he tells me, we decided that we wouldn't venture too far afield for a couplde of weeks. There were still a few things happening in town that we were yet to see so first stop was the NGV where we saw The Modern Britian Exhibition 1900-1960. Masterworks from Australian & NZ collections.

This weekend we ventured down to the Linden Gallery in St Kilda to see the Linden Postcard Exhibition. It is on each year but this is the first time we have seen it. Again a wide range of art to look at, some good and some begging the question - what the? Just down the road in Acland St was where we headed too next for a yummy lunch.

Saturday night and we donned the 'glad rags' for a walk up the road to The State Theatre to see Shout - The JO'K Story. What a great night. It was the final night here in Melbourne and if it comes across the Nullabor it is worth a look.


Station Pier had it's own bit of excitement on Thursday with the Queen Victoria coming to Melbourne for the day on her maiden voyage around the world. We decided that we would catch the tram down to South Melbourne Beach and see what we could see. As it is only about a 15 min walk from there to Station Pier we had a great view. We walked half way to the pier along the beach and waited to see her leave and the fireworks just before hand. There were lots of other people who had the same idea so a real party atmosphere was felt all night. She sure is a 'big girl'. That's the Sprit Of Tasmania beside her.

So once again it's farewell Feburary, bring on March.

Until next time...........
