Melbourne in the Evening
After a few
days in the outback of Alice Spring we took a plane to Melbourne. Our first
Backpackers was near the Crown Casino and next to DFO. The first afternoon we
spent for shopping at DFO ( a big factory outlet),by the way Melbourne has
really aggressive driving taxi drivers.
On the Bridge to the Crown Casino
Melbourne
is a big city with a lot nice places like little Italia, China Town and some
parks. During our time in Melbourne we visited IMAX, Game Master (Exhibition of
old Game station to newest 3D game playing), Chadstone (biggest shopping mall southern
Hemisphere), Queen Victoria Market (Fresh Food, Clothes, Souvenirs almost
everything you can imagine), Skydeck (biggest tower in Melbourne), visiting an
AFL Game (Goo Cats, biggest Stadium I’ve ever been), gamble at the Crown Casino
and visiting the great Ocean Road.

Parrot Feeding
We could
hand feed parrots that was amazing and there were so many. It was also the
first time a saw wild koalas and not just one. Our tour guide told us that they
are overpopulated on this area.
Koala Damage
Wild Koala
This tree
is dead because of Koala damage, they eat so much that the tree is no more able
to keep him alive (15 per area, double of the normal population).
And of
course we saw the twins, 12 Apostles and the Gipson Steps.
