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.
