Sadly, today is our last full day in Australia. We started the day doing some laundry and, while Michael stayed at the accommodation to monitor the laundry, I took the bus and tram to downtown Melbourne to do some shopping.
While it took longer than anticipated, it was interesting seeing the arcades which are century old shopping malls with quaint little shops. There is a lot of construction in the area as Melbourne expands its train system.
This evening, Michael and I went out for a final dinner at a resturant on Elwood Beach. There were lots of people on the beach this evening as it was 36c today. The sand on the beach is not a nice as many of the beaches we have seen but unlike the other beaches we have seen, there were no lifeguards on duty.
So our adventure in Australia ends but what wonderful memories.
Hopper Oz Adventure 
I am not sure if this trip is fake news or not. I do not remember any of this. I do recall ginger beer and scantily clad younger ladies in their swim suits, a long conversation with an elderly aboriginal regarding their culture. I also recall a NSW chap telling me Queenslanders don’t know how to spell “beer” so the Queenslanders labeled theirs “XXXX”.
