Melbourne on Sunday

14th May

Cheap ($2.50) tickets to Melbourne via Connex (railway) and to the free Trams around Melbourne which operate for tourists along a specified route right around the city - which we do.
A very secular Sunday (only fourbells from a ring of eight from St Paul's Cathedral) - but very cultural with people heading for the art galleries and eateries.
Today is Mother's Day as in the US - not to be confused with Mothering Sunday. We go to the new wing of the NGV - the National Gallery of Victoria - at the Federation Square. www.fedsq.com
I am particularly interested in the Aboriginal (the first peoples of Australia) Art and enjoy the many paintings and carvings there.
Lunch at the older NGV which is another architect's dream with water features and a stained glass roof in one area.
We also explore the redeveloped Waterfront, with its expensive yachts - and another (new) Aboriginal art gallery.

Weather - dull and overcast!
