Melbourne Day 3

Soo day 3 in melbourne :) fun stuff! started off the day at the Australian NGV to see lots of amazing Australian art, Rupert Bunny, Frederick McCubbin, John Brack, Brett Whitely, Eugene von Geurard, very amazing :)

After a logn time at the art gallery i got the train to Prahran, a cute little suburb of Melbourne  with a ton of high fashion shopping on Chapel St. Its such a charming area with gorgeous architecture :)

and they just happened to have the wonderful store American Apparel! So i did a bit 'cough cough' of shopping :)

i think this building was maybe the town hall? if not its some important building :)

i liked the sign of this shop :)

I had a lovely lunch a sidestreet cafe and made my way back to the train station to get back to the city

this is Prahran Train station

Back in the city i hopped on the free city circle tram to get to the Carlton Gardens and the Melbourne Museum

lots of things to see on the tram ride :)

Pretty sure this is the Victoria Parliament bulding-its purty!

and some pretty tower church thingy in the distance

So then i hopped off the tram and wandered through the lovely Carlton Gardens up to the the gorgeous Royal Exhibition Building

Behind the Royal Exhibition Building is the Melbourne Museum, where i got tickets for the next day for the Tutankamun Exhibition and seeing Harry Potter 7 part 2 in IMAX 3D!

Soo then i wandered over to the University of Melbourne, passing by the cafe and restaurant busy Lygon St

So then  i walked around the University, having no idea where i was and just wandered aimlessly, getting a feel for the campus and the Uni itself :)

Gottu take a few artsy pictures for effect :) this building is AMAZING

This is the old arts building which if i end up going there is where most of my classes would be :)  (Assuming i major in art history)

The grass is SO green!!!

more of the old arts building :)

Pretty reflecting pool :)

builings outside of the Uni campus

lovely park across from the uni :)

Its really pretty :) i really like it here!

So then i wandered back tho the city and it was a lovely long scenic walk :)

Some old bath house...with a tram infront of it :)

It was a VERY busy full long day :) locing melbourne so much! tomorrow is the last day...gonna be so sad to leave, but hey, i'll be back! and goin to queenstown thursday morning :)
