We arrived in Melbourne by car with Dave at the wheel and Marilyn flew in to meet us. We stayed at a beautiful three-bedroom high-rise apartment down town.
When we took our first walk in the city we came across this loud gathering of people protesting what Israel is doing now in the Meddle East in its war in Gaza with Hamas.
We visited the Old Melbourne Gaol (jail) or prison near downtown. We have toured a few other old prisons in our travels, and this one was hard to beat. We could roam almost anywhere freely, and there was plenty of information in each cell telling about famous prisoners.
We were surprised to read that the old prison held women as well as men. It said that often homeless children were sent there because they had no other place to go. Above are our wonderful hosts: Dave and Marilyn.
The prison was a place to avoid back in the day!
