THE BEARD'S CULTRAL DAY OUT IN MELBOURNE!!!!

Gday..

Well we have had a very busy day today!!! The Beard's got cultral today we went to the Melbourne Museum & Art Gallery what what what what!!!!! It was a bit, well musuemy for our liking!!!! We even lasted 20 minutes there...

But back to the beginning of the day, first stop we headed to the Eureka Skydeck which is just around the corner from our hotel..... It's the tallest viewing platform in the Southern Hemisphere!!!! the views were amazing and we got plenty of pics.. some of them below..... They also had an edge experience where you hang over the edge of the building in a see through box....But we didn't have the time (or the stomach for that!!!)....

Next stop the Carlton Brewery for a tour at midday... the tour lasted 90 minutes and was actually really interesting... and the best bit you got to taste four beers after the tour.... Slightly pissed (due to no food since brekky and a less that normal alcohol consumption recently) we headed to the Melbourne Musuem... As we said above, it was museumy but the dinosaur bit was cool!!!

Next stop an Old Melbourne Gaol (Jail!!!) which was in use until 1994 but not any more!!! we had a little look around and then went in the watch house (a waiting jail) where we were treated as if we had been arrested... think strict Sargeant and being locked in a dark cell for 5 minutes (no we're not kidding!!!) and you're pretty much there... We got separated up in different cells.... Kinda weird and creepy!!!!!!!

Lots of Love

Lucy and Lee xxx

  3. G'day guys, hey, a jam packed day then.Breathtaking views from the top, not sure I would have been game going up to the top! Dig the yellow jackets, is this a new drinking culture in Oz?
