Tram
They have a lot of Trams in Melbourne. Kind of like the River Line in NJ. They have one line that uses the old nostalgic trolleys. This is it.

Apples were very tasty and juicy!

At Melbourne
Today is Saturday, 27 Feb.
Having a nice cup of tea in the room after arriving in Melbourne. Then we all have a group dinner.
I'm going to a gold mining town on Monday. Was going by myself since it a day for optional tours and I didn't want to do the suggested one so I found the Gold Town. 6 of my fellow travellers liked my idea and they are coming too!

25 Feb, morning.
Still overcast and everything wet but not raining right now. This morning nature walks and the leave at noon for next place.
Last night we had a nature talk with the animals in the rain. Cold and wet but did get a couple of pix. They are still in camera and may xfer one when I get time.
Group walk
Some of my group on the nature walk in the rain. I'm in the picture too!
Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.
Raining
At the hotel at the top of Cradle Mountain but rain is steady, probably throughout the night into morning. We leave around noon so won't see anything.
There were a couple of Wombats outside my room in the rain so got some shots of them. Camera got wet but it seems to handle rain OK as long as not thoroughly soaked.
Sheepskin
Bought a nice sheepskin in a little town in Tasmania (Ross). Ever so soft and beautiful. Too big to carry with me so having it mailed. Expensive to mail, hello, I'm in Tasmania, Australia!!
Have to take care of #1, moi.
It is authentic and good price, even with shipping.

Monday, 22 Feb update
Back at hotel now. When we arrived on Sunday it was clear and sunny. Today, our first day if touring was overcast most of the day with light rain. Fooey! Grrrrrr.....
Fed the kangaroos, saw Tasmanian devils, saw koalas too. Had a few brewskies along the way. Fish and chips for dinner- big portions. Lunch had a steak and pepper (spicey kind) "pie". Pretty good.
Camera got a bit wet in the rain. Afternoon was mostly in a museum- we had planned to go to top of highest Mtn but top was covered in cloud the whole day.
Oh well.

More Radiation
Taken on the Qantas flt fm LAX. We are almost at Australia at around 38,000 ft. Reading is quite high. Normal at sea level is around 35-50.
So, radiation increases with altitude!
