Bye bye Melbourne

Sad to say goodbye to Melbourne where we've been for over a month I think. We never intended to stay so long but it was an unexpected treat. Always something going on from the first weekend's Sustainable living festival where we went to a talk by Peter Singer http://www.princeton.edu/~psinger/make_a_difference.html

to the amazing fireworks display of the Moomba water festival. We had a tour of the Robert Hunter, the Sea Shepherd anti-whaling ship (that's me at the wheel) which was recently in the news over here http://www.seashepherd.org/news/media_070224_1.html

It's a groovy place at the moment with water and energy saving schemes, loads of falafels and healthy food and we did our emailing in the animal liberation internet cafe. Lots of cinemas, great restaurants, bars, galleries, parks and gardens, picnics and barbecues down by the river watching the rowers go by.
