The weather was overcast with a slight breeze which was good for walking. We walked north along Spencer St and saw a pet bakery!!! NO THEY DO NOT BAKE YOUR PETS - they bake for pets! We then went past the Art cafe corner of Spencer & Batman streets where Spike was desperate for a coffee to go.
Next we walked through the Flagstaff Gardens, which was Melbourne’s first cemetery and the earliest of Melbourne’s public city parks.
Going past the Royal Historical Society of Victoria we noted the former art deco medical core drill hall on the eastern side of gardens. This “sneak peak” became extended by a few ... few more ... few more ... minutes.
Then through RMIT to visit Old Melbourne Gaol. JUST VISITING of course!!
Finally, the Trades Hall union gallery, then we found a lady to open museum for us, with the "Tin Man" being the most interesting exhibit for some.
…and then of course the mandatory coffee stop to recuperate and compare notes.
