We had a couple of hours in Melbourne city centre today as we had to come in to pick up our debit cards etc. So we did a bit of exploring on what was a sunny day, but it was quite windy.

The first shot above is St Michael's Church, the second is the main Flinders Street rail station.

Last time we came by train but we thought we'd brave bringing in the Hyundai. Finding a spot for the car was fine but it's hard (or expensive) to find more than 2 hours' parking.

So the tram may be the other idea, though we haven't been on one yet. They just tootle along in normal traffic, but it can be a bit disconcerting to see one bearing down on you when you glance in your rear view mirror!

One shop I did find was a large secondhand bookstore which sells only crime books: fiction and factual. I can see myself visiting that one fairly often...
