We visited the nearby suburb Malvern yesterday for a mooch around - a nice shopping street, very typical of Melbourne, with low buildings and independent shops.

We had lunch in Grill'd, a small chain which allegedly sells the best burgers in Victoria, in Australia, in fact in the World! They were very good, I admit. And the girl serving us admired the Leica so I took her picture... Fortunately there are no photos of us slobbering over our burgers.

Today we went to Chadstone shopping centre, which until recently was the largest in the Southern Hemisphere (one in Singapore overtook it). Similar to the Trafford Centre or Meadowhall. Justine had her hair cut and as we speak is colouring it.

We saw The Taking of Pelham 123, which we enjoyed, though I like the original with Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau as well.

But like books, the cinema is more expensive than the UK, but not by so much - it was $17 each, about £8.50. I am already thinking in dollars, not pounds now.

  1. I like the pic of the burger girl - it's very good.

    And I think it's a "mooch" around, though knowing you love-birds, you may have been right in the first place....
