August 14th, Australia Day 174

These photos I took on my last day in Melbourne.

This is the entrance to Luna Park in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne to the south of the CBD. I spent most of the day in St. Kilda and this is the main attraction there. All Luna Parks have a clown face entrance. 

This is St. Kilda Beach which borders on Port Philip Bay. 

This is the Palais Theatre beside Luna Park. 

This is a statue to James Cook who sailed into the area in the late 18th Century. 

When I saw these boats, I began to think of the submarines the British sold us that were fine as long as they didn't have to go under water. I began to imainge that the Australians would try to pull something similar by selling us these things and telling us that they were state-of-the-art warships. 

Inside Central Station there is this giant watch. 

his is the old tower of Central Station in Melbourne, now enclosed by the spire of the new Central Station.
