Melbourne

Arrived in Melbourne today- no cool welcome sign like for Sydney. Maybe its because that was an international arrival area with that cool sign I posted and I flew domestic here. Can't believe my Australia trip is almost over- 13 days left.

Melbourne is a very European like city. didn't get to do too much since I got to my hostel at 5pm. Monday I will tour the CBD/downtown and maybe the botanic gardens. Today I ate at am amazing Italian restaurant in north Melbourne. Tomorrow I get up early to go on the ocean road and see the 8 remaining apostles. (12 apostles).

A quick note about work- the med students first-third year really love working with a clinician for the their PBL and their "learn to take a history". Ah I remember those days of med school....so long ago. In a way I wish their was some nasty tox problem that I would get to respond to, but its better for the population that those things don't occur.

Things I might do in the next week or two: uluru (a quick fly in, stay one night, fly out), beach at sydney, harbour cruise, bushwalk south of sydney, zoo tour with keeper. Wish I had more time- if I did I would also check out the hunter valley wineries.

Below I posted a video of snazzle- hopping around the med school courtyard to show how fast roos hop. Supposedly an adult roo could hop over my shoulder from a standing position!
