The East side

Just back from a lovely few days in melbourne. Same country but a 3 1/2 hour flight and a 3 hour time difference... this country sure is big! I had a couple of days to myself to explore the city whilst R worked hard. One thing i really noticed was how hectic it felt compared to Perth... busy,busy, busy with a helluva lot of people. As i was telling people this today at the gallery, we decided to google population figures and discovered melbourne has about 4 million people and the whole of WA only has just over 2 million! I really hadn't realised how few people there actually are this side of the country. Anyway, so back to Melbourne. Had a great time checking out the street art. There are lots of laneways to discover with graffiti and cool secret bars... i don't think we even saw half of them.
