A Walk in the Park
Two weeks ago, we went out on a cold, sunny Saturday afternoon to take a walk in the Fitzroy Gardens, a park located at the “border” of the CBD, close to the Parliament. It’s a very nice place, with lots of grassy open spaces and a few areas with dense vegetation. There is a beautiful flower conservatory there, and also a decorative fountain with statues of marine animals (called the “Dolphin’s Fountain”), but it’s now dry because of the water usage restrictions.
Here are some pictures:

A museum; this house belonged to Captain James Cook’s father, and was brought to Melbourne from England in 1934
Flowers…
There was an old japanese gentleman sitting on a bench by this lake; I though he was enjoying the view, or meditating, ou something like that; as we walked past him, we saw that he was actually typing something on a mobile phone.
