[Leica] Melbourne

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I seem to be stuttering to the end of the photographs of our Australia
trip, so unless I stumble across an overlooked gem or two, this will be the
final installment.. We seem to have just managed to get it done in January
2020, before the pandemic hit. We were surrounded by Chinese tourists
everywhere, and breathed a sigh of relief mid February when it was apparent
we had not caught anything.

To start with, a quartet from the ravishingly beautiful Botanical Gardens
in the centre of Melbourne:

We took a day tour on the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to the Twelve
Apostles formation, but were plagued awful weather:

On our last day in Melbourne,, Alastair & Helen Firkin took us to
TarraWarra Estate in the Yarra Valley for a superlative lunch - its Neela
and the Firkins lolling around in the grass in the first shot!
