Melbourne

---

A lot of the stuff we did in Melbourne has already been included in the Canberra blog so instead of reapeating everything I'll just include the other stuff we did and make it a short one!

As you can probably guess from the photos we visited Melbourne Gaol, again more convict history, but at this one we did the 'gaol experience' where we were given aliases, arrested and had the watch house experience, so were put into cells etc. The cells had actual prisoner grafiti over them - some not suitable for children if you get what I mean! At the old gaol, there were loads of head casts of prisoners that had been hanged and the actual gallows where Ned Kelly was hanged were there.

Chinatown was a bit of a dissapointment, but the shopping would have been good if only I had the money.
