More Melbourne

Two days and we already had a regular breakfast spot. The waiter was an Aussie version of Bob Hoskins and quite a character.

We decided to take the Victoria Market Food Tour….a 2 + hour walk through the market with stops for a few samplings of the amazing variety of meat, cheese, bread, wine, and fruits.
We had to make a quick exit from the tour to get back to the Melbourne Gaol to se the Ned Kelly mini drama. Set in the jail where Ned met his end, it was quite an entertaining and informative glimpse into the last days of Ned Kelly. After Kellyland and the convoluted story of Ned’s life and “career”, it was good to get a more true-to-life version. The Gaol also has the armour worn by the Kelly Gang, the last gun used by Ned and his death mask.
