Looked as though it was going to be another hot day so we took ourselves off to the Botanical Gardens about 40 minutes from hotel on foot passing Federation Square and crossing the Yarra river on way. The gardens - they were beautiful and tranquil from the noise and pace of the city. Whilst having a coffee in the garden café a cheeky moorhen landed on the table next to us and sampled the dregs of some bodies coffee head right down into the cup.
After lunching at the Mr Tulk café a very buzzy place, we tried to get ourselves on a tour of the library but the guide and his party appear to have started early! In view of the heat etc we wandered around the building and looked in on the Ned Kelly exhibition which included his iron suit and rifle plus lots of background to the events leading up to his eventual execution.
