After a walk in the street of Melbourne, Floé had a superb idea ! We have gone to the Healesville reserve. It is a outdoor Australian zoological park specializing in animals local. We have seen kangaroos, emus, dingoes, Tasmanian devils, bats ... etc
We had the chance to meet the emu ! It is a beautiful bird, very curious and who has often approached. The scenery of the park was also very beautiful. It have been a very pleasant moment that we fully enjoyed.
Unfortunately, we have gone back to the hotel.
We have gone to Melbourne and we have go share our experience, the things we have discovered and loved !

With Floé, we have arrived at Flinders Street station, who is Melbourne central station. As he was late, we have gone to a hotel not very far who called "The Sebel Melbourne Flinders Lane", this one was very chic and very nice !
The next day, we get up early to have gone visited the melbourne aquarium who is a public aquarium located in the center, by the Yarra river. The bottom of the building is placed 20 meters underneath the ground and contain a oceanarium, who offer at the visitor a panoramic view of aquatic animals. A route mark with arrows allow the visit of the four floor in which we can observe: jellyfish, murray cod, japanese giant crabs, sea dragons, fish, shark con servation farming ... ect
Then, we have gone to the National Gallery of Victoria who is a art museum, he include currently 63.000 works art (all style). It was a very interesting and cultivating moment. The same evening, we have gone to a bar to relax: "The Curtin House Rooftop Bar". This bar transform in outdoor cinema ! On the way back, we have walked in the district of Southbank. The banks of the River Yarra are very pleasant and have a beautiful view of the botanical garden on one side and skyscraper on the other.
