I walked in the morning to the Victoria state parliament building, where I discovered that a guided tour inside the building is just about to start. So I joined it. The wonderful building really desires to host the state parliament. We went to the green and the red rooms where the decision makers do their job. The old guide lead us all around while explaining how the house works. His explanations were tempered by occasional cynic comments on politicians and funny stories. Jutka, thanks for the good advise that was really worth a visit. Then I took the Circle tram to Dockland where the Central Pier, New Quay and Waterfront City are located. The port was built around with modern office and residential buildings. The interesting urban styled area is colorful and full of good restaurants.
Afternoon I visited the Immigration Museum, which scans the history of immigration to Australia from 1788 to the present day. The nice exhibition explained general historical aspects as well as some points of personal view of those who have settled in Victoria emphasizing the multicultural history.
Now I'm heading back to Dockland for some dinner. Tomorrow Great Ocean Road.
