Checking in from Melbourne, Australia

The photo shows a clever sculpture we saw at New Norcia, Australia’s only monastic town.
We’re now in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s cold. Melbourne is known for its four seasons in one day so I’ve bought beanies and gloves with me.
It was a long day yesterday. We had to get on the plane outside which involved lugging our hand-luggage up steps to the plane. When we got to Melbourne, we seemed to walk for ages just to get out of the airport. Eventually we found the right bus to take us into Melbourne itself. We had coffee and chips in Hungry Jacks, then caught a taxi to our AirBnB.
We didn’t get into the place till nearly midnight. We thought there might have been some long-life milk in the place but no luck there. So we’ve had black tea for breakfast and shortly we’ll head off to our son’s place.
We’ve connected to the wi-fi here so I should be able to spend some time here from time to time.

Interesting photo...
I'm glad the trip went well. I hope you don't get too cold there. (What is the temp? 20C? 
)
I hope your son is doing better than you think.

@JudyEv At 10C is when I switch from jean shorts, tank tops and sandals to long jeans, a short sleeve shirt and real shoes.
I'm glad it's not too cold.

It's been good to catch up with him again. It's been a couple of years since we saw him.

Today has been better thanks. It hasn't even rained on us and the A/C is doing a great job of keeping the lounge and bedroom warm.

I like the image. Is it made from mechanical parts? Sorry about your tea and very long day. I will be looking for your other posts.
