Melbourne/Wellington - 20 May 2003

AS OUR LAST ORDER OF BUSINESS in Australia, we wandered around the the Manufacturing Trade Exhibition. We then split up so everyone could visit the places in Melbourne they had yet to see; these included the Shrine of Remembrance, St. Kilda's beach, the Royal Botanical Gardens, and the Queen Victoria Market among others. At 6:40 we boarded our plane for New Zealand.

On our way to the Trade Exhibition, we came across several scenic views
