On Easter Monday I went to Melbourne for the day to see some friends.
With no firm plans for the day we ended up nearly identically repeating the first trip I made to Melbourne in 2009.
After meeting my friends at Fed Square we walked along the Yarra through to Docklands and then caught a tram back into the city, getting lost in the shopping malls until we found lunch.

In the afternoon we headed out to Luna Park and St Kilda.

Following this we made our way to the Shrine of Remembrance.

To wrap up the day we then ambled our way through the surrounding parkland back to the malls of central Melbourne for dinner.
