The classic free city tour tram.
The mall of the Docklands District and the Melbourne Star in the distance.

Etihad Stadium and the CBD.

The CBD at Flinder's Station.
On
Sunday I took the train to Flinder's Station the CBD (central
business district). This is one of the major train stations in
Melbourne and many of the train lines stop here. All train and tram
fares are waved in the CBD. You can ride for free on any tram or
train in the core. This is to help alleviate traffic congestion.
There is a circle tram that travels around the centre area. I hopped
on it an rode half way around to Elizabeth Street where I got off and
walked three blocks to the Queen Victoria Market. This is a huge
mostly outdoor market that consists of several areas. There is a
fruit and vegetable market, a meat, seafood and dairy market, a
clothing market and an area for tourist souvenirs and other items.
There is also an area of small restaurants and snack food kiosks. I
wandered around this maze quite happily for a couple of hours
watching people, checking out things that were offered and sampling a
few types of food.
The
accident uber driver phoned while I was out, but I didn't return his
call. I phoned Graham and told him the situation and asked for his
advice. He told me to give my insurance company the heads up in case
he contacted them by tracing my licence plate. So that is what I did
on Tuesday.
