Saturday another au pair (Emma) and I went to a suburb called Richmond and explored the shopping scene on Swan St. and Bridge Rd. After that we went and watched one of Emma`s friends play a footy game, for the NFL league (and no not American football, Aussie football!).
Sunday I embraced the nice weather and did some walking around the Melbourne gardens and surrounding area. I visited the Shrine of Remembrance, which is a large, intricate, beautiful building in the centre of the Botanical Gardens and is Victoria's memorial to the men and women who served Australia in armed conflicts throughout our Nation's history.
After that I met up with a friend and enjoyed a few drinks at a cool bar called Ponyfish Island, which is located on one of the pillars of a bridge crossing the Yarra River.
That concluded my weekend, and fingers crossed the weather continues to stay nice!
