While today here in Melbourne is March 12, back in the US it is March 11. Since we were traveling all day yesterday, we did not get a chance to wish our daughter Happy Birthday on her birthday here. Instead, thanks to the magic of the International Date Line, we get to wish her Happy Birthday a day late and still be on time!
Happy Birthday, Christina!!!!

This pub sits right in front of the rail line. The owner has some kind of sense of humor. I wish we could have gone over to explored it a bit and had a beer or two or three! It looks to me that the pilot of the plane to the left of the pub had a few too many!!!

Here is an example of some of the flooding we saw. This was near Culcairn

We have seen a number of quaint, old hotels as we traveled through the countryside. Here is one of them.

Taking the rail to Melbourne we passed many sights. I will post a few photos of what we saw. The countryside varied from flat grasslands with very large ranches to rolling hills. We passed through the foothills of the Snowy Mountains which was very scenic and it had a number of tunnels we went through.
This photo captures a small valley with a couple of ranches next to each other.
