Jared Lee - Photo Album - BrightonBeach-StKilda

After renting a car in the morning, I started out my long 12-day "farewell to Oz" road trip by visiting a couple of Melbourne suburbs that I hadn't made it to yet, Brighton & Saint Kilda

09-Flags Flags at the St Kilda Marina

10-StKildaMarina St Kilda Marina

11-BoatShelves The marina in St Kilda is pretty amazing, in how they store boats like books in a bookcase ... if you want your boat, they have to get a crane to pick it out of the shed and set it down in the water, it's pretty cool to watch

12-Marina St Kilda Marina

13-Lighthouse The lighthouse at St Kilda Marina

14-LunaPark Luna Park in St Kilda

15-Pier St Kilda Pier, with Melbourne in the background

16-LunaPark Luna Park, which is probably Melbourne's most popular amusement park

17-RollerCoaster Luna Park roller coaster

18-LunaPark Luna Park ... I thought this was the only Luna Park until I saw one just like it adjacent to Sydney Harbour later in the week

19-Palms-LunaPark Palm trees at Luna Park ... nothing like palm trees on a hot November day (around 90 F), when back in Wisconsin/Minnesota it'd normally be about 30 with maybe an inch or two of snow on the ground :-)
