04-Fruit My parents and I both picked up all sorts of stuff at Queen Vic Market, including Australia t-shirts for all of us, and I also picked up a Minnesota Twins jersey! I was shocked to see anything like that in Oz :-)

05-QueenVicMarket Queen Vic Market ... I can't believe I hadn't ever been there prior to that day with my parents, it made me wish I'd gone there a couple times before

08-HookTurnSign A sign for a hook turn ... Melbourne is known for its hook turns ... What is a hook turn? Well, at certain intersections if you want to make a right turn, you have to move into the left-most lane (and remember that they drive on the left side of the road, so a right turn is crossing traffic) ... when the light turns green, you pull out into the middle of the intersection, but move even further left, and then just wait there until the light turns red again, at which point then you turn right ... it's kinda scary the first time you do it, but then it's fine

09-MelbourneZoo After Queen Vic Market we went to the Melbourne Zoo, another place I hadn't ever been to in my nearly five months in Melbourne
