Our last day in Melbourne

An outing to the local Farmer's Market this morning - a good selection of interesting looking local produce.  We were dropped in Camberwell on a mission to buy some Christmas presents! 

It just seems unreal as it is still so warm here and we are unable to relate this to Christmas shopping.  Our purchases are easily obtained and followed by lunch in a new little cafe, where we have 10% off our meal just for turning up. 
Eric in the cafe.

The number 75 tram calls, or maybe not as there is a small banner across the tram cables on that particular street saying ' Trams Do Not Enter - Power Off'.  We decamp to the stop for the number 72 and wait a short while for it to arrive. This forced decision means we have to walk uphill back to the house along the busy Toorak Road, rather than down a hill and the much more pleasant Bowen Road.  

More local walking and bird watching for one and packing for the other.
New birds are;
Red Rumped Parrot
A Chickawee with moth. 

The same Chickawee- trying to hide beside a branch. 

A relaxed meal and then it's off to the airport. 

Should be a comfortable flight now I have a neck pillow. Only the one size available. 

Bon voyage Eric!
