Melbourne has an excellent little zoo. Extremely green and lush with narrow little footpaths winding their way through the gardens. In fact, there is nothing between you (me) and the emus and wallabies except a knee high log railing. The animals can cross the path at their leisure -- kind of a lion country safari without the car. Saw a platypus -- very small animal.

I had taken the train to the zoo, but missed the first one because my watch was half an hour slow -- I was already on Adeleide time. For lunch, I had asparagus and cheese on rye -- very tea-time, or so it seemed.
