While looking at Seven-Eleven sideways

When I crossed the main street, I could see the Carlton Garden

 

Carlton Gardens

This is the entrance to the Carlton Gardens、When I took this picture、I thought it was just a park。

The first time I realized that this was the World Heritage Carlton Garden, when I saw this information board。I didn't know that it was in such a city。

And as usual, severe manners。Bicycle riding is strictly prohibited、Put the lead on the dog、10km limit、And it is strictly prohibited to feed animals such as Opossum ... Can you see Opossum in this garden? ?

Start searching for Opossum! I have encountered Tasmanian Devil and Wombat in Tasmania so far、I remember that I haven't seen Opossum yet。

I've walked around a lot, but none at all ... I can't even see a squirrel or a rabbit, let alone Opossum ...

 

Wang Li Exhibition Hall (Royal Exhibition Building)

I walked around but I couldn't find it after all、Finally I came to the front of the Royal Exhibition Hall。After all, it's raining, so maybe animals are staying in the rain too.。

Even so, the Royal Exhibition Hall is huge。This kind of historical building in the city、It reminds me of Buckingham Palace in London.。

 

Despite the introduction of world heritage, Opossum became the main in the second half。next time、Walk around the Royal Exhibition Hall。

A 5-minute walk from St. Patrick's Cathedral will take you to the Victorian Capitol。

Passing through Parliament Gardens

Cut through Parliament Gardens, also known as Parliament Gardens, for a shortcut to the State Capitol。It seems that there are usually many people、Unfortunately there is no one because of the rain。

The object in the center is、It seems that water is usually spouted like a shower。

St. Patrick's Cathedral can be seen over there。It would have been a nice view if it was sunny。

The Princess Theater on the other side of the street。The spelling of the theater is Theater in British English and Theater in American English, isn't it?

Bicycles are not allowed in this parliament garden、Also, it seems that walking dogs without leads is also prohibited.。Strict manners。

A trash can that is always installed in such public places。I think Japan is really inconvenient。

 

Arrive at Victoria State Capitol

Everyone seems to be taking shelter from the rain because it is raining。

Parliament of Victoria。Victorian Parliament Building。This state of Victoria is the name of the state to which Melbourne belongs.。By the way, Sydney belongs to New South Wales。

Shall we go up the stairs now?。

Free tour only on weekdays。Approximately 9:30From 2:30Will be held every hour。I didn't participate in the tour this time because I wanted to do other sightseeing.。If you come to Melbourne next time、I want to participate at that time。

 

This is the end of sightseeing in the Victorian Capitol

This Victorian Capitol is a European building。Well, it is Australia that became independent from England, so it may have left the atmosphere of Europe in some places.。

View from the front of the entrance。If you go straight on this road, you can reach Southern Cross Station.。

Now、I'm in a hurry so it's time to leave the Victorian Capitol。My clothes are getting wet and it's getting a little cold.。

Finally, I took a picture of the Victorian Capitol and St. Patrick's Cathedral.。
