As I was running out of time in Melbourne, I wanted to
cram in as much as humanly possible as there was still things I wanted to
see/do. I was so happy when Sammy and Pat agreed to come to the Royal Botanical
Gardens with me.
We spent the day in the sun, wandering around looking at
the trees and flowers.
It was a really relaxing day…well apart from the play fighting of course haha!
After a fun day at the botanical gardens, we were talking about what else I wanted to do before I left and I mentioned The Shrine of Remembrance. Sammy then told me that we could cross it off the list right now as it was just across the road from The Royal Botanical Gardens. So off we went!
The building was really pretty and I loved reading the inscriptions carved all around it. Then we headed inside to see the rest of the shrine.
It was such a grand looking building inside; just stone and marble everywhere. All around the outside were flags, including the Union Jack.
At the other end of the building was a museum. It featured various war memorabilia including some uniforms.
It was a really nice day, and informative too!
