Tour of Melbourne

Today I woke up with a very croaky voice. We didn’t go to breakfast but mum brought us some toasted cobs. We went on the best coach tour we have ever been on through Melbourne. It was lovely. In the afternoon we walked round and bought a souvenir in the second biggest shop in the world!

We looked at the cottage where Captain Cook lived. It had been taken down in England, and set up in the park there. It was very small but it looked nice. We looked at the conservatory next to it, but it was just the same as in Liverpool.

We drove on until we came to some big gates and we stopped. We walked through beautiful gardens till we came to an open patch. There was a white mansion called Como. It had a lovely view of the gardens. We went in and saw, in a glass case some lovely stuffed birds of paradise. We were told to go and wait in the ballroom. We went in. On one mantelpiece there was a gold statue with a clock on the bottom the guide showed us a musical box, it was a very pretty tune. In the nursery there was a pram that looked like a coach and horses.
