We headed for the Yarra river and took a cruise along it to see melbourne's highlights. We the went to the top on the Eureka sky deck 88 floors up and had a brilliant view of Melbourne. After a long day of sightseeing we went to watch a film at the cinema and had a meal in the local pub. Tomorrow we are off on a trip to the great ocean ro...
