Friday 25th April - Day 82

Today is a public holiday in Australia and most stores are closed. In the morning there is a parade through Brisbane with all the armed forces represented and veterans marching along with family members. The Australians seem to honour their armed forces highly and treat Anzac day as their chance to reinforce that view. People line the streets and sporadic applauds rings out. The parade ends around midday.

There's not much time left after doing a few basic things like washing my clothes (it's the butler's day off) etc. My flight to Melbourne is at 5:30pm.

I arrive at my hostel in Melbourne around 7pm and have a wonder around the streets a little. I will be leaving early in the morning for another excursion.
