We arrived in Melbourne at 8:00 am and were able to disembark the ship shortly thereafter. As ship approached the dock, I got some excellent shots of the city skyline which, by all appearances was very modern, with a number of tall skyscrapers.
We had already had our meet and greet with Australian Customs and Immigration in Hobart, so leaving the ship was an easy matter. We emerged into a large area and were greeted by helpful Aussies who advised on transport options. For $0A$15 we got a card that allowed transport on all public transportation in the city. As it was, there is a large rode fee area that covers most old downtown, so the card amounted to a round trip ticket to downtown and back. It was needed, though, as it was quite a distance from the dock to the main CBD.

Of course, we visited the Harley shop, Harley Heaven. A new CVO Ultra Classic runs A$42,990.
More to follow.
Sydney tomorrow!!!
