Melbourne was very interesting, but I come to realize that Australia has a very short history. It's not like most countries outside of the US or even like most states in the US. Many of the historical buildings in the major cities of Australia have been rebuild with new high rises that are fabulous, but much like any major city. We were able to tour several way memorial sites. Melbourne is going through a drought and everything was dry and brown.
Our visit to Tasmania was lovely. It has different eco systems and provides a variety of plant and flowers that were just beautiful. I toured the botanical gardens and went to the pinnacle of Wellington Mountain. The weather was very cold and windy, but the pinnacle provided some awesome views. Hopefully my pictures will prove this out.
Signing off for now.

I forgot to tell you that if you wanted to post pictures you can always go to an internet cafe while in port. Just make sure to pay with cash for minutes though. Glad you're enjoying your trip!
