[Picture Right: ANZAC Day 25/04/03]

Waking up in the morning the day was so calm and still, the trees across from the house were not moving.  We decided to catch a train down the bay [Port Phillip Bay] and bike along the coastal bike path back into Melbourne.  Mark is pictured here at the start of the ride at Mordialloc Pier, south of Melbourne.

One of the good things about Melbourne is the Cafes and Restaurants.  One of the reasons for a bike ride is to have a coffee or lunch and take in the view.

We both like to  go for long walks, a beautiful Melbourne autumn day saw us out for about four hours, a frequent walk is along the foreshore of the bay.  Not only are the marine views great but the mammals when out are very WOOFY.

Mark had long service leave at the end of 2000, something peculiar to Australia and dating back to going back to England after having looking after the convicts.  Mike caught up with Mark in New York for Xmas and then went onto Provincetown for some together quiet time.
