Australia Is a Double Scoop of Wonder for Shamathmika Bhat, Who Goes About the Tourist Circuit With Childlike Wonder
Do you fancy the corner slice of a cake? The one with extra cream on the top as well as on the side? Australia happens to be no different from that little piece of heaven—it is found in the corner of the world map, and has the added goodness of being both a country and a continent.
I travelled to Australia with my husband in September 2017. “It’s 11°C in Melbourne,” announced the pilot, right when the plane had started to descend. And once we stepped out, we got a real dose of how cold that was.
By the way, sorry folks, I won’t be able to suggest suitable accommodation options in Melbourne, unless you want to stay at our friend’s place. The city is well connected by train, bus and tram. In fact, we used trams ourselves, especially to drop by places such as Queen Victoria Market, Parliament House, Shrine of Remembrance, Flinders Street railway station, St Kilda Beach, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Cricket Ground.
