On day 29 I got up a bit earlier than I have been so I could make an early start with all the activities I had planned for the day, I started the morning of by heading to Parliament House which was very similar to our Houses of Parliament with their two chambers one for the assembly and the other for the council, the building also housed their own library which overlooked the Parliamentary gardens and St Patrick's Cathedral. Once our tour guide Tony had given us a very detailed tour behind this building, I headed to the Old Treasury Building which is a building that has been around for certainly a few years as it was around when Melbourne was first being built during its gold rush. All the old rooms on the ground floor give you a history of the uses of the building and the history behind it and that the Governor of Melbourne still resides there now, in the basement you could explore all the old vaults that would have at one staged stored all of Victoria's gold, most of the vaults had visual displays that were either of pictures or movies describing and depicting how gold was sold to traders or how it was transported and then stored here. Also in the basement was a little house dwelling where the head of security would have lived with his family, but it was only basic with a single room for cooking and sleeping then a laundry room with a bath and wash area. After the Old Treasury Building I walked up to St. Patrick's church which was an extraordinary piece of architecture and the panels of the windows were tinted yellow so with the sun shining through it gave a nice warm bright feeling to the place, the organ there was pretty large compared to some I have seen before and the church also had many different chapels around the top of the alter, this was again another place steeped in history. I decided that for my lunch I would head into the Fitzroy Gardens that are situated to the East of Melbourne's CBD, and took in some of the sights the garden had to offer including the River God Fountain, Dolphin Fountain where I had lunch, Model Tudor Village, Fairy Tree, Sinclairs Cottage, Cook's Cottage and Conservatory. Cook's cottage is probably one of Melbourne's most visited attractions as it was once the home to Captain James Cook the most famous explorer there was and his parents, the house was sold in an auction in Britain and was bought by a Australian who decided he would transport it brick by brick to Australia and place it in Fitzroy Gardens for everyone to see. Once I had done all of these sites on my way home I visited St Peter's church which is a bit smaller than that of St. Patrick's but still a lovely building, and I also walked around the Treasury Gardens and took some photos of the JFK memorial before heading home.
