Old Melbourne Gaol. This is where Ned Kelly lived his final days before he was hanged on the 11th November 1880. In total 136 Hangings took place in the Gaol before its closure in 1924. It was quite spooky to walk round and the cells were just tiny. I could walk in them as they made me so claustraphobic.

We got the train from Altona to Melbourne City. First visit was to the Tourist information to find out where places where and what was good to see.

Then after a wonderful homecooked roast we settled in for the night. Monday we headed out to Melbourne City for the day.

Friday we got up and Steve took me round some of his old stomping grounds and went to see some old friends of his. That ni...
