Woke up around 7:30 AM. Smitha made scrambled eggs and tea for breakfast.
Walked down to Bourke Street and took the tram to South Melbourne to get to York Street. Went to the Centrelink building but was told there was no need for me to register at all! Silly Marcus. Walked back and took the tram to Parliament. Went to the ATO and signed up for the TFN. Walked down to the apartment and had lunch - ham and cheese and fruit. Opened the bank account.
Since we had a few hours to kill and a Zone 1 day-pass in our hands, we decided to take a train out of Southern Cross as far as we could on the Frankston line - all the way to Bentleigh. The sun was setting by the time we reached, and we walked up and down the main street, looking at all the closed shops and the lighted, but empty, real-estate offices. It sure gets sleepy outside the city.
We came back to Southern Cross and took the tram over to Crown Casino to meet Marcus for dinner there. The buffet has a great spread and we were stuffed by the time we left - it was nice to have carved ham slices again. Walked around and down the bank of the Yarra river and waited for the tram back. Walked back to Lonsdale at 11:00 pm but we felt quite safe.
It was a long day and we had a blast!
