Jul 28, 2009 - The sun shines in Melbourne so out with the bikes

Tuesday 28 July At last a sunny day! Bren and Jill have two bikes which they were happy to lend us but it was not clear whether tyres were flat or punctured.

We checked out Luna Park, the little funfair that was VERY tame in comparison with the Pleasure Beach, other than its gate in the shape of a giant clown’s face with the doors being its mouth.Tuesday 28 July At last a sunny day!
