We started our Australia Day at Government House. This is the house the Queen dined and stayed in when she visited Melbourne last year. The house is only open to the public on Australia Day...
Can you please pass the salt... the table set for 54 guests...
The Governor's (Alex Chernov) State Chair in the State Ballroom. It is only ever used by the Governor or the ruling monarch - the Queen.
The RACV (Royal Automobile Club of Melbourne) held an event in the Kings Domain gardens including a collection of 500+ classic cars. This has to be my favourite...
We then walked up to the Shrine of Remembrance for the midday 21-gun salute...
The military band then played and sang 'Advance Australia Fair'...
We then climbed to the balcony of the Shrine to see the view over Melbourne...
Happy Australia Day!
