I stopped for brunch at Fitzrovia (http://fitzrovia.com.au/). It was wonderful. Australia takes its coffee pretty seriously.
The pier was lovely!
Tasmania is somewhere off the horizon there. Quite far, but there.
Looking back toward the city.
THERE WERE PENGUINS IN THE ROCKS. LITTLE PENGUINS (literally, they are called Little Penguins).
This building, now a cafe, is modeled on the original that was built in 1904. The original was destroyed by arson in 2003, and when the city was debating how to replace it, the people voted to have the building rebuilt as it was.
I met up with my friend again, the symphony was playing a free Christmas concert by the river. It was wonderful!
From there, we wandered through town on our way to Fitzroy, a fun and funky little neighborhood just outside of the CBD.
Our first stop was a neat little bar called Naked for Satan, http://www.nakedforsatan.com.au/. (hi, Mom!)
We had dinner a fabulous Greek place that has since, very sadly, closed down. After dinner we had a nice wander through the neighborhood.
Our walk back took us past St. Patrick's Cathedral.
