There are plenty of paintings.  Well worth the visit.  Visitors also are exposed to the terrible history of the bad treatment of Aboriginal peoples by White Europeans.

Melbourne Queen Victoria Market foodie tour

They have this old open market.  Some of the vendors have been selling there for generations.

Some food tasting.  Ate some Roo and it was tender and delicious.

Penguin Parade

Woolamai beach stop over before destination, Penguin parade.

Beautiful pristine beach. 

Sunset approaching in southern hemisphere.

They don't allow photographs at the penguin parade.  At sunset all the penguins come back from the ocean.  Hundreds come on shore going back to their nests.  It is a sight to see.
