The first port we sailed into was Melbourne.
Our ship docked next to another cruise ship.
Our shore excursion today was riding the Puffing Billy train through the countryside.
Everyone was glad to see the train and waved with smiles on their faces!
We enjoyed lunch on the train as we watched the Australian countryside go by.
I was fascinated by the local birds.
These parrots were hanging around the train station.
And these large loud birds are called swamp chickens and are everywhere.
After riding the train, we stopped at this sanctuary,
where an artist created sculptures of the local indigenous people.
There are sculptures all over this man's property.
The property was later bought by the local government and turned onto a park.
There are 92 sculptures in the park.
It is interesting to walk and see how he integrated his art into nature.
William Rickets died in 1993.
