Keith and James do a Q & A session

  We got a big kick out of being met at the airport with our names on signs . . . 

Keith tries to make a decision at a Melbourne candy store

Vegemite Central

I don't think you can get this in America, but I could be wrong. . .

A fine selection of meat-flavored potato chips

Milo products galore (not sure where Keith's hangdog expression came from)

We really had trouble with the whole "Vegemite" situation

The living room in our fabulous hotel suite!

Kitchen/dining area in our suite

Front door of our suite

The ENORMOUS, ancient palm tree in the hotel courtyard

Ellen and Bossy take a nap

Even the bathroom was fabulous!

Burger King has a different name in Australia. . .

Melbourne's famous "Gog and Magog" clock

Another product variation we don't have in the states. . .

. . . turns out it can also be used as a weapon!

Marty from the Iron Talons poses with the "Kitty  Love Fish" sign

Mind Games in Melbourne had almost everything Keith's ever written!

. . . so we took a bunch of pictures!

Ellen with Tim-Tams (for a demonstration of how to eat them, click here!)

We were mystified by the "Somewhere in Colorado" store. . .

. . . because of course, camels are always closely associated with our home state. . .

Kangaroo Pie at the Aussie Pie Shop

Very cool glass tower at the mall (Sharn-like!)

Bossy with the cool ancient library ruins

This building had a "Partridge Family Bus" feeling about it

"Cow up a Tree" sculpture!

The 411 on the Cow up a Tree

We tried really hard to get Bossy up the tree to pose

Luckily we met David, who helped us

Success!

These nice folks helped us get Bossy up the tree

Keith in Batman Park (yes, Melbourne was founded by Batman! Really!)

Ellen in Federation Square

Drug laws seem to be a little looser in Australia (actually, we think "pot" means a mug of beer in this situation. . .)

The Druids seem to be on a recruiting drive in Melbourne

Lawyers in Melbourne get to wear costumes! fun!

Love those low doorways!

Keith bought a few souvenirs. . .

. .  plus this great leather hat!
