University of Melbourne

​I had the pleasure of visiting Melbourne in November 2017. I was in Australia for the Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs Annual Conference. It was a very good conference and it left me with precious little time to explore the city, its museums, and other attractions. I had a list of things I want to see and of course the University of Melbourne was high on the list. The city is itself is awesome. There are loads of great historic sites, museums, and of course shopping and restaurants. On the day I visited, the university was on the end of a trolley-line of things I had scheduled to see. It was early summer in Melbourne, and it was quite warm outside. I was tired, and I didn’t realize that as I reached the university my battery was about dead. In the end, I had a great visit. I roamed around and found that there was some kind of outdoor gathering going on (I don’t recall what it was), and there was some live music, artists performing skits, and others things going on. I visited the library and toured around and had a good time. Unfortunately, I was able to only get two photos in before my battery died! I almost didn’t post anything for this one. But since I don’t know when I will have the chance to get back to Melbourne I thought I would go ahead and post these lonely two photos. The first is the Trinity College building with the Behan Building to its right. It is the oldest residential college at the university. The second, also at Trinity, is the Horsfall Chapel. I hope to return someday with a fully charged battery!
