TESSELAAR TULIP FESTIVAL, VIC

Had a splendid week in Melbourne with Charina. This is our first time travelling together. We stayed at the Wynham on William Street. The serviced apartment has easy access to 2 Melbourne tram lines. 

Sat 4 Oct 
Breakfast at the popular Brick Lane Cafe.  
Tesselaar Tulip Festival. We took an hour's train from Flagstaff Station (a short walk from the Wynham) to Belgrave Station. Then a bus from Belgrave to the festival.  




The weather was cold and grey just the day before so we are so pleased that the sun has come up for us today.  It's perfect weather for a flowers and photos.
