  In Melbourne, looking westward down the Yarra River as it twists its way toward the ocean. We are standing on the Princes Bridge linking the Flinders Street train station and the Arts Centre Melbourne. Cam Ford and Gabby in one of the alleyways (possibly Union Lane?) where graffiti artists have a free hand obscuring the drab concrete and brickwork of some downtown Melbourne buildings. Gabby and Cam Ford. Confederation Square in Melbourne, a stark mix of old and new architecture. Cam and Steve chatting over supper.

  Marie Kennedy at her home in Melbourne. On my drive back from Melbourne to Sydney, I realized one morning that I was in Ned Kelly country. This very large construction commemorates Kelly in Glenrowan, scene of his “last stand.” I highly recommend Peter Carey's <i>True Story of the Kelly Gang</i> for further details. A view of the landscape around Glenrowan. Another stop on the way back to Sydney: one of many spiders (each at least the size of my hand) whose webs spanned 10- to 12-foot distances between trees. After photographing a bunch, I gave them a wide berth. Overlooking Gundagai, one of my stops on my trip back to Sydney from Melbourne.

  Another view of Gundagai showing the modern highway on the left and two old trestles &8212; one for trains and the others for 19th-century wagons &8212; crossing the often-flooded valley. Prior to the construction of the trestles (apparently the longest of such wooden structures in Australia) a flood would cut off the main transport route between Melbourne and Sydney.
