Victorian Parliament house

Arrived in Melbourne yesterday & booked into caravan park @ Springvale about 25kms from city.

Will stay around for 6 days or so, as we haven't really seen Melbourne & plenty of things to see & do.  Found a dance last night at Dandenong workers club, so did the "light fantastic across the floor".
