This was an important stop for Paul as he used to live there with his family when he was 19.
We started the walk down memory lane with a visit to the home and neighbourhood where Paul lived. We found the house he lived in.
As it has been 50 years since Paul was here it was not surprising to find things had changed. In his neighborhood, trees were bigger and development had exploded!
We made our way to the lookout on Mount Ainslie for a birds eye view of the city. We could see the impressive war memorial at one end of the planned area of the city and the old Parliament buildings at the other. A large man-made lake lies between.
Then we headed to the city centre...which was a quaint understated area when Paul lived here. What a surprise to find a huge mall surrounded by apartment buildings!
We ended our day in the comfort of our temporary apartment where we had to turn the heat on to chase the chill of the night away! What a difference from Airlie beach where it had been 31 degrees!
