Rotary banners decorate the streets of Melbourne as the formal opening of the convention draws near. This morning the House of Friendship will open its doors.

At the end of the afternoon we visited the Melbourne Skydeck for a view of the city from the 88th floor.

End Polio Now Walk

I just finished the 1.5 mile End Polio Now Walk. 

Foodie Tour

Our tour group at the QVM included Rotarians from Alaska, Wisconsin, and Texas. This wasn't a Rotary-organized event, but we all separately had the same idea. Here is a sampling of the photos I took.

Ready for the Foodie Tour

We took a tram from the convention centre to the Queen Victoria Market where we are scheduled to take the Ultimate Foodie Tour in 30 minutes.

Convention Registration

It is Friday morning, and we arrived at the convention center early to pick up our badges and wrist bands for two of the host committ events.

Memorial Arch

At the east end of the Ocean Road is a memorial arch commemorating the World War I veterans who initially constructed the road.
