Not such a great day with showers forecast but we headed off for the markets at Guildford. These were very small and disappointing, but the town itself was lovely ... very old and very historic. We did a little driving tour of the main sites including the Chapel of the Guildford Grammar School; and we had a look around the town which has some unusual and interesting shops. Unfortunately they know how "quaint" they are and the prices reflect this, but it was fun browsing. We also had lunch there, with mixed results, before driving on to Whiteman Park.

| Maurn and the Melbourne Tram |
This is a huge complex, mainly aimed at families and children. There are lots of picnic areas and kids activities, animals and rides. We had a bit of a look around and then we took the tram for a ride. It was about 6kms round trip and Mum enjoyed it as she has very fond memories of the trams in Brisbane many years ago. This was a Melbourne tram, so not "authentic", but it was a nice experience.
While we were doing this Garry had taken himself off for a happy hour perusing the Motor museum. It was a particularly good one and he actually had an enjoyable afternoon that did not involve shopping!
