When I went back to Melbourne in 2004, Federation Square was a new additional to Melbourne’s CBD that I had never visited before. Federation Square is a bit of an artsy place, what with the Ian Potter Center and the Australian Center for the Moving Images, otherwise known as ACMI.
Unlike my usual inquisitive self, we didn’t end up exploring every last square inch of Federation Square. We only managed to get through ACMI before the hubby got distracted by the need for some tucker.
Below are some photos I took while we were wondering through ACMI. Below was a film recording the eyes of many different people.
In this shot, the hubby was talking to my SIL. It was the first news we received about the Tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean. My SIL’s boyfriend’s sister had been in Thailand at the time where they felt the aftershock.
Christmas 2004, I was originally planning to follow the Posers to Krabi until a telephone conversation with my Dad changed everything. He seemed incredibly disappointed that I was electing to go to Krabi for Christmas instead of coming home. Somewhere, deep inside, I rediscovered my conscience and decided that perhaps I ought to pay my family a visit for the festive season instead of making yet another haj to my rock climbing mecca.
I guess God was smiling down on me because I would have felt the effects of the Tsunami in Krabi had I gone there instead of Australia. Luckily no one was hurt in Krabi. The damage was mostly to the beach front properties.
This was an interesting rocket of some sort.

When we went there in 2004, the entry was still free so it’s not a bad way to spend an afternoon if you’re looking for some way to pass the time and keep yourself entertained for free.
