We had a tour around the city with Phil. One thing that stood out was the Shot Tower in the middle of the city. It was built in the 1800's to make gun pellets. They drop the molten lead from the top of the tower and by the time it reaches the bottom it is the right size droplets and it plunges into water at the bottom to cool.
The thing that impressed me the most though was that it was not knocked down for development. Instead a huge shopping centre was bult around it.
We spent some time walking down Bridge road as well which is lined with shops. We travelled by tram so felt very Melbournian.
The whole place ia abuzz with the tennis. We are going tomorrow and will get to see Federer play. I can't wait to see him. It's not often you get see someone as brilliant and talented as him.
