On the invitation of Lloyd's List DNC to deliver a presentation at the 6th Annual Port & Maritime Scurity 2009 which was held at the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV).... had the opportunity to re-visit Melbourne after our last holiday there some 5 years ago. Arrived early on Sunday morning, thus it was just too early for check-in, so took a walk to the Queen Victoria Market to wonder around for 3 hours before the rooms could be available.
The flea market was still as interestig as before. Lots of unique stuff such as personalised car plates, clothing for dogs, odd shape plates, etc ....
After the walk around, the room was finally ready and checked-in to the RACV @ 501 Brouke Street, Melbourne. Though not obvious from the outside, the rooms were large and well equipped to the standard of a 5-star hotel.
Whilst the programme proper was held mainly within the Club, our first night dinner was some 500m away at the Dockland pier. The night scene was certainly peaceful at the pier-side. Was thankful for the first 3 hours of wondering around the streets of Melbourne for that was the only opportunity for a look-see, look see around town.
