What a beautiful place Melbourne is. Everywhere is a perfect place to take photos (according to me :D). I love the air, atmosphere, and all living things like plants that are taken care very carefully and birds that naturally live with no fear of any harm from human beings.

In the inside, you will see lots of memorable items from history that would amaze you. Some of the items even scare me, for example this Katana
