Mit Victoria fahren wir bereits in den dritten Bundesstaat ein, um uns dann in dessen Hauptstadt Melbourne niederzulassen. Hier gibt's wiedermal ne Ladung Kultur (gratis Kunstgallerien sei Dank) und einen gemuetlichen Walk durch das Zentrum an allen wichtigen historischen Gebaeuden und Theatern vorbei. Unser eigentliches Ziel liegt aber an der Dandenong Road, ausserhalb der Stadt. Hier lebt meine ueber 80 Jahre junge Grosstante Beth seit mehr als 40 Jahren und verkauft immer noch jeden Sonntagmorgen selbstgemachte und erstandene Kostbarkeiten auf dem "treasure market", dem lokalen Flohmarkt. Nippes kann also durchaus jung erhalten..:-). Beth's vier Kinder sind alle Australier, jedoch leben drei davon in der Schweiz. Nur der aelteste Sohn Andre ist in Melbourne geblieben. Tante Beth hat's um so mehr genossen, fuer zwei Tage wieder mal Schwiizerduetsch zu reden und ueber die Schweiz zu philosophieren..
By entering Victoria we get to the third state of Australia. We're heading for its capital, Melbourne. Here we get another load of culture thanks to the free art galleries and nice walking tour through the centre covering all the important historical buildings including many theaters. But our goal is at the Dandenong Road in the suburbs. Here lives my 80 year young great aunt since more than 40 years. Every sunday morning she's selling home made and other stuff at the local treasure markets. See how old treasures can keep you young! All of Beth's four children are Australians, but three of them live in Switzerland. Only her oldest son Andre who we met as well lives in Melbourne. Aunt Beth enjoyed it very much to philosophize about Switzerland in Swiss German for two days..
