A weekend in Melbourne, Australia

So I made it the 6th continent of the year - Australia! Mary and I ventured down under for the race and enjoying the amazing city of Melbourne! Lovely city and beautiful! We had perfect weather for the race - 45 degrees at race start and up to 65! So much better then running in Singapore! So thankful!
We got to do some sightseeing at Phillips Island to see the kangaroos, koalas, and the penguins! Amazing! My favorite was the koalas! Australia is wonderful and we already decided to do the Sydney Marathon next year - flat course with mild temperatures is perfect!
Here are some pictures of a great weekend!
