Melbourne

Spent a happy four days in this south Australian city and walked the streets up to the Melbourne Museum and down to Federation Square. Enjoyed the Anzac Exhibition and lots of Aussie art at the National Gallery of Victoria. Joined the crowds watching a busker in the square and dodged the trams. Couldn’t resist taking a photo of the 10ml roller ball Bowtech Ease which I posted to Facebook.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bowen-Supplies-by-Helen-Perkins

Visited our soda crystals supplier to discuss a joint re-branding project (more on that later this year) and were given a tour of the plant where the mined crystals are brought in and processed… see the lovely photo below!

Enjoyed the views of the Yarra and beyond from our hotel Sofitel on Collins, which looked truly stunning at night, dined at Saigon Sally  - fusion Asian menu and great surroundings - and my  friend (and marketing consultant) who was with me met her pen friend for the first time. They started writing aged eight, extraordinary in these days of social media, and had a lovely day at St Kilda’s. All in all a memorable trip down under.
