I was irritated at the hotel, because Wi-Fi was not available.(Strictly speaking, it was available if we pay money)
I walked to the airport, and checked my Jet star flight will depart from the gate 16. And, I was waiting for the flight near the gate 16. But, I couldn't see the letters 'Jet star'. So, I was confounded.
As I checked the gate number again, the gate number turned out to be changed. As far as I know, The change of the gate number was not displayed on screen nor announced. (You may suspect that my bad English skills prevented me from hearing the announcement. Yes, I can't deny the possibility.)
Anyway, I headed for the correct gate. After getting to Melbourne Tullamarine Airport, I boarded Skybus for Southern Cross station.

At a Burger King, I ate two Sausage Egg McMuffins for breakfast. I moved to Flinders Street station and changed trains to Shrine of remembrance, which commemorates lives lost in World War 1.

I went up north to Chinatown to eat Thai food. I was surprised that free water was served.

After that I hung out, I was asked how to get to Bourke Street by a couple of females. Then, I didn't know the existence of the street. I couldn't answer their questions immediately. So, I showed them my map so that they can understand how to reach the street easily.
I got back to Southern Cross station by Metro trains, and changed trams to get to Eureka Skydeck, which is the highest tower in Victoria State.

I descended to ground and headed for Tullamarine Airport.
At the airport, I had difficulty to find the entrance of domestic departure. To tell you the truth, this is the first time for me to board domestic airlines overseas.
My flight was delayed because the airplane from GoldCoast had been delayed and the same airflame was used for the flight to Sydney.
After getting to Sydney, I went to the hotel in City.
