We were supposed to go to Puffy Billy Dandenong train ride but we changed our plan to strawberry farm as this was our last day in Melbourne and we had been to Dandenong Ranges 2 days ago, though we did not take the steam train ride.
The entrance to the farm costed us $9 each. Each was given a plastic box and told that we could fill to the brim as long as the box can be covered. We had to be careful to leave a gap when covering the box otherwise the fruits,being fragile,would be squashed and spoiled easily.

(2) Afternoon free and easy
After the farm visit, we went back to our apartment, put our strawberries in the fridge and went out for lunch. We found this AINI cafe just round the corner of Claremont St and Toorak Rd and settled our lunch there.
When we were walking towards South Yarra station, it was school dismissal time and a whole horde of students were passing by us to the station. We were surprised that most of them, about 80%, were of Asian or pan Asian looks: Chinese, Japaneses, Indians, and not many of the pure white features.
Oh, I forgot to mentioned that on our first day in Melbourne we bought this myki card at 7 eleven convenience stall for $6 and topped it up with $7.50 value. The $6 is for the card deposit,valid for 4 years and the $7.50 is daily max that you need for travel on trains, trams and buses unlimited times per day. On the next day whatever unused bal of $7.50 can be brought forward and you just need to top up to $7.50 again to enjoy full day unlimited rides.
Saw these group of students dancing together and took a short video of it.
(3) Crown Casino
A casino lady staff came up to us when we were touring around and told us we could have $10 free voucher if we signed up their membership. The membership only used for accumulating points when you gamble and the points can be redeemed at any of their casinos, restaurants, shopping, hotels and nightclubs.
So Law and myself signed up for membership and just tried our $5 luck on the jackpot. The other $5 voucher could only be used for table game which we changed for table chip to keep as souvenir.
On the other side of the bridge is the Flinders St station. We took the train back to our apartment to get ready for the next day flight to Sydney.
