Just before our arrival in Melbourne we received a message from Haydn to advise that the property we booked would not be available, but that he would be able to accommodate us in another nearby apartment that he also owned. It was only a street away, so was still convenient for our needs.
When we looked out the front window of the apartment in East Melbourne (this is a truly delightful part of the city with its well preserved mid Victorian era - 1850-1900 mansions, terraces and houses) we found to our surprise and delight that we were looking at the home of my great great grand father where he lived for le last few years of his life until he died there in 1888.
