Melbourne Museum
This Pygmy Blue Whale skeleton is awesome!
Artists' rendition of the Australian coat of arms. The shield bearing badges from each of the six states is supported by a Red Kangaroo and an Emu.

There was an exhibit which included Micronesia in an out of the way gallery. It stated that the "crab claw sail" has been adopted all across the Pacific as a symbol of the islanders' life and experience of the sea.
The sails in this exhibition were commissioned from Pacific Islanders in Melbourne. The sails represent, left to right, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.
I need to do some research to learn more about this. The Micronesian sails does not include any graphics that I am familiar with.
cappuccino at the museum cafe tops off the visit
