Melbourne in Autumn
Posted: June 3rd, 2010 by Courtney
It’s been getting pretty cold here over the last few weeks. All the leaves are changing colors and we have had to get out our winter jackets.
Fall colors at Carlton Gardens
This weekend we went to the Hotel Windsor for their famous Afternoon Tea. My mom and dad got us two gift certificates for my birthday, but since we were in Brisbane we had to wait until now to go.
The historic Hotel Windsor
Tea started off with a glass of rose champagne, a three tiered tray of savory treats, and of course the Hotel Windsor special blend of tea. Snacks included little finger sandwiches on the first tier, savory muffins and meat pies (totally Aussie) on the middle tier, and scones with double cream and jam on the top tier. We were in heaven already!
Cheers!
Savory snacks
And if all of that was not enough, there was a desert buffet including a chocolate fountain and fresh crepes. We went into for a couple rounds of deserts, trying to get a little taste of everything that looked good. Needless to say we were happy and had very full tummy’s leaving the Hotel Windsor.

THANKS MOM AND DAD! WE LOVE YOU!

Great to see that you guys are still taking in the sites! I was there for a year and still didn’t get enough…On a side note, I used to live a few blocks from the Carlton Gardens!

Wow, that looks like a pretty nice place. I am glad you and Scott had a good time. This makes up for the tea party I gave in Half Moon Bay that you had to miss!
