Australia: Melbourne here we come! (Finale)

Box Hill, some where we always hang out in Melbourne. That is because it’s the nearest station for us to get to town. One thing, transportation in Australia isn’t cheap. For us to go to town cost us 6AUD each. It’s the same price as me going to KL.

I think mum had 5 layers of clothes. She just can’t take the cold

Tengoklah ah ma ni. Dah 60 masih macam budak kecik

Unfortunately, the day we went for a stroll in town, it was raining so we had to hide inside Melbourne Central. Thank god they have some shops there to keep us occupied. After some short shopping spree, we headed for lunch and also called up Teddie’s care taker to see how she is doing.

Finally the rain stopped and we were able to walk in the town area. Sister wanted to look for a concert dress and the hunt begins. BUT!!! before that, we bought 2 very expensive macaroonz. Yes, just 2 and it already cost us 6AUD!

So colorful!

Mum still looks like a penguin here.

*sigh* last day in melbourne also rain so much. ):

After sist successfully bought the dress she wanted, we head off to Federation Square. Some where that we did not manage to go even though we were in Melbourne for freaking 4 days. Finally the last day we managed to go. Flood flood flood coming up!!! BEWARE

Senget d.=.=

The tall tower is Eureka tower. Didn’t manage to go as mum and sister were not feeling that well that few days. ):

A very weird looking building. Creative though

Still raining. *loud sigh*

Sist with Eureka and large “toothpicks”

Since we couldn’t do much with the rain. Had to go for a coffee break instead.

Why coffee in Australia all look so yummay de? Malaysia you keep up la…..

Finally the rain stopped and you can see the sun peaking out from the buildings.

Nice hor? *shame-less*

You know how people always say there is always rainbow and sunshine after the pouring rain? I guess it’s true.

Double rainbow some more ok? Super lucky ok? 

2nd one is a very faint one though, almost not visible in this photo. I swear that it look much better in real. #failphotographyskill

Mama and the rainbow.

Look fake isn’t it? wait till you see the rest, look even more fake! I DID NOT EDIT GAO GAO!

This is suppose to be their Royal Botanical Garden. Too bad it’s raining and it’s winter. I can imagine if it’s spring. Will be like SUPER-DUPER amazing~

Spot the white spot in the sky in these 2 pictures? I have no idea what it is. Aliens???!!!

That is basically the last picture of Melbourne. The next post will be on Tasmania! Which I totally enjoyed that place. you will know why when I post about it.  

Till then,

Au revoir

Australia: Melbourne here we come! (Part2)

After some city tour, it’s time for some country side. We were craving for wild life animals and my aunt brought us to Melbourne’s wildlife, Healesville. It is suppose to be like a park for animals to roam freely. To our disappointment, it’s not like what we expected. Most of the animals were actually caged and they weren’t as happy as I thought they would be. *put too much expectation* Did managed to capture some good shoots though. Here they are.

Country side with all the winery. Those are actually grape vines.

First thing that we saw of course la the famous Koala. Kept having problem and called it Panda instead. *FAIL*

The “botak” (bald) patch is not a scar, apparently they use their chest to rub on the trees to mark their territory. Wouldn’t it be better to just pee on it instead of making a bald patch on themselves?

Jumping from tree to tree,

and then continue eating. *nom nom nom*

Fact: Koala spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping and another 4 hours eating. (No wonder la they so slow motion and FAT!)

Next on, Kangaroos!

I was actually expecting those kangaroo roaming around freely, but was disappointed once again. They were kept in captivity and they got so bored with their life, they just ended up sleeping like the koalas.

One of the better shot

They are just not motivated anymore. ):

We didn’t see a kangaroo jumping, but we certainly saw a person trying to imitate it.

Got bored of the kangaroo after sometime so we went on. They even had hospital for animals.

Anyone there?

This bird has the most “cartoon” eyes I’ve ever seen! Japan anime also lose to them leh!

See what I mean? *weird looking eyes bird*

Sleepy bird.

“who’s talking about me?”

While waiting for mum to return from the T, sist had nothing better to do and start with her nonsense again.

The best has yet to come.

Tah-Dah!!

Finally when mum return, we were back to normal and went for a short bird show.

Enough of birds. We were then starving and went for BBQ. YEA!! you can cook your own BBQ in the park! They provide you electric stove and you can do your cooking there.

Before that, we saw some dingo, which look exactly like a dog!

LUNCH!

Well, not exactly BBQ, but we still had to cook the patty isn’t it? So it’s grilled burger LOH.

Chasing away the bird because it’s trying to steal food from us. =.=

Sister loves wine so we paid a visit to some winery before they close, which is 5p.m. Everything closes at 5p.m! For goodness sick. Open LAH longer, we want to have more shops to go to when the night falls! One thing I love bout their winery, they have F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C view.

I don’t mind staying in a house like this when you have …….. (continue)

When you have a view LIKE THIS!

Great view eh?

If you don’t find the pictures nice, sorry la. My skill not that “geng” (amazing) yet.

That’s all for this post. Will have one last post on Melbourne before I start with Tasmania (the place I enjoyed the most). Sorry with the over flooding of photos. I hope you guys love it. Cause obviously I LOVE THE VIEW IN MELBOURNE countryside.

Till then,

Au revoir
