Australia! - Great Ocean Road

I had a great time in Australia with my parents, sister and family friend. We visited many places... Here are some wonderful photos:

- Changi Airport: Mum, Aunty Doris, Me



Transfer Bus to Perth Domestic Airport: It's very cold in Perth!

In Spore, we take free Skytrain from one terminal to another. In Australia, you take transfer bus which requires you to pay. We didn't have to pay because we are Qantas passengers. Hmmx...no wonder some airports are world class and others are far from it. Hees, I very mean!


Don't my parents look so good together?! =D


Best friends!



From Changi airport, we took a flight to Perth then to Melbourne. Melbourne is the first place we went. It's beautiful! The most memorable of all is the first day when we drove down Great Ocean Road. Melbourne is in the south of Australia. It has a stretch of road a long the South Ocean (if I'm not wrong). I don't particularly like to do sight seeing during tours cause I find it boring. But GOR blew me away with it's magnificient sights and breath-taking views. As it's winter, it's very cooling...freezing in the morning and when night falls..but just cooling in the afternoon. So you can imagine...nice wind blowing at you while you're so captivated by these wonderful sights.




Breakfast


Grace made tea using this metal pail. She puts the tea powder and hot water in the pail and mixes them by swinging it. She says the gravity will cause the tea to be pushed to the bottom of the pail and it won't fall off =P Cool! Haven't tried at home yet. Haha.






1st stop after breakfast




Toilet Break




Cape Patton: just a nice place to enjoy the scenery



Look at the back! That's my house...in the future. Haha. There are many vacation houses that overlook the South Ocean. *WAH!* I don't mind owning one of those. Solution: either I become so wealthy and buy a house there, or marry someone rich and make him buy it for me as a wedding gift...haha. Wake up Gloria!!!!





We saw a few Koalas. This was the nearest and largest. The rest were high up and hiding behind the leaves. Koalas are very fragile, they either have lesser ribs or weak ribs (can't rmb which is it). But it's not good to hug or cuddle koalas. They always cling onto the branches because the type of leaves that they eat do not give them energy for activities more than clinging. Haha.






Maits Rest Rainforest

We took a walk in the rainforest and saw trees hundreds of years old.
