Its almost been 3 weeks down under and so far it has been quite enjoyable. Elecive-cum-holiday mood. Melbourne is a rather nice cosmopolitan city with alot of vibrancy. The weather has been cold but a nice cool contrast to what Spore is experiencing now i suppose. Other than work on the weekdays, weekends have been spectacularly good. Went to tour a few places with my meddie friends...
First on the list was the famous Great Ocean Road. Went to a number of sites along the way. Visited the 12 Apostles in all its spectacular glory. Remember we studied so much about in physical Geog. Finally got see them with my own eyes. Also went to see another rock formation called "london Bridge"... I suppose i will post more photos up when i have time.
Along the way to those rocky stony formations along the sea, we stopped over to see some koalas and to feed some of these colourful birds that will come right down to your hand to feed of the seeds you've got. A number just stood on the top of my head and on my shoulder... haha. The birds are beautiful and tame. Theraputic experience! haha
This is a photo we took at the Crown Entertainment Centre in Melbourne's South Bank of the Yarra River. This is the fire show that happens every top of hour and last for about a full 5 to 10 mins each time, with large burst of fire columns of different strength and different permutations lighting up the southern bank of the river. You can really feel the heat from columns from where the people in the picture are standing. Rumour has it that there have been reports of Roasted Pigeons falling from the sky coz of these flames! haha. But its a novelty i must say, and tourist and locals alike love to watch it. Since it occurs every hour, you will definitely catch it sooner or later.
This photo was taken at Mackenzie Falls when I took a tour to the Great Grampian mountain ranges on the 2nd sunday in Melbourne. It was freezing as I can remember it. Well, not subzero temperature by the looks of what im wearing, but enough to make your fingers go cyanosed and numb. It was a beautiful sight to behold. (NO not my blue frozen fingers, but the scenery of the falls.) On the way there was nothing but hectares and acres of farmland dotted with assorted sheep and cows happily chilling out as they feed on the lush green fields that surround them. The Vineyards were also nice to see... Grapes growing on the vines... and waiting to be plucked for squashing into one of Australia's finest wines...Okay... enough of an update here. As you can see, i never updated abt work. hahaa. Nope, not here at least.
