Great Ocean Road Trip~

Great Ocean road is a place that I always wanted to visit if I have the chance to come Australia...It is one of the most beautiful natural tourists attraction in Australia!

I was so glad that Unilodge organised this trip for us and we only need to pay $15 to sign up! =D It would probably costs $100 if you join a tour! How lucky to be with Unilodge =p

We took train to Melbourne Central around 6 a.m. to meet another gang of Unilodge residents in the city... and we depart at around 7 a.m. using buses...

It was a long long journey approximately a four hour drive along the Great Ocean Road! That means we spent 8 hours inside the bus ><

We experience the breathtaking coastal views before we actually get to the main event which is the 12 Apostles! How spectacular! ^^

First stop! 

Tourist spot! lol

Melbourne's beaches are always so beautiful~ 

Second stop!

Parrots are everywhere! =)

and we had fun trying out the Panorama effect there! LOL...failed many times and finally a nice one! =D

Next stop - Otway National Park

Wild koalas on the eucalyptus trees~ Do you know that Koalas can sleep up to 22 hours a day??? Haha but this one we saw was awake that time...lol...

Next Stop - Apollo Bay 

Stopped here for lunch but we spent our time on the beach ^^

HAHA yes we played with Panorama effect again...lol...





Next stop - Port Campbell National Park ~ The "Twelve Apostles"

I was so glad to witness the famous 12 Apostles! Isn't it breathtaking?

so BEAUTIFUL~

US ❤

❤

the scenery is so beautiful just like a painting~ 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.......The 12 Apostles are now 7 apostles only because some had fallen! =(

Last stop - The London Arch which is also known as 'London Bridge'...

There was a story behind the name! The arch closest to the shoreline collapsed unexpectedly on 15 January 1990 and  leaving two tourists stranded on the outer part until they were rescued by a helicopter...Luckily there was one was injured in the event... Hence the name London Bridge! =p

I was so sad that we couldn't visit the Lord Arch Gorge because it was late and we have to head back to Melbourne city! =(((

Anyways I had a great time touring Great Ocean Road! ^^ 

This is a MUST visit place if you are in Melbourne! Don't missed out the magnificent scenery! ;) 

View my FB album if you wanna see more photos! ;) 

See Ya! 

Mornington Peninsula Road Trip~

I joined a club in our uni which is the Malaysian Swinburne Association...It's basically a club of all Malaysians ONLY! lol...Then we get to join many activities/ events that they organise at a cheaper rate =) 

So there was a trip to Mornington Penisula and we joined it for $75 which includes 3 places - Strawberry farm, Wineyard and Hot spring...Supposedly we it was only $60 but we registered late so they have to find one more car for us...So yeah some of us had to paid extra $15! T__T

They rented 6 cars and drove all the way there using GPS...I took 1hr plus to reach there and we stopped by at Dromana beach =)

It was cloudy and windy that day...and it was freaking cold! ><

Enjoying the wind at the beach~  

and the colourful huts along the beach~  

(This is not as nice! wait until you see the colourful huts at Brighton Beach xp)

some of the club members... 

Chilled at a cafe before we left the beach...Had a hot mocha and brownies...The brownies tasted great! It mixed really well with the cream and ice cream! <3

Then we headed to Sunny Ridge strawberry farm...

A restaurant inside that sells almost everything with strawberry~ Strawberry sundae, strawberry smoothie, strawberry waffles you name it they have it here xp

Our plastic shoes! lol...

Not many strawberry at that time because it's nearly winter... 

Each of us get to pluck one big box of strawberry for FREE! ;) Haha No la we paid for the entrance fee already...lol...

Then we continued our journey to Wine yard! 

We get to test the wine here~

So pretty~ ^^ I drank a lil bit of wine but I'm not a wine person so it taste normal for me...lol...

Last stop - Peninsula Hot Spring. 

When I heard "Hot Spring" I tot it was something like the hot spring back in Sarawak but when I reached that place............Omg it was totally different from what I saw back in Kch...This one is way too nice!!! 

At the reception waiting for our entrance tickets...

  

When we were inside the changing room...Naked girls were everywhere! >< They don't care about others and walked around naked! I was like 'OMG'  o.O The most extreme things I've ever seen in my life!!! LOL...

So here's how the real hot spring look like...

The Foot Spa~

The Relaxing Walk with the pointy rocks on the ground...






There are many hot spring with different temperature! 

 Me hiding inside the cave...Outside was too cold~ ><

This place is really amazing~ 

It's like hot spring everywhere inside the jungle...............

........................or I shall say Hot Spring on top of the mountain! Spectacular view huh? ^^ 

Okay it says foot bath here but I don't understand why people soak there whole body inside the water == Yucks~~

Left the place at 7pm and look at the crowd....People is still queuing up for the Hot Spring...

Shall go back again next time and this time I'm going to buy a bikini ;) and let's hope the weather is not cold... =p

Enjoyed the trip to the fullest! =D
