My Aussie Fun (to be cont'd)Back from Aussie trip, with a delighted heart, tanned body, and sunburnt arms. So so so much fun even greater than I had thought.
(Something off the topic) When I was applying the Aussie visa, I told the immigration officer "it'll be a between jobs holiday" and I wrote a perfectly plausible explanation as well since my employment certificate apparently wasn't right there available for me (forgot to mention here that I quit a month ago, and the only thing to lament was why i hadn't done that earlier, much earlier. A lesson hard to unlearn). got it on the spot.
Instead of uploading numerous photos and writing monotomous itineraries, i'm gonna render this trip in a slightly different approach as indeed it's way much heart throbbing (in a pleasantly exciting way of coz) and to some extent touching than just a trip. Got loads to share:
pure fun activities like swiming, surfing in Gold Coast Surfers' Paradise, cuddling koalas in Brisbane, patting and feeding kangaroos in capitivity and running into wild ones when driving;
gourmet and drinking indulgence, Tukka's valentine's dinner, the Coffee Club, Cafe Rock, Cafe Sydney, Dolcetta, and most stunningly, the Sydney Fish Market;
arts explosion, the Sydney Opera House tour and Madame Butterfly, Museum of Comtemporary Art (IMCA) and Art Gallery of NSW;
coffee sipping in shops tucked in narrow n beautiful lanes of Melbourne and in Queen Victoria Building, Sydney, bathing in the luxurious B&B in Apollo Bay;
climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and driving hundreds of miles and enjoying the most spectacular sceneries along the Great Ocean Road and taking the historic city circle tram in Melbourne...and of coz, the weekend markets...and architecture admiration as well...
Surely, some pities left too:
one more day there I'd be able to catch Yayoi Kusama's exhibition in the IMCA!!! Been always loving her works, my blog photo album featured some more than 3 years ago;
one more week i'd be able to catch the famous Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras;
Wanted to stretch the Great Ocean Road driving gig further to Queenscliff, Port Fairy and Port Island where 19th century fishing towns and resorts and streets together with their usual tranquilities yet occassional excitements during festival times are well kept;
Wish I had more days to cover Yarra Valley wineries for a chic meal accompanied with fine vintege wine and Phillip Island for the smallest species of Penguines...
Guess these are partially the reasons to plan my next aussie trip.
however, most outrageouly, newly bought Cannon G10 was far beyond my capability to control...lousy colours...runied loads of my photos which supposedly to be signature ones
Seems I still got lots missing. Anyway, get started first
 Imagine Where Antarctic is when at the most southerly point of the Great Ocean Road, Otways Lighthouse (when I was there I tot it's the southernmost point of Aussie mainland). Sounds silly, but hey, I had fun. (shld give Maiqi credit for this :P thank you dear for offering such a yy tot, though it's not in Tasmania, I'll go there next time for salmon and trout haha)
  Kangaroos
Patting and feeding kangaroos in capitivity are nothing fresh, how about running into a group of real kangaroos when you are driving :P. and one of them even fell down due to nervousness...must be a rookie
Location: back to Melbourne from Prince highway after the Great Ocean Road (Warrnambool to Colac)
Wish i knew how to put a video here as only two left when i switched from video mode to phtographing :(
Btw, ironically we didn't encounter kangaroos at all where loads of these signs appeared
 Stock in Australia seems seldom see people, when they found us they were:
   Knackered after a long trip as well...that's for today and will update soon
Ohohoh lastly ME driving (but just for a little while haha)
