Melbourne



Day 1 ( 9pm , S'pore Time) : Changi Airport , Flight SQ227 to Melbourne !!!

6D/5N with dear and family :)



Day 2 (7am, Melbourne time) : After a long 7 hours, we finally arrived at Melbourne Airport :)



Onto the coach we went to embark on our new journey ...




First up, The Werribee Open Range Zoo !!!



Some picture with this big hippo :)



Following that, a visit to the Parliament of Victoria, very majestic looking building



Visited the Cathedral as well. My aunt said the people here originated from Italy, no wonder the buildings looked alike those we can find in Rome !!



Last but not least, we visited a reprical of Captain Cook's house when he founded Australia i believed :0 before heading to our hotel " Citigate Melbourne"



Day 3 : Visited Sunny Ridge strawberry farm :) Happily plucking my strawberries, each person was given a box to collect the sweet, fresh and juicy strawberries :p




There you go, our collection after some hard work !!! But she pose pose only lar, both boxes were collected by me !!



We visited a winery and had lunch at an italian restaurant , i had salmon while dear and family had duck :)




To finish off the meal, warm choc cake with ice cream :p yummy !!!




Following that tasted some of the wine, took a last shot before heading to the next destination



Visited a maze and took this beatiful shot :)



Visited this Shanghai Szechuan Restaurant for dinner :) Ironically it was famous for its chilli food, therefore most on the menu were spicy food. Because dear's parents were not exactly the best of chilli lovers, we ordered 4 dishes all without chilli :)



Supper at night was McDonalds and of course the lovely strawberries dipped in chocolates :)


Day 4 : Visited the Victoria Flea Market, followed by a mega shopping mall ~~


Lunch at the farm, i had the mixed combo of chicken and beef :P


Close contacts with several animals but i just want to highlight this troubled kangeroo. Didnt want any food fed to it. So seeing its misery, i instructed it to jump into the river to end its plights (:



Another kangeroo, oops did i just showed some vulgar gestures ???



Trying to strangle this ostrich !!



Visited the chocolate factory as well before visiting the penguine parade. No photography was allowed though.



Day 5 : Free and easy day, went walking about the streets, saw thus cute little dog in a shopping mall


The beauty of Melbourne ...


Trying to squeeze all my buys into my small luggage :) small if you were to see luggages of dear and family :P



Day 6 : Had donuts from Krispy Kreme, known to be one of the best in Australia !!


Melbourne Airport, back to Spore we go ~~


On this flight SQ 228, back to Singapore we go to end a pleasant journey in Melbourne City
