Melbourne Trip : Healesville Sanctuary

Went to the zoo. kinda far away, took an hour to reach there. I insist to go to the zoo, while my mum said it's a waste of money, there are nothing special. I told myself that I must go because if i never see a kangaroo and took a picture of it. I am considered never been to Australia! Ha, here is it. Kangaroo!!!


Kangaroo~ they ain't cute at all


It is hard to take a front view of them.
They only show you their butt.




No, this ain't Kangaroo. They are rock wallabee, they are cute


Wow, these bloody Pelican are huge! their height reach my waist.


yeah, black swan


Platypus!




I forgot their names. They are cute and fat like a German sausage






Tree frog


Ah ha! Wombat! he is damn cute!
It is a pity that i am not allowed to touch him.


This is a Emu not an ostrich.
The second largest bird walking on earth after ostrich


It's a bird
(forgot it's name :P )


This is not a toy. Can't remember their name too.


This bird has a rainbow colour on it's wing.

Melbourne Trip : Crown Casino

Crown Casino! yeah! Great place, great food and great game. Play a few round of the slot machine. I find it kind of pointless, sitting there clicking the button and keep inserting coins.
We were looking for the fire show at 10, but we failed. In the end, we accidentally bump into it on the way back and it is going to end. I managed to capture the last bit. pity~ :(


You can feel the heat if you stand around the flame tower.
The tower is 1 to 2 storey tall.




The last one~

Melbourne Trip : Twelve Apostles

Today we are going to the Twelve Apostles. I am not sure how far is it. I only know we left in the morning and reached home at night. It damn far away!


On our way, that all I saw. Wide, flat land, those are farm.


we stopped for toilet after a few hours of driving.
This is a wild parrot and he is no zoo keeper.


wild koala~ Just above the parrot.


mummy~


unknown flower


Apollo bay! Another stop for lunch


Apollo Town


Bloody Twelve Apostles, here i am


These are Apostles, total of twelve.
However there is only 8 left.
See the pile of rocks at the bottom?
Those are the remains of a collapsed Apostles.




They looks small yeah?
They are actually 6 to 9 storeys tall.


A small dot on the shore may represent a human.
Just to let you know how big are these rocks.
Same to the wave.


Endless land~


Feel the wave~ It will blow all your work, stress, sadness away


(click the picture to enlarge)




We are so small, hehe








That is my mum again. She is covering her mouth.
Because there are flies, particularly aiming your mouth.
I don't know why. May be they are sourcing for water.
The weather is dry and the land is mainly sand.
Thus drinking water is very valuable.

The wonders of the mother nature.


Previously was a Blowhole.
After years of corrosion of the wave and wind, it become like this.


Thunder Cave.
