My holiday trip to melborune and sydney officially ended as at 07-07-2007 1700hrs. It was a much anticipated trip as i did things i haven done before like ski-ing and playing with snow. After the phase one of the holiday to sunshine and goldcoast and byron which was a shivering experience i embarkd on phase two on 28th of June 07. Thanks to my friend eric who sent me to the airport so i could save on the public transport and the waiting time. There is soo much to do and see and there's just too little time to finish evryting.

 

In melbourne where the journey commence at 1am when i reached avalon. it's like over 50kilometres from melbourne man... took me near to a hour of driving to reach king street backpackers. The tiolet was made up badly and the double decker beds simply stinks.

AFter catching some sleep the journey continued.

 

29/06/07 Day 1:

We set off for the 12 apostles which is along the great ocean road. Damn bloody long drive with corners similar to mount akina the ride was bumpy and my poor passengers had to suck it up as IM THE BOSS because i'm at the wheel. Nearly killed a koala when IT jumped on the road out of nowhere at one of the sharp bend. IT survived greatly due to my quick responses to the braking system with ABS equied toyota corrolla rented from hertz. Had a fright of my life and from then on i was driving at moderate speed without speeding along the tracks. Victoria's a nice place for you to test your cars. I reach heights which i never thought would be able to reach by dragging the poor corrolla which peaked out at 195km/h. All rgiht soo much for the trying out the cars. We reached a place where it was eagle rock still quite a long drive before reaching the 12huge rocks. And it started drizzling dumpening the spirit of the trip. However setting foot at the gallery where there was a path way to link you to the apostles the weather cleared. Wind was howling the shore like nobody's business man it was cold. But i was well prepareed so it  didn't turn out that bad for me. :D

After spending some time at the highlight of the day where we viewed the rocks we made our way back to melbourne. Was a couple of hours drive back. I would say much of the day was spent it on driving. had dinner at chinatown was worn out after the day of hard driving wiht utmost attention to the road with fear of another koala trying to do another spectacular move. So much so for the first day.

 

30/06/07 Day 2:

Embark on the journey to philip island to see the penguims coming back to shore to lay eggs and mate. Which the island pretty early but the penguim parade only starts at 1700hrs. Had to roam the place went to the vietnamese war museum interestigly at philip island. Learnt some facts about it and nearly dozed off during the video presentation of events which happened in the past. THen to the penguim parade. Cost me 17bucks to watch the penguim come to shore and the tempreature was freezing as the wind was howling once again bringing the temperature lower. the penguims were cute and small sized like tiny babies not like those u've seen in HAPPY FEET so huge. They walk in groups and they seem pretty clumpsy. People out there if you are going to philip island pls do not hesistate to purchase the 20bucks ticket which gives you a more excellent view of the penguim. The 17bucks ticket was a total crap and you need to have a binoculars in order for you to see them clearly and it was dark at the 17bucks arena. That sums up day 2.

 

Would update it when asap alot of things to cover. Hang on yea. :P
