Back from the easter break trip!
Actually been back since thursday, thing was just came back, the next day straight away mood-big-turnover back to working mood. 3 assignments due + 1 test held on monday!!!
Luckily my groupmates are smart enough, still able to finish all up within 3 days! Hehe thanks for the efforts made.
Alright back to updates.
Never thought of driving in Australia. First thought of just join Monash sport center's day trips to grampians and great ocean road, which cost $95 each. Somehow, ended up organising a self-drive trip to both of those places. 3 days 2 nights trip, including meals, accomodation, transport and fuel, cost us nearly $200.
13 of us. 3 four-wheel cars. 10 drivers. drove about thousand kilometres. the very first time big gang of chemical engineering students (plus 2 mechanical students) hang out together for trip after 2 years studying together in sunway, i suppose.
The one who started the journey for our car,
Ms Hui Hui! don under estimate her. she can handle a big car steadily though she is small in size.
The other occupants of the car would be, those ji zha possssssssssssss
The FOOs, bao and sia
Sia and PekSee.
and of course me!
We are the second car in the line, the last car consists of
SeanL, cathie, weiyun and chyi.
The oddest one, dunno why they got a toyota Rav4 instead of Nissan Xtrail that we both got, unfair!!!! hehe.
jiahan, keeloong, cheeyang and kennethO.
Along the highway. Western highway i think. Toll-free highway.
If you look carefully, u can see white dots, those are sheeps.
jam on the highway at the opposite side.
After 3/4 hours car drive, we reached our
very First Stop,
THE GRAMPIANS NATIONAL PARK!Rushed to
Reed Lookout, a balcony to watch fantastic sunset!
clear blue sky with few cloud beds.
That is the legendary balcony.

We had night walk on the first night.. Unfortunately, the animals seemed not ready to meet us yet. We hardly saw any animals. We learnt how to see star scopes from the guide. The blinking stars in grampians, super duper Charming!!!! you can see southern cross and saggitarius clearly at night.
Second day!
famous
Mckenzie's Fall
finally got a spot to take nice picture. u cant imagine how dangerous it was to take this.
Then
Beehive Fall.The fall dried. sad.
Climbed to the top to crave our name on the wall.
We actually climbed halfway of that moutain to crave our names there.
That was our car for this journey. Nissan Xtrail. nice car.
Then,
Hollow Moutain.
Rock climbing. hehehe.
Is it a kangaroo or wallaby? I still cant differentiate it.
While driving around grampians, kangaroos, wallabies, rabbits could possibly hop hop hop in front of your car. You even have to break to let them cross the road. So SAFARIIIIIIII.
The place where we stayed for 2 nights. The cabin.
the Beds.
Us at Mckenzie's Fall. Claps for them who able to climb up the big rock!
Third Day,
Second stop,
The GREAT OCEAN ROAD!
twelve Apostles. as people say, if you never been here before, you cant consider as been to australia before.
hmmm... einstein they say, with abit more of greyish white on the hair. From my hair pattern, guess you can predict how strong the wind was on that day.
Few of the Apostles. left only 7 to 8 Apostles only arrrrrrrrr. Must go before you cant see them anymore!
Us at
Bay of Islands. One of the highlight along great ocean road.
FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!! love the natures alot!!!!! how i wish the beach just beside my house. how i wish the stars just on top of my bed. how i wish the kangaroo will be my pet. I want them allllll.
had fine italian dinner at lygon street in the city. when i got back to the car, I saw something stick on the windscreen.
