Tasmania, Australia




Last stop was Tasmania, about a 2hr flight from Sydney. Main purpose here was to see my mom and Tasmania, IS the most beautiful place I have ever been to so far. But the quietest. It's really mostly countryside all the way. Really beautiful.. AND COLD.



Meet Marley, brown Labrador that kept me company in this quiet town most of the time. Really adorable! At the top of the hill, behind my mom's house.



More or less how the houses or rather farms here look. A real countryside.


Something about Tasmania and Rainbows. There were rainbows everywhere.


Took this cute little blue Honda to zoom around and explore the area.




More pictures of Marley. I really do miss him :( One of my favourite things to do there was to take him for walks when i'm bored at home. So at the back of my mom's house, there's a big hill that just goes all the way up. And I would walk Marley up there most of the time, idk how to describe how amazing it is up there, but the first time I walked up the hill I just caught myself smiling, the feeling is that amazing.


Halfway up the hill, there a little pond. Marley would just jump right into it.


Taking a ferry that brings us to Bruny Island.  


Not a very nice picture here, weather wasn't too good. But this was one of the main sights.



Little sheeps just roamed around this quiet little house.





Weather was really crazy. There can be sunshine for 5mins, and the next thing you know it's all dark and wet. I decided to wait in the car for the weather to settle. It was so windy the car started swaying and shaking. Temperature really started to drop too, it went to about 5 degrees in the middle of the day and the wind was crazy.


See? All bright and sunny. This was after 15mins of waiting in the car. Crazy weather. Anyway, Cape Bruny Lighthouse.












This is how the ferry looked like. Quite a cruise.


Mt. Wellington. About an hour drive from where I stayed. The only place that is cold enough to have snow and I was lucky to be up there at the right time, it snowed pretty heavily! Nice experience.


Crazy weather up here too, 5mins heavy snow, can't see a thing. 5mins later, this.







He did a good job bringing me all the way up here.




Windy 1hr drive home. G'bye.

Australia. Gold Coast & Sydney

Location: Gold Coast & Sydney

Hi blogger. We meet again.

This post is about my Australia trip 2 months back during my semester break. Started off In Gold Coast, short flight to Sydney and finally to Tasmania. I don't really wanna talk much about this trip cause of some reasons.. But i'll just go through the photos briefly. Starting from surfer's paradise beach.












This little boy just stood there when I asked to take a picture of him. He did enjoy the attention and a small crowd started taking pictures too! His parents had a good laugh.





The feeling of walking on the beach was really amazing. The song "little surfer girl" by the Beach boys, would not stop playing in my head. The weather was a little chilly, but the sun kept me nice and warm.


Went up to Mount Tamborine, they got really interesting and pretty shops to see.




Sydney! Really nothing much to do here, It got kind of boring actually but I was surprised they had nice old architectures. 





For some reason the first thing I thought of when I saw the opera house was finding nemo. 



Halfway thru Sydey trip, we popped by a private owned Zoo, Featherdale Wildlife Park. Not the best zoo but it's nice a quiet and you can fluff them animals.


There was a petting area! And my inner 6yr old secretly loved it...


Nice picture of a goat peeing if you can just squint your eyes.


I have a thing for round fluffy things, like a sheep's butt.



Was taking picture of roosters when this little girl and her sister started dancing infront of me. She realised I got a camera and jumped right in.


 WOMBAT. Another round fluffy thing, my favourite animal. Don't ask me why it's my favourite, it's just round, fluffy and fiesty.


Koala. How can you not take a picture of a koala in Australia.


ROUND AND FLUFFY butt.


This is the Blue Mountains. And it was really blue. Something to do with the particles in the air and the sunlight that shines into it. Anyway, the view literally took my breath away, reminded me of the time I went to the Grand Canyon which also blew my mind. Just that blue mountains was half  that awesome.




Took a picture of this cute little dog I spot at the upper tier


And Guess what! I bumped into him and his owner on the way down hahaha. Such a lovely dog, the owners were really nice and told me to hold him this way. So it just sat there and I took a picture with him. Such a cutie.


With a inner 6yr old, comes with an inner bad ass. As you can see, standing by the cliff, yep, bad ass.


Finally time to head back. 


Walking back to the train station when I bumped into this cat peeping out of the gate.


The moment I squat down to call it over, it just ran towards me. Most approachable kitty award. Second one just popped out of nowhere. I can tell you, they really wanted to be petted.



Bye kitties.
