Philip Island Nature Parks

Phillip Island Nature Park is a conservation park located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia.
如果你有机会来到墨尔本，千万不要错过这个地方哦！

Located 1.5 hours drive south of Melbourne, it covers several separate areas over 1805 hectares. The parks include Pyramid Rock, Rhyll Inlet, Seal Rocks, and Cape Woolamai, with specific viewing and attraction areas that include The Nobbies Centre, the Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Centre, and the Churchill Island Heritage Farm.

The day tour costs around AUD100/pax, which you can book it thru any agency or hotel/hostel that you stay. But, I booked the tour thru the visitor centre. I always book the tours from the visitor center if the price is about the same but I was served by the bad services in quite several times in OZ. This spoilt my trip. Overall, I still enjoyed the trip anyway.
所以如果可以的话，自己租车开车去比较便宜， 也比较方便（不用受气，也不用匆匆忙忙一直被催促）。

After one hour driving, we reached the Koala Conservation Centre...


Wow, great posing of the Koala.
好可爱的树熊呢


Look, the koala daydreaming about his food?
这一只也是睡不醒，朦朦胧胧的样子，可爱极了。


one little, two little, three little kangaroo.....
当时的情况，你们都不了解，因为太多的袋鼠东奔西跑，好像在打仗般，根本来不及闪避，个个会冲着你来的。
其实它们为的就是我手上的食物啰！


He gave the super-trainning for the kangaroos to queue up properly for food.... LOL
神气的他，以为自己是个超级明星哦， 因为每个袋鼠都很听话，乖乖任他指挥。


Ooppss....the kangaroo know how to face the camera... smart!!

看着镜头也没用哪，没有食物给你的啦！


It was the WomBat nursery visiting.

看似个bb仔，喝饱了就睡觉啰。


Can you guess what is this?
Ya, it is a Tassie Devil, which keep running non stop until I were mad.

团团转，转的每个眼花花，看到都觉得很累，可怎么他都不累的呢？


Ostriches were having their discussion about how to escape from the jail?

它们好凶的样子，好像要咬人呢。

All along the way to the Philip Island, the specific viewing are not to miss too. Anyway, you may not have the enough time to take your photo because the tour guide will rush you to keep on going...


One of the famous surfing place along the way.

看看也想学呢，可是澳洲常常都发生被鲨鱼吃掉的事件，千万不要乱来哦。


The view from Cape Woolamai?

烈日当空，快要晕了的我，没空享受这番美景，只盼快点到达终点...

When we reached the Nobbies Centre (seals, dolphins, and shark viewing), it was about the tea time. I had my tea with chocalate cookies. Emh, it was so relaxing.


The Nobbies Centre is Australia’s newest marine attraction. Explore and discover the secrets of the incredible southern marine environment including seals, sharks and dolphins via interactive displays and cameras that allow you to zoom in and out on these marine creatures.


View from the Nobbies Centre

蓝蓝的天，深深地吸了一口又一口的空气，嗯，好舒服呢！


This area offers spectacular coastal scenery, viewing of the offshore seal colony at Seal Rocks and the chance to walk among nesting seabird colonies. It is a truly amazing natural experience!

海鸟还是白鸽，我自己真的懵醒醒，哈！


The view inside the Nobbies Centre
花钱的地方，绝对不是我的目标，但是却是个可以吹吹凉气的地方哦！

Before the dusk, we entered to the world famous Penguin Parade, Australia’s most popular natural wildlife attraction and winner of the Victorian Tourism Awards for Ecotourism.


Welcome to the Penguin Parade!! What I was holding? It is the floor mat for sitting on the beach while waiting for the Little Penguins coming ashore at dusk.
等待小朋友上岸的过程中，可以看到人山人海的情形，也可以享受大自然的风景，一方面稍微带冷的海风微微吹来，另一番滋味在心头。

Each night at sunset, the world’s smallest penguins, the Little Penguins, emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows. This is a truly memorable natural wildlife experience. Experience the wonder of Little Penguins coming ashore after a day’s fishing at sea. The elevated boardwalks and viewing stands allow you to enjoy all the ‘penguin action’ without disturbing them or their burrow homes.


你看了没，小心搞出“鹅”命哦！
The signboard is funny but it may happen also right?.... haha...

嗯，如果回顾这个一日游，最令人期待的应该是那些小企鹅吧！可能是他们走路可爱的模样？（而且有些冲上岸了又忍不住下水多玩一会儿），也可能因为他们一大群一大群成群结队的等完所有家庭成员一起上岸温馨的场面？又或是因为他们都很聪明？因为他们都知道自己的家（窝）在那里，一定不会走错，如果走错了还会走回出来再回到自己的家，场面很搞笑的。

但是，那个中午看到的袋鼠，也是超棒的！亲自喂食，还可以身体接触的哦（绝对不是关在笼子里，只能远远望去的那种哦）！

Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is a 273 km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool. It is one of Australia's great scenic coastline drives. If you are in Melbourne, please do not miss the Great Ocean Road tour.

Before entering the G.O.R., my sharing to you...

I was in a good tour here. What is good here is, a tour guide took us to the destination that we expected and that is just for all. For the services, emm, not bad but not the best. During my tour, we were picked up for the first stop. After few stops, the driver picked up a lady who is waiting at a corner of the junction. The driver asked the korean lady to get up into the van quickly, which the lady not enough time to ask the driver anything(is she get to the right van?) and no time for her to get her seat or even close the door of the van, the driver already continue driving to our journey. So, the lady was unstabil and fall down too. She was angry but she can't make any complaint at the moment because everything come too fast. And, the driver was just giving the excuse that the area is not allow to stop there. Also, just wonder why the visitor center there are not as friendly as what I experienced in NZ. They are trying to serve you fast and don't really brief you in details. Just for the example, I was told (after asking then only answered me) that there is a free entrance ticket if I take the tour package but when I ask for more details about what is the ticket and where is the place they did not explain more and just ask me to ask the tour guide during my tour if any question. But, after the tour we only knew that if we upgrade our tour then we will get more valueable package which I was unable to upgrade after made the deal. The free ticket is useless if we don't buy another ticket. So, for my advice, please ask for more details or more agency before making any deal.

Surfing is one of the popular activities in Australia. The shops are selling all the surfing stuffs too.


The first stop on the Great Scenic Coastal Road.

Honestly speaking, if you have the choice to choose, please visit the G.O.R urself by renting a car instead of taking a day tour if you wish to enjoy slowly because I had not enough time to take photo slowly due to the tour guide is rushing everyone to act fast. I think I just get down and then asked for getting back to the van within few mins (average) for every stop.

This is the signboard which everyone will pass by for the Gread Ocean Road



Cape Patton Lookout



A wild Koala with the little Koala is found. And, they are keep sleeping all the time.



The signboard is interesting.



Elephant Rock



The Blowhole

The sunset view of the Twelve Apostles but actually left Eleven Apostles now. Please aim a good position to take the good picture since there are a lot of tourists are waiting for the sunset.

Melbourne 墨尔本

The City of Melbourne is made up of the city centre and a number of inner-city suburbs. This is a really beautiful and unique city which all the road or shoplots are in boxes.

I like Melbourne!



The tram is free to take from any station if the CITY CIRCLE is showing on the tram.



You can hire a horse car there if you wish to experience the different feel :P

At the northern, top end of the city (in Victoria Street, between Queen and Peel Sts) is Melbourne's famous Queen Victoria Market, a carry-over from the Victorian times. This is a working market with meat, fish, bakery and delicatessen sections as well as scores of fruit and vegetable vendor's stalls and general merchandise. There are more than 1000 stalls, most of them set up outdoors under tin roofs with iron gables. The market has a separate meat hall and a delicatessen area renowned for Greek, Italian and Polish food.

Tuesday & Thursday: 6:00am - 2.00pm
Friday: 6.00am until 6.00pm
Saturday: 6.00am until 3.00pm

We had our great time to shop in the Queen Victoria Market. Its a clean and tidy market.

Warning: you might never want to go home.
