finally i have a little time to make a proper entry today.. yup.. just came back from Australia 2 days ago.. reached Singapore on 28/12 night..
well.. we left Singapore on the 23rd night.. the flight there was more than terrible.. the worst flight i ever had.. 9pm flight, then had dinner on board at 11pm.. when i told i can rest well for a couple of hours, we encounter turbulence for almost an hour plus.. after turbulence, it is breakfast time.. around 2am.. at last, we touched down at 4am Singapore time and it was already 6am in Brisbane.. so without sleep, we had to continue our journey.. (u can see from the photos.. totally no energy sia...)
took a one hour car ride to Sunshine Coast.. the first place we visit early in the morning is the world famous zoo, the Australia Zoo.. as expected.. u get to see lotsa Steve Irwin's photos and his tributes.. yup.. quite a normal zoo with similar concept as Singapore Zoological Garden.. they emphasized alot on protection of wildlife..
then on the way back to Brisbane for a ferry to Tangalooma.. we visited Superbee.. nth interesting there.. almost dying due to lack of sleep.. tired and weak.. bee farm is totally boring to me.. then lunch there sux too.. then we went to another place of interest, The Ettamogah Pub.. the unique design there is definitely a great place to chill out with frens and the scenery there was wonderful.. haha.. although it was along the expressway.. haha..
we reached the ferry terminal around 4pm(Aust time).. took a bumpy one hour ferry to Tangalooma island.. it is a sand island.. i had the best experience there.. haha.. get to feed wild dolphins at night.. then sleep............. the next morning we went for sand boarding.. of cos the 4WD ride around the island.. haha.. scenery there.. splendid!!! then we take ferry back to Brisbane in the evening.. this time we head towards Gold Coast.. south of Brisbane..
by the time we reached Gold Coast, it was already night time.. we had dinner in a chinese restaurant.. then sleep...............
the next morning.. we spent a full day in Dreamworld.. but damn unlucky.. it was raining.. over there it wasnt suppose to rain!! Gold Coast in Queensland has another name called Sunshine State.. the reason for it is because it only rain for 60 days average per year! why so unlucky!! missed most of the roller coaster rides.. ok.. i admit.. i dun dare to go for those extreme rides ALONE.. then after dinner.. shopping.. then we went back to the hotel to sleep.........
next morning again.. haha! spent another full day in Warner Bros. Movie World.. again.. it was raining!! all the movie characters are hiding from the rain.. there was only 1 roadshow tt day instead of 2.. sianz.. but overall i find Movie World more interesting than Dreamworld.. haha.. i get to see more stuff.. buy more stuffs and experience more stuffs.. hee.. so after dinner.. shopping.. sleep..........
the last day was rather rush for us.. wake up rather early to go to the beach.. unfortunately.. we cant catch the sunrise.. sunrise is around 4am.. (Singapore 2am!) then we had a little shopping in Gold Coast warehouse.. bought myself lotsa Ripcurl stuff.. haha!! then had to rush to Brisbane airport for our flight.. it was an afternoon flight.. 8 hours back.. on of the best flight i ever had.. slight turbulence.. good service and good pilot.. haha.. watched 4 movies on board and by the time we reached Singapore.. it was already night time..
alright.. tts the end of my Australia Trip review.. haha.. enjoyed myself even though i missed out Christmas AGAIN this year.. and luckily i din go Taiwan this time round like i always do during Christmas.. phew....
