Melbourne reloaded

Alright i know this is like 4 months outdated.. but i promised to do this and i want to do this, if not for others. Feels good looking back on this. EnjoY!!! just a teeny weeny portion i took out of the 1300+ pictures taken over the 6 days. TOTALLY RANDOMIZED!!!!!!!!!
Had a great opportunity to visit Allan's friend in Melbourne who kindly showed us around and drove us to strawberry farm!! Thanks bobo! Took pictures of his house and cars but dont think it's nice to display so here' a pic of his neighbourhood. ISnt it nice??!!!! i love it. I love the suburbs. His sister was just jogging around the lake when we were snapping. Sigh, feel like a barbaric goon who hasn seen the suburbs while people here are just going about their daily life style.. like jogging.. So nice!!! On the right of the picture, is a nice lake with DUCKS!! when did u ever see ducks in like Singapore lakes???? Tell me.

Summer Beach house? Families put their boating stuffs, water sports gear, deck chairs in these little hut. Cute. Oh, i went to the beach. Bo bought us there after the visit to the strawberry farm.

The strawberry i picked!!!!!! Not washed in water yet... NICE RIGHT? Super yummy delicious.. maybe hooey should go pick strawberry for a living. this packet cost AUD $6.../half kg i think.

Me and my strawberry haul! Behind me.. the strawberry farm! i was expecting to see a sea or red! ha ha, so friends please note: strawberry farms looks normal and green... No NO sea of red flowers or berry sticking out.

Right before i picked them.

Saw this just outside Fitzroy's Garden on our way to Captain Cook's Cottage (CCC).
Captain Cook's Cottage!!! ERh... WHo's That??? Behind me is the ONLY 18th Century Cottage left in Melbourne.... WAHHHHHHHHHH


Built in England in 1755, it was transported and reassembled in Melbourne in 1934.

Last Activity done in 2006: Playing Dai Dee.

Shrine of Remembrance

HOTEL WINDSOR==One of the most posh hotels in Melbourne. Or so i think... Looks darn nice lah.


My shock at the number people counting down to 2007 together!!!!
The 12 apostles.. the thing that started my trip to Melbourne!!! now only 6 or 8 left. Do go while stock lasts.

Koala Bears on the tree tops. We alight from the bus so as to catch these sights... These bears are either shy or simply giving attitude.. always showing me their butt.

Caravan Camp Sites... Nice




Night Scene of Melbourne. Yarra River. On our way to Crown Casino on it's right... our hotel was across the bridge.. .on the left on the River.


Highlights of Melbourne

Sights on the 1st day of 2007. Fireworks at Flinders Street Railway Station


Sights on 2nd day of 2007.. from the helicopter. This is a sight that cost an additional AUD $80.

Mary had a little lamb. Guess there are more Marys in Melbourne.


That's me milking a cow... called either Sue, or Daisy, or some common dairy cow name. Idrank from the cup later!!!!! Kudos on that. Fear Factor #1. HA





Accomplished.
