P/s I'm late for work so just captions for today.

Werribee Mansion

I still remember playing a video games titled Resident Evil for PS1 13 years ago. During that time it was the scariest games I've ever played and I will only play it during the day while being accompanied by my brother. It sure was scary and gave me a lot of heart attack back then. But that was the good old days but something really brings back that fond memories when I visited the Werribee Mansion.

The infamous mansion, still regarded as the largest private residence in Victoria.


The mansion was built between 1874 and 1877 in the ideal of an English country estate, complete with blacksmith, laundrette, farmyard and manicured gardens.


Dining area.


This place really gives me the creeps.


Reminiscence of the haunted mansion from the first RE games.


I'm not sure why I'm wondering alone in this huge mansion.


Not really a good place to venture during the night.


The maid's bedroom.


Maybe this is the main room???


The only room with well lit lighting.


Another dining room.


Spooky...


Snooker anyone???


Really reminds of of RE especially that shotgun hanging on the wall.


The hallway with lots of doors.


That's it. Lucky no untoward incident happen.

P/s Preparing myself...

The Great Escape - Fort Nepean

As usual, when I'm bored and there is nothing particular in my mind to do, the best way to fill up my time is to travel. This time around, Point Nepean National Park is the set destination. Nearly 3 hours of 'non-stop riding' (actually I stopped for lunch in Frankston) and finally here I am again at the Mornington Peninsular. Actually, this is my second time here as well but during my first visit the park were already closed. At first I planned to stay here for just a short while but then I realised that the park was really 'huge' and it would be a waste of effort if I didn't fully explore the whole area. I end-up staying here for more than 4 hours and still wanting more. Time really flies fast and unfortunately I had to board the last 'Transporter'. Here, I learned a lot about the history of WWI & WWII and the significant of modern warfare.
Some interesting info about this place is that it is just opened to the public in 1988 after being out of bounds to most people for more than 100 years. It still has an air of mystery.

What does this mean???


The deserted bunker. As we can see, there is a ship entering Port Phillips Bay and this is the only route to enter or leave the bay.


Only the transporter is allowed. Wait till you see the 'Transporter'.


This fortress survived World War I and II.


Kind of creepy venturing inside this fortress alone. But it sure is fun.


Reminiscent of old time.


The Allies used this fortified fortress to defend against any invading Axis. This place used to have huge cannon/artillery.


"Hello..."


Restricted area. The only modern equipments that are still around.


Ruins from the Cattle Jetty, built in 1879.


En route...


I'm not lost...


Yeah right...


The so called 'The Transport'. Only this thing is allowed to go to Fort Nepean. Either by that thing or walk for more than 6 km. Bumpy ride indeed and the Park Ranger was very helpful.


'London Bridge'... An artist's expression.

P/s Hrmmm, something interesting happen today...

A year already

I've been to this lake before. Exactly a year ago.


Unfortunately during my last visit here, I doesn't got the opportunity to fully explore the place.


Serenity...


Tranquility...


Really good for the mind and soul.


Encountered with a friendly person here.

P/s The clock is ticking... tick tock, tick tock...

A Day at the Zoo

Melbourne Zoo... I always wanted to go there since the day I arrived but I do not know why I keep on postponing the trip until last Monday. Finally I'm there. Sometimes it is really convenient to use the public transport (need to carry the helmet if I went there by bike) but the downside is the cost (compared with using my bike). But hey, nothing is perfect right??? Something got to give.

Care to join???


To the kids besides me, this is not Aslan.


I think she's hungry.


I don't think she's asleep.


This bear is huge. Really huge.


Can't remember this bird's name.


Ugly duckling...


A Mandarin Duck, beautiful isn't it?


Up close and personal with an Emu.


I'm sleepy...


A Tree Kangaroo. Also sleeping. Yeah, it's winter, it's cold and I will also sleep if I got the chance.


Couldn't be bothered.


Got their attention.


Hanging by a moment.


A Lemur.


Nice hair.


Whatcalookingat .


In deep thought.


Thank you.

P/s Me??? Today??? Wondering around...
