Another Trip Another Adventure

It's been nearly 2 months since my last trip to Tasmania and now I'm itching for another adventure. My breakaway/end of uni life trip will commence next week and I could hardly wait for it. Apart from the trip, something unexpected happen last night (Saturday night), I've been told by Bec that I've passed my cook test. To tell you the truth, I think I really didn't deserve to pass. I'm still not good or lousy at it especially when there's heap of order and I tend to lost my composure during that time. But I should be thankful to them for entrusting me and now it will become harder for me to quit (the thought of quitting has been running in my mind for the last couple of days - and now I need to postpone it for a while). Alright, I'll give it another 2 more months and hopefully I can endure it.

Hobart Airport. On my way back from Tasmania.


Reminisce of the old times. I used to study aviation back then.


Men at work. Come rain or shine, the jobs have to be done.


As always, window's seat is a must.


Serenity.


Looks like toys from above.


Nearly there.


Now I'm planning for a trip somewhere in the northern part of Australia.
Just wait fot the updates.

P/s The house is in a mess. Need to clear those unwanted stuff.

I Can't Get Over It

Yeah, you heard it right. My foots are aching to play snowboard again.


Riding the ski lift, feeling the cold breeze passing my face, viewing the crowds from above, I missed those moments.


Not forgetting, chatting with fellow passenger asking from tips (to kill our time while riding the ski lift).


Nice weather and lots of peoples. Really colourful.


As far as the eyes can see.


Learning how to snowboard from afar. I didn't enroll for that class so while capturing pictures, I couldn't help but to eavesdrop.


Thick snow compared than last time.


Nearly time to go home.


As much as I love snowboarding, it is actually an expensive sport to play.

P/s My internet connection got problem now.

I'm Improving, I think So.

Mount Buller. This time around, it's not snowing.


My all time favourite winter activity, snowboarding.


Nothing beats learning hands on compared than learning how to snowboard through the internet.

P/s Better than last winter. Now I know how to properly stop and descending steep slop. Yayyy...

The Great Escape - Phillip Island

The journey to Phillip Island is something that I'll definitely remember for the rest of my life. I've been riding for quite some time now and nothing prepared me for this... The wind...
I've overlooked on that particular thing. Despite the sun shine brightly on that faithful day, the wind seems to be not that friendly. I've numerously been thrown away by it.


No wonder that I did not see any other rider besides me.


As usual, the first stop should be the Information Centre.


The sands of time.


What with the foam???


Windy day.


I can see a complete rainbow from here. Too bad I couldn't fully capture it on my camera.


The earth, the sea, the sky...


We can get really nice view from that benches.


As usual, just me & my bike.


Breathtaking view.


Speechless.


Home of the seals.


Fierce wind and rough sea.


The day the sea turns white...


Another rainbow.


Izzy & The Chocolate Factory.


The bridge that connect between Phillip Island and the mainland.

P/s Nearly 4 hours of riding and that for one way only. During my way back, it rains...
Today??? I went to Werribee. Great place indeed.

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...
