Melbourne, Australia Trip #day 4#

Day 4:
St Kilda – Luna Park
Mornington
Mornington Peninsula - The Enchanted Maze Garden
Mornington Peninsula - Murrays Lookout
Mornington Peninsula - Point Nepean

I have a long time never continue about my Melbourne trip

It's day 4 here
Too long never rewind for the trip
Let's wake up my mind

I remember due to the first three days, we had a rush trip
that's why we woke up early on our forth day trip
I have forgotten about the part we walked to BUDGET to get the rental car again
It's ok, just skip this
our forth day destination spotted!
Luna Park and Mornington!

I had made the photos in "X-Large" size
Due to the "Large" size images are not really nice (Too small to view)
Yet, this will make the loading become slow
For better view, can click on the pictures below.

Thai Restaurant (on the way to Luna Park)

The bus (different culture with M'sia, i was wondering why the advertisement blocked the windows)

The price of hand car wash = AUD$22.90 (convert to Ringgit Malaysia is around RM69, damn expensive)

Looked professional


We had reached at St. Kilda, the place where near the beach
We decided to park the car here
and walked to Luna Park

Our rented car



Compare to the picture below, is the picture below looked nicer? (because I was the photographer :P)








I think this is a souvenir shop

Holy "Sheet"? LOL

click to enlarge and zoom to check out the map


my mum loves the plants there




Finally, we got to Luna Park but it was closed.
They have rides for the family, hence disappointment from us.

Location: 18 Lower Esplanade, St Kilda VIC 3182, Australia


So, we decided to take some pictures for memory


Actually I planned to make a pose that was carrying the teeth, but EPIC failed. LOL

we looked so tiny

a vineyard restaurant


the display window
the shop's design

the street



I saw the truck again! (Transformer +_+) don't blame our narrow view, it's because M'sia doesn't have any truck like this


Finally, we were reaching at Mornington Peninsula!
Searching for the colorful "houses" ..
I think it's called "Boat Sheds/Bath Houses of Mills Beach, Mornington Peninsula"
not really sure about the time from this board to the houses
i think approximately took around 5 minutes
Welcome to Mornington!


Here we reached at the houses, at esplanade of the Mornington Park :D
I also think that (why "think" again? it's because I never mark down or remember the duration)
we took around 1 hour to get to Mornington Park (From Melbourne city centre)
I still remember, I had seen a place with a little sand hill
I had no time to take a look on it, due to we only passed by the "place"


I love the houses (simple yet special)



The seabirds? We fed them with small toast



We took our lunch there (picnic) and of course we never forget to clean the place before departed


the sailing boats

seem like emo-ing


my sister's sexy back :D

You see! My photography skill again (compare to the picture below)

Blur of me


Heading to Mornington Enchanted Maze Garden
Gosh! It located on a hill?
and the hill road is quite scary
and Gosh again! We reached at the maze garden at 2.40pm
we're late! We never know they closed so early
I think (again) they closed at 3.30pm
It's because I remember the staff there told us we only able to walk and play inside for half an hour
and actually normally the tourists could spend around 1-2 hours to finish the visit in maze garden
It's another disappointment for us (It's important to make a research before plan for the next destination :( sad)
So we took some pictures for memory again

Nice picture from me :( (compare to the picture below again)

See? It's a fuzzy me again

The cute table (looked yummy)



I bought one of these (the candy almost same like Sticky candy, it costs AUD$7.00, 170grams)






it looked fun! *sigh that we cannot get into it since only left half an hour



my mum likes to ask me to hide in between the plants =.=

testing only (that's why it's fuzzy)

testing 2 (never get ready)

real take!






Left the maze garden
On the way back, we saw the lookout point



Lookout point!

I told to my sister, "are the trees burned? why looked so dark and bald"


Left the look out point
Then my sister decided to look for any cliff there
It's because we missed out the 12 Apostles
On the way, we saw this information centre

we're looking for the information about the cliff
At first, we were paused and pondered for awhile
we hardly decided whether to walk to the cliff
We worried it's too late to get to there
we did not know the exact distance to travel to the cliff
But my sister desired to have a look
so we walked into the gate (we do not know the way that can entered by car, we saw some cars passed by)

We saw this signboard, and finally decided not to go, because we guessed 12KM will took around 45 minutes to one hour? =.=

Don't know why, we were excited to see the signboard and acted insane to take a picture with "them" :P

Welcome to Point Nepean National Park

don't blame on our silly again (M'sia has Elephant sign, monkey sign, rhino sign ... yet does not have Kangaroo sign)

We love the sign @@





So left Nepean National Park and circled the peninsula
we went to a nearer beach





There was evening
We're heading back to the city centre
As usual, used the Garmin GPS


the 7-eleven petrol station @@ the difference between petrol station in M'sia and Australia is Australia petrol station will show the rate for the petrol (Different petrol station has different rate) I don't know why

The key!

The time we back to the hotel was still early
so my sister and I decided to go to the cyber centre to get connection with M'sia friends
So we seek the nearest cyber centre
The cyber centre named MC Internet
The rules there: (with Chinese, for the China people there)


They're using the card to insert into the CPU in order to access to the internet (if you are leaving the place for awhile, you can take out the card from the CPU in order to prevent the amount (money) in the card decreases)


I remember my sister asked for the rule above
was due to she has forgotten something and left in the hotel room
so she got back to the hotel room
and returned to the cyber centre and continue for the online accessing



End of the forth day trip :)
