My SL Australia Study Visit : Day 1 - Melbourne (4 - 5th of June 2007)

Music: Arashi – TIME

The student Leader study visit to Australia was a valuable, fun and enjoyable experience for me.

It was my first visit to Australia and the flight to Melbourne was eight hours!

I sat with Yan Ting and Pei Yun on the plane.

Played Pokemon and watched Night in the Museum on the plane.

Heh heh : D

It was really fun. ~

Yan Ting and I didn't sleep at all on the plane.

We cannot get to sleep! (vampiers)

Hah hah : D

By the time we really felt like sleeping,

it's time for our breakfasts. (T_T)

When we reached,

my friends and I saw smoke coming out when we talked or breathe out.

We all felt very excited. Hah hah : D

After that,

we took a nine hours bus trip down to the legendary; the Twelve Apostles at Port Campbell Park.

During the bus trip at the country side of Melbourne,

I saw cables and the road is much wider compared to Singapore’s road.

There are also many wide grass fields and farm animals.

The houses there have chimneys and are mainly one or two stories high for each residence.There was one point in time,

when reaching near our destination; we are able to see a spectacular view of the wide ocean.

本当にきれいな～

It was extremely cold! 寒い!

I snapped a lot of breath-taking sights of the Twelve Apostles, rock formation and the coast on my camera.

Unfortunately,

after a while,

the weather started to pour and all of us had to head back quickly to the bus.

Then,

our bus driver drove us to Shipwreck Coast.

It is where a tragic incident occurred of Loch Ard, an English ship which was heading for shipwrecked at the due to thick mist in 1878. Only two out of fifty-four people on board the Loch Ard survived..

We had lunch at Port Campbell's fast food restaurant.

There were a few sea gulls outside the restaurant.

The weather was very cold until the raindrops on the grass had turned into ice!

After that, we checked in to Explorer’s Hotel in the city of and I was grouped up with Wardah.

We had Subway for dinner (Meatball!) and walked around the night streets of Melbourne.

Most of the shops were closed.（T_T）

One of the places that we went in was Hard Rock Café.

I could not get to sleep at all during the first night at Melbourne. (>_<)
