Australia Day 1 Sat

Arrived in Melbourne. 1st meal Hungry Jack aka burger king. decent, taste better then singapore version.
My friend Lee was waiting for me at the airport as she arrived earlier and was going to Taz to meet her bf.Then Zen arrive to pick me up, We sat and chatted and waited for the time to pass till she left for Taz.
Next stop Chinatown. 2nd meal, Shanghai dumpling off Elizabeth st one of those small lanes, the xiao long bao was horrible very salty. I discovered most food here is salty. Cold.. wearing jacket with gloves.
I went sightseeing around there , taking photos of the churches and library here. Myers is big but nothing much to buy. Drove to St Kilda's beach and end up at western ringway. Check into a motel and went back to the city, Crown casino! Zen lost $50, i did not bet any. Took photos along yarra river and walked to Flinders St station. Had late dinner at Russell st Viet Pho Resturant.
Again too salty...

Australia Day 2 Sun

Breakfast, Random Petrol kiosk burger, oily and greasy.
Long day of driving along great ocean rd. It's a very long winding road at the side of cliffs by the sea. The view is very nice, you can see the ocean stretching from one end to the other. We stop at Lorne and went to eskine fall, very nice water fall , free and u can actually trek to the base of the falls. From Lorne we headed towards Apollo bay and all the way to Port Campbell. Met a very friendly man taking his pet baby goat out for a walk!We stop at many places to take photos. You can see flocks of birds flying together like in those National Geographic Show.. Goats , Lamb, Cows, wild peacocks, wallabys. alot of wildlife here and they seem to like to cross the roads.. ( i am a mountain tortise, 1st time out of S.E.A.)
