Cradle mountain, Sheffiled, Rainforest Walks.
We went there on the 27 October. We have so much fun! Wonderful...Let's checkout!
We were waiting at the Aurora Stadium in front of our university. Bus arrived. Taking us approximately 3 hours drive to reach there if not mistaken...hm..
We have Alex and James lead us throughout the whole journey..We saw wombat on our way..so cute..sorry..i dun hav any photo of it.

We reach Dove lake before we start bush walking, nice lake! Then we have to queue up prepare to walk into the rain forest..it's not tat difficult to walk but is slippery..then we reach a small waterfall ceates from a lake..I dunno hoe t describe, just look at the photo your own!!

Then, we have lunc at Wombat pool! continue walking...walk walk walk...
I dunno how long we have been walking..it's difficult but exciting! None of us give up! everybody reach the peak finally!

I do though of giving up..because some steps are too high..after long time walking I felt difficult to lift up my leg again...Luckily..I did not! The scenery up there is so beautiful and I think is worth it!! REally!!


Last but not least, Thanks to Alex and James! and all our friends here making this trip successful! Thank you.

Sheffield is a town we pass by on the way to Cradle mountain.
What is so special in this town? Hehehe...

This town is full with mural painting. The history of the town is express through all these mural. There is mural competition going on every year. Because of these mural painting, the town is like an outdoor gallery. amazing.. Unfortunately, the weather is cold...half way walking..freezing!!

Today is 8th of October!! ONe month from today is the day i will leave Launceston. Yes! So happy..finally I can go back to KL, to my family and friends...
However..the final submission is approaching..scary.....hopefully everything will goes smoothly and I can go home happily.. :p

Tasman sea is another place we went during our break..Is a sea between australia and New Zealand..nickname The Ditch, crossing the ditch means ging to New Zealand from Australia or vice versa.

Me and Cristy took bus down to Hobart in the morning. Coz going from Hobart is nearer compare to Launceston. We look for travel information counter at the city. One thing good here is that the travel info centre is well equip with all the information you need for travelling. We booked the ticket to Tasman sea there too..This trip cost us aud165! em....expensive???maybe..
After that, we have our lunch at Salamanca Market, the saturday market at Hobart..lots of
things they sell, lot of foods???

The next morning, we prepare ourselves!!we stay in backpackers hostel, they have their designate kitchen where anybody who stay in can cook themselve..see!!!You know this is the first time my bag full with snack!!! coz i scared i will get seasick...We use to stay in the hotel everytime v travel..u guys! lets try this out next time! is definately a different
experience for u..i know my sis sure dun like it coz everybody need to share bathroom and even share bedroom..rite?no doubt..this is the cheapest way to travel here!!I have to use to it if i want to travel more often or else..every time look for hotel, i will be bankrupt!!!

So, in our trip, we have 2 pairs of uncle auntie from London, then 1 auntie from Switzerland, 3 from China and both of us from Malaysia and Singapore! Total 10 of us. Isn't it a well blend of ppl? We gather at the info centre 8 morning. Then there is a mini van comes and pick us up to the port, which takes around 1.5 hour there! The place called Port Arthur.

Port Arthur is a place of prison last time during the British settlement..
The famous tour in Port Arthur is the ghost tour at night!!!scary..i dunwan to go anyway..some of my fren been there..

Next, we stopped by a cafe to have our morning tea, is included in the package. The breakfast is delicious..The cafe with the purple wall..looks cozy isn't it? THen the driver changed his mini van to big bus!see! coz he is picking up more ppl from other places while we havin our morning tea. So now..finally we are heading to the port!!!!! The boat is waiting!!

This boat is able to carry 42 ppl. During the whole trip, we see lots of weird rocks, island, water falls, blowholes and many many other..oh yah..the tallest cliff in southern hemisphere at Cape Pillar! some of these rock or cliff can goes to 8m dep to under the seabed..shock!!!u just dun drop into the sea..ORELSE u will never float up again..no kidding..!!

We see different flying species..Aibatrosses!!u know??It can fly very low almost to the surface of the sea..i dunno y she is not afraid of the sea wave coz the sea wave is so high..maybe tat day we travel was windy..Is deep blue sea here..really deep colour..the wave looks like jelly moving..dun try to put yr hand to it..u will not know wat is beneath it..we saw seal on the rock..is not in the zoo ok??Do u know all the seal here are male, the female will stay at Victoria..they can swim weeks n weeks without landing..good swimmer rite? Everything we see was so amazing and feel relief when the wind just blow on yr face..hm..nice! adventurous too ! coz the boat just bang bang the sea wave, all u need to do is hold tight to the boat, make sure yr body balance is there..for me, i definitely standing n capture more more photos..is the first experience and might be the last chance as well coz we will not go to Tasman sea again next time..and definitely no seasick for me!!hehe...i live healthy here..

One thing we really dun hav the luck to see was the migrating whales and dolphins..according to the captain, he said although he use to travel lot on sea, seeing whales is so difficult...once he saw shark hunting seal!!horrible..but no doubt this is nature..

My poor friend Cristy was so ill in the boat, she got sea sick n make her vomit throughout our whole trip on the sea,...poor thing..is my fault to ask her along...coz I suggested this trip!!hahaha...After our boat tour on Tasman sea, we went for lunch on top of the hill..look at the photo...nice cafeteria rite?
Lunch is included in the tour too..see my lunch meal..look nice? taste nice as well..haha..
I thought the rainbow I see when went to Mt Everest basecamp (the one cross between t2 mountain??) was the huge one..but...here i see even larger..the rainbow likes no boundary..hm..amazing..and i think it is the largest i see now, the rainbow out from the sea surface...BUT....the one i see at Mt Wellington (im went to Mt Wellington the next day after this Tasman sea tour) one even more amazing!the rainbow out from the forest..walao....during this few trips i always see rainbow!!

After our meal, we went to Remarkable cave..a cave that collapses and create a nice view to the sea..show u guys photo later la...no space anymore!
This remarkable cave tour is not suppose in our tour but the driver said is ok, just bring us there..haha...FOC!!yeh..so, now is aud165 expensive?? i dunno??

It is a good experience for me..n i feel so excited to share this with all of you..i was so enjoy, so happy when i was travelling with Cristy but i feel homesick too
when im not travelling..coz there is no place to hang out here when the school start..

The next one, i would like to share with you guys is Mt Wellington..it's snowing when we went up there. Tomorrow school starts and is spring now!!
What is awaiting me to discover is the Tulip farm on October! Wonderful!!!you want to come along??? I'm looking forward antartica trip as well...let's see is there any chance..

Cheers!

Mt Wellington is the highest mountain in Hobart,at the bottom of this mountain there is a brewery factory. Usually will be snowing during winter...now is the beginning of spring..it is so lucky that when we went up the mountain there is snow...according to the tour guide, they called those harden snow, fish snow and those soft snow, they called it fresh snow..

There is another mountain for skiing in Launceston which is just 1 hour drive from my place here..but i miss out that coz when my fren went that time i was busy moving into my new house and i hav no time...I hav to wait till next year winter time...maybe can go with Delon!

The next morning after our Tasman sea tour , we went up to Mt Wellington, a name named after a Dutch..hm..if im not mistaken..

Hobart is the second oldest city in Australia, the oldest one is Sdynney which is 16 yrs
ahead! Wow..

So, the lunch was not very good for me. This restaurant called Little Italy. they serve spicy food..OMG...it is so hot!!!!!they have a degree of spicy..something likes Nando...here they serve from 0 - not hot at all to 10 - extremely hot..some ppl even challenge this shop by ordering
#15 hot..i think u will need to send to the hospital if u cant take it...so, i tried #2..i thought very mild only..cheh..nando peri peri almost same la...

waloao...i only eat 3 to 4 spoon..i stopped..then da bao..pai seh..Cristy ate #5 o...Singaporean can eat spicy than Malaysian..maybe i really cant take spicy food????

See...on top of mt wellington there is only a viewing deck and a block of toilet..tat's it...disappointing..i though it will be something like Hong Kong, the peak at least there is cafe, gallery and more...here got nothing..n the wind was so strong..i hardly walk..the wind blow me to the fence when im walking...i do not dare to walk close to the edge of the mountain although there is fence there..coz i scared i just fell down n bye bye.. u guys will never see me again...

In this trip there is only me and Cristy..nobody else, the trip still run..funny!!!??
