Road Trip – Port Stephen (Part 1)

 

We were suppose to visit the “3 sisters” before we head for Port Stephen.. But.. but… but.. it rained in the morning and it was freaking misty.. And all we could see was droplets of rain on our windscreen and fogs around us… Feeling pathetic and sad (for me cause I didn’t get to see the 3 sisters), we headed down to Port Stephen through Hunter Valley.

 

Hunter Valley was… .. err.. BORING~ …. Seriously.. they got nothing much there.. except nice pizzas from Eagles Boys~!! Anyone who are travelling there should try.. We even printed discount coupons for the pizza.. Hahaha… well prepared.

 

The Hunter Valley Chocolate Company

 

 

 
Nothing interesting inside. I feel the Margaret River Chocolate Factory in perth is so much better. Miss that place.

 

So after a few hours.. we reached Port Stephen -

We reach quite late and didn’t manage to do much that day. Just checked in and relax. The room was cosy, has a fridge and 6 beds. Nothing else. Not even a lock to lock up the room. YES, a sliding door without lock.

 

The owner told us that so far nothing was stolen before and told us not to worry.. haha.. Its a little hard for us to accept considering where we come from.. But.. everything went fine.. =)

A few shots taken on the first night.. in the room

 
Kok Ngee enjoying the wine we bought.

 

 
Guo Dong reading about some young gals fighting in school..

 

 
Mahader.. in deep thoughts~

 

One Mile Beach

 

Woke up early in the morning and headed to one mile beach for sunrise. Greeted by many of the locals on the way there.. Nice place with lots of nice people there. One locals saw us with our cameras and told us that there are some wild koalas around .. although we cant find any despite our effort.. It was a nice feeling to have such nice people around. If only Singaporeans are like this…

 
A local taking a stroll in the morning

 

 
Paw prints.. reminded me of my dog.. I hope I can bring here to such place one day..

 

 
Snapping around

 

 
The sun is hidden behind the clouds.. anyway.. the sea breeze was nice.

 

Jump Shot~!

 
Fast reflexes.. Jumping before everyone else.

 

 
One more try.. this time it was better

 

 
With a change of position.. haha.. It was so fun taking jump shots. yeah.. 25 years old kids jumping.. oh well.. who cares.

 

So after some jumping.. we went back to our photo taking session..

 
Lend my tripod to Guodong.. so I wandered off with my camera.

 
I like this shot..

 
Sun rays.

 

 
DArling~

 

 
Surfers

 

 
One end of the beach

 

 
The rays are peeping out.. Nice..

 

 
Tides

 

 
I love the reflection on the receding water

 

 
Seems like the seagull can see its reflection too

 

 
I wondered off a little too far.. haha.. they were shouting for me to go back to where they are for a group shot.

 

 
Yeap .. We LOVE AuStRAliA~!

Road Trip – Blue Mountains (part 2)

After lots of walking.. We found our second cliff~!!! haha…

So.. it’s photo taking time again.. started off with Miss Goh and Mr Tan

 
Kokngee and Peiyun

 
KokNgee love the danger that these cliffs were giving him. Enjoying himself with all these shot. Doing something he love most.. POSING. He didn’t want to give others a chance actually cause he love getting his photos taken by us. (eh.. I added the last part myself)

 

 
Next up is Yenling.

Being extremely scare of height.. she took awhile to consider this cliff as “safe” to take photos. =)

 

 
Mahader got into the mood of exercising BY the cliff with yenling looking on at the edge. Woohoo..

 

 
Yenling and me…  I felt like my shoes are going to drop off anytime.

Dong and Kok with more dangerous shots.. haha..

 

 
Mahader and Dong with the nice view.

 

A pano shot of scenery seen at the cliff. Hope you like it.

After the cliffs shots, we had enough and decided to head back to our cars. Realised that is was quite a long way back. Lots and lots of steps alone the way..

Steps on the way back.

Nice sky..

 

We headed for Jenolan Caves which is more than 1 hour drive away.

    
We stopped along the way to look at cows… haha.. yes.. COWssssssss.

 

 

 
Posey shot while looking at cows.. =)

JENOLAN CAVES

  
The 2 Tans and Miss Goh went for a 1300 steps cave walk. So while waiting for them, we went for a stroll around the cave..

JENOLAN CAVE – Blue Lake (or something like that)

Its blue due to minerals present in the water.

 

 

 

 

 
A rotting tree and a stream along the way.

 
Some plants that look like what I have in my fish tanks.
