Grampians!!!

8 of us went to Grampians on the 1st and 2nd day of December. Though it's the start of summer, it's still cold =.= We spent 2 days and 1 night there. Grampians is about 4 hours drive from Melbourne and we went in 2 cars - Daniel's Honda Civic and a rented Nissan Tiida. The 2 guys (Daniel and Ryan) in our group were our drivers for the 2 days...thanks guys =)

一路上在车上看到的情景:





From very GREEN





to yellow-brown





and of course mountains!



One of the lookouts we went



Saw sunset on the 1st day




We went to Southern Grampians on the 1st day and Northern Grampians (main part of the trip) on the 2nd day. Stayed a night at Parkgate Resort. Planned to have BBQ for dinner but we reached the resort late after waiting for sunset (8.20pm!!!), everyone was starving and cold (hypoglycaemic & hypothermia! and also dehydrated), and there were insects around the BBQ area, so we ended up frying/grilling the meat that we bought...yes, MEAT! We didn't buy any vegie at all! Lamb cutlets, lamb sausages with herbs, kangaroo sausages (tasted yucky to me), kangaroo meat (this tasted yummy!), chicken wings and drumlets, bacon, salami sticks (cute), hotdogs...we were carnivore for the night =P So hungry that I didn't even bother to take pictures of the food >.<


Guess what we had for breakfast the next day? ....Indomee!! First time eating it this semester, hehe. Checked out of the resort and we moved on our journey around Northern Grampians.


2nd day





Yay high up!






Highlight of the day: McKenzie Falls!!



I took about 400++ photos in total, am lazy to choose pictures so I just uploaded these few on my blog =)
[updated: Nooi Hoay, Ryan, Yun Ying and I really had '文学修养'...we listened to classical music (radio) in the car during our journey...hahaha! And we saw many animals too....emu, kangaroo, sheep, cows, birds, ants, flies, spiders, imaginary lion...=P]
