G'mate! I cant't believe that I woke up at 6.30am today, that is 4.30am in Malaysia...and it was bright as day. In Malaysia,it is still dark pitch! Unbelieveble! I slept around mitnite the previous nite but manage to get up so early b'cos we goingto the Great ocean Road!! Maybe I'm excited and can't sleep well and it also maybe I was sleeping with my mum as well. haha!
It was a long journey, it took us about 6 hrs to reach the 12 Apostle and there are only 8 of them that is still standingas the other 4 was gone with the erosion... ha! We had out breakfast in Mc D which only serve pancakes and bacon, cheeseburger..they don't even have Big Breakfast! It was about 10.30 then...before that we detour to Weeribee Open Zoo.When we reach there is was like around 9.30am and the tour around the Zoo was 10.30am. Nah...decided not to wait sowe continue out journey to the 12 Apostle.
My uncle took the long journey where there are fantastic view of ocean and hills. On the hills there are farm animals such asthe sheeps, cows and horses grazing the grass. It was so green and fresh but once the wind blow, it might blew you off the groundthe air is so cold and piercing. We stop at one of the town for my uncle to take a nap before continue the journey, so we walk to the beachas it is near the park. There are some ppl surfing and the wave is very high as the current was going strong with the windblowing. The sand was so soft and light, while the sea water was clear, fresh and icy cold.brrr....
On the way we pass Anglesea, Appollo Bay and few towns before reaching the Apostle. It was a very long drive and alongthe way we see lotsa farms and a huge field of yellow flowers. It was the best view I ever seen and not to forget thehouses built on the hills. The grass is really green and pleasant to the eyes, it make you want to run around the hillsand enjoy the scenery. On the hill you may see the Antratica Ocean...hehe. Took some photos along the way....
It was about 2.30pm we reach the Apostle and the sky start to drizzle with the wind blowing so hard. My cap was blown away andluckily I manage to grabed it as it stuck on my hair...hahaha. It was so so so cold as the wind was so so so strong!Today, the whole Melbourne is windy and its tempreture was about 24 degree but it felt like below 10.It only took us half hr to see everything but us took almost half the day to reach there.
At about 7.30n we reach Boxhill for dinner, chinese dinner...the food is always good whenever I go out with my aunt and uncle.hehe!! We had all Aussie Chinese food...hahaha, not bad as, Hmmm...let me think, wht did we had...roasted duck, tau fu,weet and sour fish, pork, vegetable and fried sotong, o yeah...damn lot of food! I had ice-cream after that whilewaiting for my uncle make a second trio back to Boxhill. It is illegal to fetch too many ppl in the car...
