201009 Brisbane and Gold Coast

When you are in Brisbane, do drop by Moo Moo The Wine Bar and Grill Restaurant. Moo Moo serves Australian cuisine specialising in premium export quality beef. Besides steak, Moo Moo also serves oyster, fish, duck, chicken, pork and mutton. I strongly recommend the pork belly. It's yummylicious! Also check out their wide selection of wine!

I am not a fan of thrill rides hence we only visited Movie World.

201009 Melbourne

I miss having breakfast at Queen Victoria Market and watching the penguins emerging from the sea. We have to wait until the night falls. It was freezing C.O.L.D. but when the little penguins started appearing, I knew it was all worth it! This is their nightly ritual on Phillip Island. To protect the penguins, photography is strictly prohibited. Our itinerary for the second day in Melbourne - Churchill Island, Koala Conservation Centre and Phillip Island (penguin parade - Victoria's favourite attraction!)
On the third day, we visited Great Ocean Road and Port Campbell National Park where we marvelled at the stone pillars of the Twelve Apostles. It was too cold to focus so we ended up doing quick snaps instead.

201009 Tasmania

Finally! I finished uploading the pictures that I took in Tasmania last Sept. I like Tasmania; the lifestyle is very laid back. It's no wonder the Australian folks told us that Tasmania is the place that they will choose for retirement!

Voyage de la Vie

Have you watched it? This had been premiering since Jun 2010 but I only watched it last week. I enjoyed the show very much - love the costume, love the music and love the death-defying performance! I had to admit that I was slightly taken aback when the performers started appearing from behind us. Yeah! From BEHIND!! Some children and even adults had a fright! Still, I must say this show is good!!

Voyage de la Vie, "Journey of Life" is a 90 minute fast pace fantasy show that tells the story of a young man on an adventure to discover his identity. It is told through energetic dance, athletic circus acts, and catchy songs.

My favourite character/performer - Martti Peltonen, the crossbow artist!

He's cool, isn't it?


As usual, no photography and videography are allowed in the theatre, hence I have no photos to share. Might as well just sit back and enjoy the show! In fact we had rather good views - 5th row from the stage.

Verdict : 4 popcorns (out of 5)

Sunday randoms

Today, I found....

1) .... 5 covers lens filters (besides the 77mm Polarizer and UV filter, where had the rest gone to?)


2) and that I MAY have to 'upgrade' my dry box. That little space is for my 500D body and 24-105mm lens.
