Phillip island
A couple more pics from the trip; taken at Phillip Island; it was great to be able to capture the sunset; and to share that precious moment with my baby...
Pics from Melbourne trip (October 06)
As promised, these are some of the pics taken whilst at Point Nepean National Park (tip of Mornington Peninsula)
The scenery there is just so captivating...just wished I could have a holiday home there (unfortunately, that's against the principle of conservation...darn)
It's just under two hours' drive from Melbourne...a very worthwhile place to visit...and the pictures speak for themselves...(couldn't help putting a photo of myself posing, hehe)

Wilson's Promontory
Now...a word of advice to ppl who might wanna go on walking trails...don't do it when the weather forecast reads 35 C !!!
Anyways, I had to learn it the hard way...but apart from that, it was a great experience; I'm going to go back there maybe around autumn or spring...
There are so many walking trails around this National Park, it tailors to anyone really; there were many ppl who'd organise for hiking trips around most of the coastal regions of it (for 5 days or more), but you could go there on a day trip for a couple of the walks.
The squeaky beach (the sand really squeaks under your shoes/feet!) trial only takes about 1.5 hours (return); but just given the weather condition that day, it really took a toll on me. But the views were well worth it...
I initially contemplated going up to Mount Oberon summit...but after lunch; with the sun bearing down directly on the parched land...we (housemate and I) retreated to the comfort of the car...
(the other thing I gotta do was bring my car out for a ride; apart from slightly soft suspensions and abit of rolling, it was a sweet ride...)
