I must be the most hardworking blogger ever typing this at 1:28AM.
I have to catch up on all my travelogue before they run out of fashion (else you will still be seeing my Liz Lisa Spring next year wtf). After Australia, i need to go back to my Nagoya, and then eventually my winter in Hokkaido posts O.o (or are you not interested anymore T__T).
Anyway!
Tourism Australia flew us to Aus on 20th April, and we had one night in Melbourne.
#1
Was dead tired but still insisted going out just so i could say that i have been to Melbourne!
*waves at everyone from the station*
#2
Met up with Pinky! It feels so good to know that you have a trustworthy friend to bring you around a city you have never been to! Wished i had more time to hang out with her!
Went to the Casino, won $100, but our cab fare was $100 too. FOL.
#3
Took Virgin Blue from Mel to Tasmania.
Keju took this picture and commented that he doesn’t know his old friend anymore because she has fake hair, fake lashes, fake iris, fake everything. He emo Lis Liza. He said Liz Lisa stole his friend.
#4
Fake bottom lash too, by the way.
(Ok i actually went to sleep after typing that sentence, so i’m continuing this in the morning!)
#5
Our guide brought us to Ingleside Bakery for lunch.
#6
Love the setting!
#7
And my super big lunch!
#8
Super yummy but kenot finish T__T
#9
Scenery along the way was beautiful!
I love this whole cow and grass and blue sky thing.
#10
The next destination was awesomesauce. Like, litterally.
We went to Tasmanian Gourmet Sauce Company.
From the name we thought we were going to some big ass factory with 1000 workers stomping on chili or something.
#11
No. It is a husband-and-wife family business started from a home business and now they are famous even overseas. (Husband Tim wasn’t around when we visit because he went to Singapore for business meeting. Soon you will be seeing it in KL supermarkets maybe! :D)
#12
I want to live here!!!
#13
#14
Home grown apple
#15
Their lab! This is the first time i see a dog who loooooves apples! She just runs around looking for apples on the ground and nomnom them!
#16
#17
#18
It is sooooooo beautiful! I want to bring Koyuki here!!!!!
#19
#20
Sauces and jams they produce. There are mustards, relishes, chutneys and different kind of jams.
#21
ZOMG AWESOMESAUCE!
#22
Lucky to get to sample everything! 😛
(Matching nails wtf)
After that we went over to Tasmanian Honey Company.
#23
#24
#25
More tasting!!!
It’s incredible they have so many different kinds of honey! My favorite was Leatherwood , Manuka and Christmas Bush.
#26
lolol
#27
Apparently they are exporting to KL too!!! (If i’m not mistaken in BSC or something) Remember how it looks! Buy for your honey bunny!
#28
Drove to Launceston and stayed in TwoFourTwo the awesome boutique apartment.
#29
i’d say again that people in Tasmania are really creative. They even sacrifice their shoes for street art.
#30
Went to Stillwater Cafe for a 6 course dinner that took 3 hours.
Pictures i took were crap so not posting, but give it a try if you have the time to spare, really excellent food and superb service!!
#31
The next day. (You can skip the next 5 photos)
#32
#33
#34
#35
#36
#37
Went lunch at the Basin Cafe in Cataract Gorge Reserve. Look what i saw!!!
A rainbow across the table! 😀 😀 😀
(Our guide told us that the Asians she met are all very easily fascinated by rainbows. WHYYY! Is rainbow everywhere in Australia? 🙁 )
#37
I didn’t do this cuz that time i haven’t conquered my fear yet lol.
#38
Food was soooooo good. I will say again, why fried squid in Aussie SO GOOD ONE!!!!
#39
My risotto. Had been having craving for risotto since the moment i landed. This had absolutely satisfied my appetite to the max.
#40
Oh did i tell you i went shopping while Kenny did his flying fox?
This is what i bought I AM SO HAPPY! I think i got it near Centreway Arcade (where a reader said “Hi Ringo” to me and i thought i misheard her and thought that she was just being the usual friendly Tasmanian until she left a comment on my blog and said she said hi to me that morning omg so paiseh T_______T).
Ok get back to the scarf. I WANTED THIS SO BADLY LO it is straight out of VIVI worn by Lena and guess what!!!!
I BOUGHT IT FOR $7 MUAHAHAHAH!
#41
Made a big bow. ^^
#42
Continue our journey to Cradle Mountain. Saw some weird looking plants along the way.
#43
Button grass — only in Tasmania.
#44
#45
Reached the beautiful Dove Lake!
#46
(Was very cold, but tahan only >___<)
#47
#48
#49
This is the view from my little lodge.
All the accommodations we stayed in Aus have super amazing views. So when you stare out of your windows it is like staring at a painting wtf.
#50
It suddenly turned very cold so got all prepared for a spotlight night tour up at Cradle Mountain!
#51
#52
OMG MY FAV ANIMAL IS NOW A WOMBAT CAN I HAZ ONE NAOOOOO!

my dog loves to nom on rambutans. 😀 I think it’s becos they find it damn syok to go around hunting for fruits that fall to the ground and steals it before anyone can get it. XD
hahahahah true hor!!!!
Haha, why the wallaby face so emo one?
all wallabies liddat one :@
Your current hairstyle and hair colour suits you more. I love the photos you took and the angle you took from. Amazing!you look sweet. =)
thank you 🙂
The shoe flinging street art, isn’t exactly street art. 🙁
“Shoe tossing/flinging” can be observed in many countries such as USA and Canada.
In many places and times, shoes hanging on telephone wires/power lines usually symbolize the selling and usage of weed or heroin. On the other hand, it can –not as likely though– be because of marriage, or other not-as-bad events.
Just wanted to point that out. 🙂
💡 i didnt know that
this is also true in around australasia. =
I have a chiku tree at home and my dogs would nomnom the fruits that drop on the ground. And they spit out the seeds!
lollolol why so cute one!!! all the local dogs eat local fruits.
FML what does Siberia have???
hey on your pic #29 – the shoes on the eletrical wire thingy. apparently, if there’s shoe hanging like that means around the area there’s someone doing drugs. -________- i am studying in Brisbane now and that’s what my friend told me! i was quite amazed when i heard that too cause i saw shoes hanging like that near my place too! @____@
yea someone mentioned it just now. I had no clue 💡 💡 💡
Yayyyyy!!!! Happy happy happy!!!!

As one who studies in Melbourne I’ve had some opportunity to travel around regional Victoria. I have been to coastal areas (if u wanna know: Phillip Island, Mornington & Bellarine Penisula and Great Ocean Road). In these areas I always see those button grass scenery. Those plants that look like button grass have very sharp leaves ok… damn pain when I touched those leaves.
A note about Crown Casino (I am teaching bad stuff here okay!). Muslims can go in2 the casino and hav a look, no one will care! Hahaha.
dog eat apples?!! 😈
Aww Dove Lake is so nice!!! btw button grass look so cute LOL~
Looks like it was fun! Sadly, I’ve never been outside the US.
