Melbourne holiday - 25 Sep

Checking out from Cowes Holiday Unit. Png Png at the front door.
The unit is very residential style, not hotel style. Suits my requirement. I love the space and the facilities. Free usage of washing machine with washing powder provided. Forgot to take picture of our laundry hang on clothes line which we never experience back at home. Most important the price is very cheap A$75 per day. Highly recommended

Pose with the car we rented from Avis
Hubby with the unit owner Brian. He is a very friendly host.
Last destination of our holiday at Koala Conservation Center before we leave Philip Island
Png Png with the big koala at the Visitor's Center
Naughty face
Walked along boardwalk to spot Koala
Real Koala
We saw miserable few koalas. All of them were sleeping
This Koala made our entrance ticket worth the price
It was the only Koala that was awake, moving from tree to tree and eating eucalyptus leaves
Png Png learned the words "chew" and "eucalyptus leaves" as I described to him what the koala did
Checked in to Easy Stay. The bed
The dining area
The kitchen
The last place we visited for this trip - Eureka skydeck 88
Chen Chen put a coin in the machine to press it into a souvenir plate
There are many telescope focusing on certain buildings in Melbourne
This shot is definitely out for people with height phobia
It was drizzling which was a blessing in disguise. We saw beautiful rainbow. The rainbow we saw was clear and thick
The rainbow didn't turn out well with our simple camera
After a while, another rainbow appeared. This one was even thicker and clearer. This is the first time Png Png saw the real rainbow
Sunset
Beautiful night scene So long Melbourne

Melbourne holiday - 24 Sep

Png Png : Kor kor Still sleeping
Lazing on the bed
Chen Chen : ok ok get up now
First destination Churchill Island.


Png Png lied comfortably on the sofa at the entrance
My boys opened the flat on the ship to discover treasure in the hole


The heritage farm house
Cellar
Came out of the cellar
Chen Chen fed lamb with dried straw.
Next stop watch pelican feeding near the pier in San Remo at 12 o’clock
This pelican was not scared of human being. It went near us, opened his bill and made the sound "urgh" at us. Png Png was not scared of this pelican. He went very near it. Hubby quickly pulled Png Png back
The pelicans were fed half full so that they will not loose their nature of seeking food in the wild
The boys' favorite place A Maze 'N Things
Giant Purple Tap floats in mid air gushing out thousands of litres of water into a Flooded House.
The illusion room is tilted so that one won't fall down no matter how much you bend towards the front
The sea was actually wall paper. It look as if Chen Chen was on a ship
The visitor with the camera is a dummy
Pier Pressure at Puzzle Island. One player look at the route on the monitor outside the puzzle and guide the other player to step on the correct block to walk out of the puzzle




19 hole maxi mini-golf course. Both boys enjoyed this the most especially Chen Chen
All Chen Chen care was to hit the ball into the hole regardless of the pose
It was hilarious to see him in action








Naughty face pose




The boys played till closing time. They brought back 2 golf balls each - 2 pink and 2 purple golf balls
