The upcoming photos are my favourites among the lots...It has got nothing to do with my photography skills... In the first place, the photos aren't fabulous, but the places are. I am just wondering how can anyone deny the presence of God with such creation. To have it, you will need an architecture, a draftman, a builder, a painter, an aesthetic designer, a landscaper, and many others to accomplish it. Well.. .. these places are created by neither of them and hence, only the Big Man up there can be responsible for it.

The last part of the photos will feature our trip to Richmond town. Stay tuned.

Port Arthur (part 2)

The adventure continues on our Tasman Peninsula trip, as we embark on our main destination, Port Arthur.

This place has many things to be proud of, or should I say "being famous about". Firstly, this place used to be an old prisoner colony, where all the convicts of England are sent to. Many of which form the ancestry line of the current Australians today.

Secondly, the world largest single-man massarce took place right in this place.. A man by the name of Martin Bryant took down 35 lives in a single event during 1996. Interestingly, one of the victims is the uncle of my friend from Malaysia. The guy was on his holiday that day, with his mistress.. Yes...!!

Thirdly, Port Arthur is soon to be classified as a World Heritage site, a recognition shared by famous locations such as the Cradle mountain and Gordan river.

I shan't blabber much further... Let the pictures do the telling of these marvellous place.

More on Tasman Peninsula in the next post.. :)

Tasman Peninsula (Part 1)

One day right after my trip to Sydney, we lead a group of students to Port Arthur, Tasman peninsula to be exact. I shall introduce the place over a period of weeks as there are simply too many pictures to feature in one post.

A look out of the Eaglehawk neck

Tessilated plates formed by natural erosion and earth movements, resulting in this fascinating creation.
A closer view of it.



It is really hard to explain the sort of feelings I experienced during those moments. It is really up to one to sense it personally. To me, Tasmania is a really unique place.... Some people call it the "Tassie Magic". As for me, its like the artist's room of God, where He perform His artistic work at...

Sydney (part 4)

More of Sydney continues from here...

After church on Sunday, we decided that we'll visit "The Rocks". Famous landmarks or key places at this place includes the famous Darling Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera house (voted Australia's No. 1 most scenic place), pancakes on the rocks, and not forgetting the weekend market. This week was however special and different from the rest, as it was the "Aroma festival" week. Attractions of this festival includes Coffee, Tea, Chocolates and all things sweet and nice..

Though I must admit that I am not an ardent fan of coffee... the chocolate part did get my adrenaline pumping.. There were so many things that I had, ranging from thick gourmet hot chocolate to Max Brenner's waffle drizzled with hot chocolate sauce. Yummy.. !!!!

We had so many "Chai Latte" testing that we should have been awarded a diploma in tea appreciation la..

Sydney Opera house
As the name suggestz..
Aroma festivallll...
As you can see, the place was crowded with people, so much so that I felt home..
I enjoyed the market pretty much..

Well... I guess this sums up my Sydney trip.. You wouldn't believe how much I have been travelling, knowing that this is my final semester and I will have to start work next year. Next post will include the trip to Port Arthur, Tasmania, where we lead a group of 28 students to this ex-convict settlement..
