6th day in Melbourne

Today going up to Mt Dandenong!!! yay!!! I’ll be meeting my ji mui at the Thornbury station. We had a relax start of the day and head to Findler’s Street  Station (which we’re quite familiar at the moment already) and took a train to Thornbury station.

Went to this bridge and there’s a plate here that shows a bit of the history of Melbourne. It also shows how different people from different countries came together in Australia, their number and where they are from.

The houses along the street are by itself. they are not attached to one another and each houses have their own design. Every houses has their own sufficient space of garden. It’s very nice and lovely.

After that we head on to the Mt Dandenong, where the place to see the beautiful view.

P1030417

It something like “Small Genting” or “Lookout Point” in Malaysia but this is in Melbourne. We can see the city centre from there. But because of the haze, the visibility is less. I bet we should be able to see the sea if there were less haze. But it’s nice. The view is facing West side that time. We rested for awhile and take few deep breaths of the fresh air… Then got down and head on for tea break…

Along the way, there were some cyclist there were climbing uphill. Go go go!!! wow, they really have that spirit to cycle!

We reached Ms Marples and had some tea with desserts. It was very nice and lovely. The interior design was very nice as the walls have shelfs of various designs of teapots….
