3rd Day in Melbourne

 

Yay! today I’ll be going to Melbourne Zoo! hehehe I’m so excited! I’m gonna see Kangaroos, Koalas, gorillas, and everything else!

We walked to the city centre and took a coffee before taking a train from Findlers Street Station to Royal Park Station where Melbourne Zoo is. It wasn’t very long as the journey only took us about 20 minutes.

Along the same day, there was a group of children came to the zoo…

The ticket wasn’t very expensive, $24.40. There’s also a special price for students, cheaper by about $6.00. The first thing we went in to see of course is to see the Kangaroos!!!!

We seem to be more semangat than the kangaroos…. Looks like the kangaroos just woke up only… haiz… not much activity from the kangaroos as some where just lazying around… lazy kangaroo…

  

This is called the blue-billed duck.

 

we were lucky to see the wombat… it’s so cute!!! a bit like pig but it looks nicer than a pig.

This was left exposed to the public. Doesn’t seem harmful… lives in the rocks

 

There were some reporters/journalist that day that came to the zoo do some documentary i think…. behind was the… KOALAS!!!

  

They are just so cute!!! today their appetite seems to be very good, kept on eating even when we came…. didn’t bother to care about us i guess… hahaha

some birds….

There were some giraffe, zebras and ostrich…

 

the tiger was at one corner walking, looks like waiting for something to come over there…

We entered to the butterfly park and boy, it was amazing! there were so many butterflies flying around!

 

how the processes of metamorphosis. it is the real thing!

Jz so beautiful

 

so big…

we heard a very loud monkey sound from afar…. coming near only saw who was the culprit…

this species of Orang Utan was making so much noise… so attention seeking…

 

I was a bit sad cause we can’t find the gorilla at the designated place. wuhuhuhu…. so i decided to….

 

hahaha but later on found the gorilla was having his good time…

eating and munching away his meal at the feeding place. we were so close to him! but he didn’t even bother to see us….

I like the habitat that they build for the Orang Utan. It was a very big place. The Orang Utan can sway around and play at the whole big space. Next we’ll see the BABOONS…

 

One male baboon can have many females following him. It’s like polygamy… not just two or three but MANY… I wonder how he can cope with the stress… hehehe

Next, went to this Japanese garden and the garden is nice but a bit small…

 

after that went to had lunch and had a chicken wrap at the zoo cafe…

There’s a lot of birds everywhere at the cafe. The birds doesn’t seem to be afraid of human…

After that went to see creatures from the sea…

the little penguins are so cute!

so short!

wild cat…

BEARS…

one of them lazying around just by the side…

 

hmmm this design looks familiar? hehe

 

Giant TURTLES….

exotic reptiles…

    

That marks the end of our journey in Melbourne Zoo. Fascinating though, but some animals that was lazy has disappointed me. Oh well, we can’t force to do what they don’t want to do. We can only encourage them.

After that we went back to Melbourne city and manage to catch a City Tram. We went around the city and saw more buildings on the way.

The tram stops at Parliament building and let us take photos for a few minutes before proceeding to the next stop…

After that, being hard, we want to learn to take the tram, so we pointed our first destination to Crown Hotel (Since we never been to the hotel, complex and casino), we took train 55, luckily we didn’t overshot.

The Crown is hotel + shopping complex + casino, the only casino that is given license in Melbourne (thats what I’ve been told), but the sad case is, they asked for my age when I was about to enter… =.= sad…

 

Parking is “cheap” right?

we tapao dinner from “Boost” and had it by the river with a beautiful nice view…

As we start to feed the birds, more and more birds came from everywhere and it became more and more….

this above is the one legged bird…. legendary….

After that, we decided to go back since there’s nothing much left to visit in the city…. along the way , saw this dog… awww poor dog tied to the steel rail.

one day, one day i shall ride this…. hehehe

tomorrow I’ll be going to Queen Victoria’s Market! hahaha dun even know what to buy yet!
