Australia Part 2-Oakvale Farm & Fauna World at Port Stephens, Coffs Harbour, Thai Food

Day 4 (24/12/15)
The itinerary for the day was to visit Oakvale Farm & Fauna World located at Port Stephens, followed by Coffs Harbour which is the place we would be staying at for one night before going to Brisbane
The 25 acreas Oakvale Farm & Fauna World is 100% Australian owned and operated
You will see many Australian native, domestic farm and exotic animals there
You can feed and pat the animals
The best is to be there on time (11am) so that you won't miss out anything!
We were late for few minutes and missed out the bottle feeding of baby farm animals
Luckily we were on time for the cow milking!
First time milking a cow!

Guinea pigs 
Saw this in the reptile ravine
American alligators 
This cute little one sleeping peacefully!
Was so scared at first
It can basically stay in the same position for so long
My new toy
Spotted a koala 
So cute!
Cassowaries 
Wallabies 
They were very shy. It's very hard to get closer to them.
Look at these two!
Dingo. It feeds on wallabies and kangaroos. 
Apparently this is a very old kangaroo. It moved so slowly. 
It will actually hold your hand when you are feeding it.
Sun bathing
Beautiful family
The three musketeers
Oopsiee! Can't reach! Sorry buddy!
Do I look good?
Miniature ponies
The alpacas
Texan Longhorn
Oakvale Farm & Fauna World is definitely a must-go!
You should really include it in your itinerary if you are at Port Stephens, especially if you love animals!
Later
We went to Coffs Harbour to stay for a night at Coastal Bay Motel
Had mouth-watering Thai food for dinner
Good night!

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo

Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

Image
On one fine day (3rd of August) Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves Unexpected trips are the best right? So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu According to one blog The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station We initially followed But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars) After walking for about 10 minutes We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near) It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun! Your mood will be instantl
