Berries & Cherries PICK!

Earlier this month we went to Berries & Cherries Pick at Blue Hills with our friends and my brother as well. It was beautiful day and wasn't hot and cold. Thank god for that! and I really love this place bcoz you can pick your own berries & cherry. The best part was you can pick difference kind of berries and at the same location and all you can eat as many as you can!



Seriously, we all was so full and obviously it was our "healthy lunch" hahahahhah. After spent 2 hours at picking. We went to Domain Chandon winery. One of popular winery at Victoria and there got really beautiful dining areas with amazing beautiful. Just type on Google you will saw beautiful photography. ;D

We spent out lunch time there and it only available light lunch and a bit pricey the meal. Well, what do you expect is winery place. We did bought a few bottle of wines, as Christmas present which I think is a very good idea, especially you can sample the wine which one is best.



Btw, berries & cherries pick is limited time, it depend on season. Usually it will available end of year Oct-Feb and also depend availability to pick. The best time would be Dec-Jan bcoz most berries will available otherwise need to check their website or give them a ring to avoid disappointment.


p/s: feel to free check Fotoluver and I selected a few my favorite photography.

Again, I`m deeply feel so sorry about late updates. At least update the entry once a week for per day trip. That`s the best I can do and find a times. Okay cut the crap. Dont waste of time. I still got more entries need to be update and soon there will be more new entries since is christmas season. Gosh!,.. a lot event happening right now.

On the second day trip, we went to many places

1. Puffing Billy Train
2. Chapmans Points
3. Enchanted Garden at Morninton Peninsula
4. Healesvilles Sanctuary



Puffing Billy

Yaaa.....I was happy about Puffing Billy train and is my second time went there. This time, I finally bought magnet at souvenir shop for my collection. heheehh I`m gonna stick all magnet on fridge and see how far we have been traveling across Victoria. ;D


LOL,...this is the best part how you enjoy the view!!!




well,...my parents wasn't enjoy coz, they were worry about me and scared I`m gonna accidentally, off from train. -___-' all they doing is watching of me instead enjoy the view.

Sighhhhhhh,......I try to convinced them be cool man or chill up!,...is holidays, don't think unnecessary thing, cant you guys just enjoy the trip.


okay,...our camera man on role.



btw, Ray wasnt with us. He drove the car at waited us at Menzie Creek. So, save more troubles rather then buy return tickets.

Anyway. at least my brother and ray sis are enjoy coz..............


hahahaahh I`m managed convinced Ray `sis do the same thing!!!. ahhaahahahh

now, two gals gone naughty as kids.

Once we arrived, I told ray what happened and Ray couldn't believe his sister would do such as thing. WAHHHAHAH,..... well, we are not longer like young kids.

But, it was fun!

However, this time the trip to Puffing Billy trip wasn't as good as first time coz, it was spring, I was expecting the view more beautiful compare on autumn. It was bunch of green trees, about in afternoon and seem nothing special compare to autumn which more colorful trees and in the morning we will see those lovely sunlight - ray reach into the forest look cold and feel very fairy.

You can see the difference if you review my old entries on May.

Okay, next will be

Chapmans Point


it was breath taking view when we on the way to Morninton Peninsula. We stopped on road side, and took some picture here which my parents really excited about. Coz they never saw such as gorgeous view.

It was kind of cold although is spring. Thanks god wear another layer on top.




Obviously, you guys will know what this place call... :D

okay next destination will be boring is

Healesvilles Sanctuary

I getting sick of koala. Wont write much about it since I been there before which we guys can just review my previous post on June.


By end of this year, I believe this 2008 I saw a lot koala bears and even in my dream also got koala bears. It took me a whole to get rid of it. hahahh



But, my parents quite enjoy it.


okay, seem he/she get really "TULAN" on us.....ahhahah


Unfortunately, my parents didn't get the chance to pat baby Wallabi like us last time trip. It seem bad timing, at the beginning I saw a group pating DINGO! I urgent them is dingo ! let`s go !but I cant expect them rush to the destination, so, at the end we all missed the chance.

Anyway, just treat this as exercise and relax mind trip. Seriously, they really need walk more and exercise more to become fit!


I was bored at the time and seem nothing interesting to snap.









okay,...next post coming soon.
