Isnt this place is soooooo B.E.A.Utiful~~~





I cannot "tahan" wanna take like million photos with all those beautiful flowers!!!! XD





Awwwww.. next photos!




The moment I saw it, I was like super duper XXCited!!!!! soooooooo many tulips!!!






ARRRRRRRRR......... they all sooooooooo beautiful.



However, it was raining day. >.<' You can tell just by looking at the flowers.


Victoria had really crazy weather. Sometime in a day you can experienced 4 seasons!!! (winter, autumn, spring, & summer)




That day it wasnt just raining but a few hours it was really sunny and all the sudden has hail!!! Gosh what a day. But, it still wont stop us enjoy Tulip Festival!




It is because too beautiful~~



I cant believe there soooooo many difference kind of Tulip. Just look as above picture is really looks like white rose.




Seriously, I really cant remember the name of every single of them even got name tags on it.





It really make me feel wanna to have own garden so that I can plant all those gorgeous flowers at my backyard (if I have my own property) with cup of tea~~ aww..... how`s nice??


Relax , enjoy and peace of mind~~~~ (laura, now is dreaming again @__o_@")



It was about to raining and the picture turn out dark T_T




The picture above is my favorite but damn! not enough sun expossion. stupid rain.

By the way, the place originally owned by a couples from Holland and they immigrated to Australia. At the beginning they dont really like Melbourne and moved to Sydney but decided come back to Melbourne and found this land which suitable for gardening especially for tulip.



After years by years a lot people coming to they place because amazing field full of tulips! Since then, they started had entry fees and all the money they make will donated to RED CROSS. (god blessed them!)



Now, the actual owner is one of their younger son & his wife to maintain the fields. Also, received award tourist for 2005 if not mistakes. I think the best time to visit is on weekend because it got more events such as foods & wine festival. However, we not free on weekend and only Tuesday have some day off.




next try Holland foods!




We ordered Dutch poffertjes with Chocolate topping & Special Gourmet Sausage.




Dutch poffertjes! yummmY! they freshly cooked in front of customers





It taste similar to donuts but it not oily because they are not deep fried. I can eat 2 plates of that!





OMGGGG,..I gotto tell you guys must order this Gourmet Sausages with Special Sauce!!

I cant believe it was like "heaven" what a great taste with combination of onion + curry + Sweet Mayo + ketchup


okay,...after fill up the stomach. Time for souvenir.




Dutch Wooden Shoes

A bit disappointed, because we couldn't find a suitable souvenir we can buy. We were looking for a fridge magnet with their signature tulip field so that we can stick on our travel collection.

I should write a feedback or suggestion to them. :D




Yaaaaaaaaaaa is sunny!!! how`s gorgeous they are!!!




If we come early to the festival, it even more flowers!




need to walk all the way back to front.




Aww,...cant have enough pictures of myself with Tulips! ehheeheh





But, we need some sacrifices,.............because of raining all the ground are wet! So, let`s get dirty! I`m means our foots.



Difference angle to took the photos. If would be great if we got DRSL camera! sighhhhhh,...dont really wanna recall sad memory ( got stolen ....@$#$#%$%$^%&^%!!!!!!!!!)




ohh crap,........look like about to raining
