Melbourne - Australia - Day 8 - Early Morning

At 3:00 A.M I woke up tiredly, I was sleepy. We got ready. At 4:30 A.M we went in my dad's friend's car. On Google Maps it was estimated that it will take about 1 hour and 5 minutes to reach Melbourne Airport. The sky was still dark. When my dad's friend dropped as at the terminal. We needed to find the desk to find the flight details. Our lane was E and it was far back. At E there was 2 flights checking in, going to Christchurch and going to Denpasar in Indonesia. It didn't took long to the desk to give our plane sticker. After everything finished we were hungry and went to Hungry Jacks and Subway. I really like eating Subway it was yum. After eating we went in the gate. I thought after the gate and we wait for the plane to come, I thought that there wasn't much people coming to Christchurch, but it was nearly full. We were lucky to find some seats to sit on.

At 7:45am the gate to go on the plane opened. There was one going to Jetstar and one going to Qantas. There was heaps of people going on the plane. It was good that we went earlier so we didn't wait for a long time. Our seat wasn't too far from the front. I had a really awesome Melbourne Trip.

At 8:40am the plane started moving to the runway. In the middle of the runway we had to stop for a few minutes because there was a plane coming from the other runway so we couldn't move.

At 8:50am the plane started to moving to take off. The plane took speed and lifted off. The pilot said that it would take around 3 hours and 5 minutes to reach Christchurch Airport (before the liftoff). It was a hot day in Tasman Sea. I hoped that the weather in Christchurch is good and sunny. In the middle of the flight most of the people were sleeping. It was so boring waiting. I saw the white fluffy clouds and the blue crystal shiny sea.

But when we went down it was raining. At 2:03pm (New Zealand Standed Time) we arrived back at Christchurch. It was really fun back home.

I hope you like my post. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 7

I have just like 10 hours in Melbourne. I couldn't write anything because there was nothing to do today. But I have some things that I wrote.

We started to pack up. I was excited to go back Christchurch. Tomorrow at 4:00 A.M we'll be leaving to Melbourne Airport. As yesterday we stayed home and did nothing.

In the morning as usually I eat Weet-Bix with milk for breakfast. I didn't realize that the time came to leave Melbourne. I will share my best and worst parts of the trip next post. But the only thing that I did was to watch a movie at night. Today is my 2nd shortest post of my holiday. As I told you earlier, I will be leaving at 4:00 A.M tomorrow so I will post my last post of my holiday back at Christchurch.

I hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 6

As I told you yesterday I won't do anything fun, that's what happened. So today this will be a really short post. So today I think that I will do only one or two paragraphs.

Today I stayed home and did nothing.

At afternoon I watched TV and it came Charlie Chaplin. I really like watching Charlie Chaplin because it is funny. There was like a movie of Charlie Chaplin. It took like about a hour to finish the movie.

At night...

When I was writing we heard a thunderstorm.

I have less than 2 days in Melbourne left.

Melbourne - Australia - Day 5

This is my fifth day at Melbourne. I have less than 2 days at Melbourne. I will tell you what I have done today.

Melbourne River Cruises

It was late in the morning. At 10:50 A.M we decided to go to the Melbourne River Cruises. It was going to be fun. It took some time to reach over there. But it didn't took time from the bridge to the cruise 🛥️. We parked opposite Kings Way at the Crown and had Subway before getting out of the Crown. When I went near the cruise, it was really smaller than I thought. We had Subway for lunch. It was yum!!

After eating, we went outside and took photos 📸 together. We saw some cool places like, MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground 🏟️), Olympic Park, Melbourne Park, AAMI Park 🏟️ and Rod Laver Arena. The mini cruise went through Yarra River. It was a great view. Did you know: MCG is the largest Cricket Ground in the world - with 100,024 capacity (MCG is not a stadium for Cricket, it is a stadium for AFL - Australian Football League, Rugby League and even Baseball ⚾!). Let's go back to the topic. It wasn't a long ride. After getting of the mini cruise we went to ACMI for a look.

We climbed up the stairs and looked around. First we saw pom-pom trees (hanged pom-poms). Then we saw a visitor centre at Federation Square. We went inside the visitor centre and went down in the lift to the basement. When we went inside the basement there was heaps of maps around the basement. There were the maps of Melbourne and surrounding places. We went out of the basement to the top, my dad's friend decided to go to the tram 🚎. We crossed St Kilda Street and Flinders Street. At the station we saw that only 3 different tram numbers come to this station, 35 (City Circle), 70 (Waterfront Docklands), and 73 (Etihad Stadium). We decided to go around the city central and picked the tram 🚊35. "We missed the tram." I said. Now we had to wait for 12 minutes for the tram.

After 12 minutes...

At 3:13 P.M the tram arrived to the station. It was a hot day (After one train leaves from a station one other train comes from the other side of the tram number 35.) so there was heaps of noise of the tracks and the wheel. The tram goes from Melbourne Central (of course) and Docklands near the port. The driver switches sides at Docklands because it was the end at Docklands. These are the roads/streets that we had been, Flinders Street, Wurundjeri Way, Collins Street, Harbor Esplanade, La Trobe Street, Victoria Street, Spring Street and Wellington Parade. It took 50 minutes in the tram 🚊= we arrived at 4:03 P.M We stopped at the wrong station, we went out of the train one station early. Then my dad's friend said that we can go to the Sea Life Aquarium. At the reception desk the lady said that the penguins are going to sleep so go there quickly. When we went to the Penguin playground the Penguins were walking around and nearly going to sleep. There were some other people already there looking and taking photos of the Penguins. So we took photos as well. There were Penguins there like King Penguins and Gentoo Penguins.

Then the next place to visit, the Crocodile Cork. The Sea Life Aquarium is much larger than the aquarium in Auckland. When we reached on top of Crocodile Cork the Crocodile was huge from the top. The Crocodile was sleeping. Behind there was animals like Turtles, Snakes and Green Pythons. Here are the animals/Sea Animals that we saw,

Coral Atoll

Southern Blue Tang, multicoloured fish, Moray Eeels, and other Sea Animals.

Coral Caves

Clownfish and Moon Jellies.

Mermaid Garden

Grey Nurse Shark, Smooth Stingray and Queensland Groper.

Seahorse Pier

Giant Cuttlefish and Sea Dragons.

Rainforest Adventure

Lungfish, Sea Turtles and Lizards and Spiders.

Penguin Playground

King Penguins and Gentoo Penguins.

Bay Of Rays

Port Jackson Shark

Others

Sawfish, Stingrays, Shark Ray, White Spotted Eagle Ray, Giant Smooth Ray, Lungfish, Archerfish, Boyd’s Forest Dragon, Sea Star, Seahorse, Leafy Sea Dragons, Giant Cuttlefish, Pinjarra (the mega crocodile), Blacktip Reef Shark and Whitetip Reef Shark.

On the side there was a stair that leads down near the Pinjarra (the mega crocodile). When we came near some people made noise and made the Pinjarra awake. Then his/her right foot stood up. There we see fishes swim under the Pinjarra. Then we went to the next place. I have seen animals that I haven't seen in my life before. After looking at the Animals and the Sea Animals we went outside the building and walked back to the Crown. We were in the Sea Life Aquarium for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. We decided to have dinner at Crowns.

At 6:00 P.M we had dinner at Tandoors - Crown. Today I have been to 4 places the Crown, Melbourne River Cruises, the 35 tram, and the Sea Life Aquarium. After dinner we went back home. I've seen heaps of things today. We arrived back home around 7:00 P.M. I have less than 3 days in Melbourne left. I think that tomorrow I won't do anything fun.

I hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 4

This is my fourth day at Melbourne. Today I haven't done much so this is a small post. But tomorrow I might do something fun. Now I will tell you what I have done today.

I woke up at 9:00 A.M.

We didn't do much today just stayed home and played UNO and Xbox 360 (Not the whole day). Then later at night we might go to the temple. So this post might be little. Let's start.

It started at 10:00 A.M when we played UNO with my sister, Jaitra, his cousin and I. I won 2 games in a row. Then we played Track and Field also Bowling in Xbox 360. It was really fun playing Track and Field also Bowling. In Bowling I came 3rd because I was versing the pros. Then we played Football (Soccer). I couldn't play well because the sensor was focusing the other player.

At 5:00 P.M we went to the temple. It would take above 1 hour. When we reached the temple the hall was full of people! At 7:00 P.M it was the time to eat every standed up in rows. We ate Sevsar and hot bread. It is one of my favorite food. I had a really good dinner. Then we went to the Bookstall in the temple. We bought some food for us.

I hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 3

This is my third day in Melboune. For the last 2 days I have been doing excited things. I think that today I will do something fun.

At 8:15 A.M I woke up freshly. I wanted to have a cool 😎 day like yesterday. I started of with doing Breakfast.

Luna Park

At 10:29 A.M we decided to go to Luna Park (it's not just a park, but it is a Amusement Park). I was waiting the time that we could go to Luna Park. It will take about 1 hour and 4 minutes to reach Luna Park. It is going to be fun.

At 11:55 A.M we stopped at a petrol station. We went inside and had some Hot Chocolate.

At 12:30 P.M we arrived at Luna Park. The weather was so windy. There were heaps of rides in Luna Park. Some of them were scary and some were not scary. Here are the rides that I have been to, the Ghost Train, Street Legal Dodgems, Mirror Maze, Holodeck, Top Drop, Pharaohs Curse, Enterprise, Road Runner and Twin Dragon. After riding Twin Dragon we went to the Melbourne Star.

The Cabin

Melbourne Star is a Ferris wheel 🎡. When we went inside the cabin we had a huge space to move around. At the staring the Ferris wheel went a bit fast because we couldn't see the view. Melbourne Star is mostly about the view. Here is what we saw, high rise buildings, the Docklands port, containers at Docklands port, Olympic Winter Institute of Australia, heaps of roads - motorways, most of Melbourne, a game of soccer ⚽ at a soccer field, Yarra River, stores, heaps of cars 🚗, trains 🚂, bridges, the mountains 🗻 far by, houses 🏡, Skybus, buses🚌, huge tram 🚎 and other fun things. We arrived down quickly, I didn't recognized when we reached back down. We saw the sunset 🌆 go down.

Eureka Skydeck 88

At 5:02 P.M we leave Melbourne Star 🎡 and the next destination is a Indian Restaurant. On the way we saw heaps of tall buildings. One of the buildings was a building named Eureka Skydeck 88 - with 88 floors. Eureka Skydeck 88 is a gold-plated observation deck on the last floor with a panoramic (a wide photo) city view. Let's go back to the topic. We went past a tunnel and in the middle of the tunnel there was a small traffic. As well it was a really long tunnel.

At 6:10 P.M we arrived at Dosa Plaza (restaurant name). We had a nice and full dinner. It is estimated at it will take about 20 km to reach back home = 20 minutes.

At 10:10 P.M we reached back home. We came back home late because we had to go to someones house.

I hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 2

This is my second day in Melbourne. I will tell you my report what happened today! Today was a cool 😎 day!! As I told you yesterday!! Have a read at my report of what I have done.

I woke up at 7:00 A.M. I had Weet-Bix for breakfast. Then I had a shower.

At 9:55 A.M we went to Phillip Island. We went past the countryside, it looked like our countryside in New Zealand. But the only 2 things that are different is that the grass is dry and the second, there are less animals at the farm than our New Zealand farms. On the way we stopped to fill patrol. I was excited to go to Phillip Island. When I went out of the car I felt the cool breeze. Then my dad and my dad's friend came to the car with a coffee and hot chocolate. At Anderson Link Road there was thick fog 🌁 in the sky and we couldn't see what is ahead of us.

At 11:15 A.M we arrive at Phillip Island. We went to the information centre. They said some tourist attractions like, the Chocolate Factory, A Maze 'N Things, Koala Conservation Centre, the Nobbies Centre, and Penguin Parade.

The Sea

At 11:52 A.M we arrived Nobbies Centre. We first went to the walkway. I saw a mountain with an awesome view. We took heaps of pictures. It was a long walk. There are only one specie of Snake in Phillip Island called Copperhead Snake. Copperhead Snake's are shy so we can't see them. After looking at the view we went to the visitor centre. Also we were hungry so we eat some chips and spinach feta cheese rolls. It was yum! At 1:24 P.M we leave Nobbies Centre. Now the next destination is Phillip Island Wildlife Park. We canceled the plan for the Koala Conservation Centre because the Wildlife Park was more near than Koala Conservation Centre.

A Koala Sleeping

A Kangaroo mother with its child

At 1:30 P.M we arrive at at Phillip Island Wildlife Park. When we arrived we saw some baby kangaroos. At the reception we got some food for the Kangaroos, Wallabies, Emus and Swans. Before looking at these animals, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Emus and Swans. We looked at Red Necked Pademelon, Echidna, Koalas (we saw 2 koalas 🐨 sleeping up in a tree), Pelican, Wombats, Cockatoo, Dingo, Emu, Cassowary, Goshawk, Little Eagle, King Parrot, Satin Bower-Bird, Black-winged Stilt, Bronzewing Pigeon, Barking Owl, Torres Straits Pigeon, Buff Banded Rail, Australian White Ibis, Tiger Quoll, Tawny Frog mouth, Little Corella, Red-tailed Black cockatoo, Pink cockatoo, Black-breasted buzzard, Masked Owl, Kookaburra, Red Kangaroos (Original Kangaroos from the Australian Desert). The next place that was to fed the Kangaroos! I was super excited. When the Kangaroos came to me and ate, my palm was tiggly. I had feed heaps of Kangaroos. At last I had a chance to feed a baby Kangaroo! He or she was so cute. I also fed a swan. Then we went where we can feed Red Kangaroos and Emus (Emus could be cheeky so we have to be careful). I saw 2 Emus chasing each other like they are playing tag. I fed only one Red Kangaroo because there wasn't much time left. Then we looked at Bats hanging down. There was heaps of Bats hanging down, mostly near the light. The last and final animal, Snakes and Lizards. We went back to the reception centre to wash our hands (because the Kangaroos ate and a bit licked our palms) and go out. After we brought some Ice-Cream.

The last and final destination is the Chocolate Factory! At 3:15 P.M we left Phillip Island Wildlife Park. It is estimated that at 3:22 P.M we will reach at Chocolate Factory. When we went inside the Factory and saw the prize, it was expensive so we couldn't go inside. So we looked at the cafe and some other places. We went to the cafe and bought some food. I eat some Salad Sandwich.

At 4:00 P.M we left the Chocolate Factory and went back home. It was estimated that it will take 54 minutes to reach home that means at 4:54 P.M we will reach home.

Exactly at 4:54 P.M we arrived back home. We had a coooool 😎 day!!!!!!! Bye!!

Melbourne - Australia - Day 1

If you have seen my last post that I posted today morning, than have a see and then read this story that I have written. I will tell you what I have written.

I woke up at 2:55 A.M (New Zealand Standard Time) and got ready. I was really sleepy, but really excited! After getting ready I packed my Chromebook with me.

I really wanted to go to Melbourne, Australia. At 3:00 A.M we left home and went to the airport. At 4:50 A.M we checked our bags and electronic devices. At 5:00 A.M we looked at some shops near our gate. After 1 hour and 5 minutes the plane would take off.

At 5:51 A.M we board to the plane. At 6:00 A.M the engine started and we moved back. The plane started to take off. At 6:15 A.M the plane took off.

We slept the whole way to Melbourne. At 8:05 A.M (Australian Standard Time) we arrived to Melbourne Airport or Tullamarine Airport. When the plane landed and everyone stand up and made a huge line that lasted 7 minutes.

At 9:20 A.M we got out of the airport. My dad's friend picked us up and and took us to an enormous carpark where his car is.

After 25 minutes...

The traffic begun at a motorway. It was the largest traffic that I have seen before. We decided to go to the temple first. We went past M80.

At 10:14 A.M we reached to the temple. We looked all around the temple. It was really large, larger than our Christchurch temple.

We were hungry so we went to Hungry Jacks (similar to Burger King) to have lunch. We ate a burger and chips. After eating we went straight to my dad's friend house. We have to drive 67km from Hungry Jacks to my dad's friend's house.

At 1:00 P.M we reached to my dad's friend's house. We were really tired because of the long drive. The weather seemed to be cloudy, but suddenly showers started. We didn't plan to go anywhere.

At 6:30 P.M we decided to play carom. At the starting I played quite bad because it was my first time playing carom. But later I came to first place. My finger was paining. There were some times when I was going to win but I couldn't aim it correctly. At the end it came a bit hard. But it came to the part when I loss, Jaitra won!

Then we played Xbox 360. We played Kinect Sports. First we played Bowling because everyone could play and no one could miss out playing. I started bad with just 7 or 8 points, I didn't do any spare or strike. But later in the middle I had done Double strike and came first points with 107 points. It was a chance that I may have come first place or second place. But I came first with 147 points. After the game Jatira and I played Football (Soccer) against each other. Jairta started awesome with a score of 0-2. But later in the middle of the game I attacked and scored 3 points that makes the score 3-2. It was the last 0:10 seconds and I scored 2 goals. The game ended with 5-2. We played another game called Adventure. First round - River Rush. (We have to collect coins and get a higher score) When I played I got about 213 points - Gold.

Then my Mum and my dad's friend went to a supermarket called Coles. We had a good time playing together. I think that we had a awesome day! I think that we will have a cool 😎 day tomorrow! I hope you like my post. Have a cool 😎 day!! Bye!!

As you know our topic is about mysteries all around the world. I have posted 4 to 5 posts about our mystery, like one is about my last post about my speech that I presented. We have made creations about our mystery. I have worked with Lasa for our creation. This creation shows how the UFO crashed near Mac Brazel's cabin. All of the class did their creation.
