I realised that some of you may be using dial-up connection and the pictures would be a pain to load. Therefore in this post, I've resized the pictures to manageable portions. These are some of the more significant pictures I have taken throughout my trip. Hope they will bring back fond memories to all of you, who have stayed in Australia, or are still staying there. Enjoy.

 Melbourne CBD

Flinders Street Station, Melbourne. 

Federation Square, Melbourne.

St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne.

Here we overtake cars. Within the Melbourne CBD you're looking at overtaking trams.

Aerial view of the Yarra River, Melbourne from Rialto Towers.

More flowers from Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne.

Model Tudor Village, Fitzroy Gardens.

Scenic lake, Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne.

Weird looking tree at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Looks like a cabbage...

Horse carriages.

RMIT university, Melbourne.

Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne.

Swanson street. Note the big yellow taxi- reminds me of NYC.

The free City tram! Hop on and hop off at your fancy. This is a good way to see the major sights of Melbourne as the train goes around the City Loop.

Would you pay AUD100 to sit in this tram and have your dinner?

The Shrine of Remembrance greets you when you exit from the Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne.

Southgate area, Melbourne. See those cute figures? They were crafted in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games (held earlier this year in Melbourne).

The Exeloo that talks to you.

"Welcome to the Exeloo Melbourne. You have exactly 10 minutes to do what you want to do. At the end of 10 minutes, the emergency alarm will ring and the door will open."

"Have a pleasant stay."

And, its free.

The Great Ocean Road

The scenic view of the jagged shoreline along the Great Ocean Road, Victoria.

The London Bridge.

The Twelve Apostles @ sunset.

and at sunrise.

The Loch Ard Gorge.

The grotto, another stopover along the Great Ocean Road (on the way to Port Campbell)

And finally,

Spotting a whale at Warnambool. See the tiny greyish speck on the bottom left?

Canberra

The state of the art Parliament House, Capitol Hill, Canberra. Simplicity is the key.

Interior of Chadstones, the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere.

Katoomba & the Blue Mountains

View of the Three Sisters, Blue Mountains World Heritage Centre, Katoomba, New South Wales. Picture was taken from the Echo Point. There are many lookout points in the Blue Mountains. Visitors can choose to hike, walk or drive along the scenic driveway. Roads are very winding and steep though.

How did the Three Sisters looked like? Well take a look at this:

"Come to mummy.."

The Jenolan Caves

Entrance to the Jenolan Caves, New South Wales vide the Grand Arch. Its like driving through a cave.

Cute ducks swimming...

Scenic lake at Jenolan Caves.

Waterfall at Jenolan Caves.

This is a limestone formation inside Lucas Cave, one of the many caves in the Jenolan Caves which you can explore (only with a guided tour). See the "Happy Bishop" on your left and "the Three Sisters" in the middle. Compare it with the picture above of the actual Three Sisters. Any resemblance?

The Chambers.

Cherry tree blossoms @ Gorvetts Leap, Blackheath.

Somebody tell me what's the name of this bird please?
