I am sharing again, some photos from Melbourne. This was our 2nd weekend. It was really hot that day but who cares. we only got few weekends to enjoy Melbourne.

Shrine of Remembrance

The Shrine of Remembrance is a Melbourne icon and Victoria’s premier memorial to those who have served the nation in armed conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Dedicated in 1934 to commemorate First World War veterans, the Shrine features additional monuments, such as the Second World War Memorial and other monuments around the reserve.

Royal Botanical Garden

RBG Map

The Royal Botanic Gardens in  Melbourne has been a treasured part of Melbourne’s cultural life for over 160 years. Extending over 38 hectares, the gardens house an amazingly diverse collection of over 10,000 species of plants from around the world, including rare and threatened species.

Luna Park, Melbourne

Luna Park has excited and delighted Melbourne families for generations.

Walk through the jaws of the Laughing Clown at the entrance of Luna Park Melbourne and you enter an amusement park which offers fun for every member of the family. Melbourne’s Luna Park has been open since 1912. The amusement park continues to draw large crowds and is extremely popular with all age groups. Anyone looking for a bit of fun will find something to put a smile on their face at Luna Park.

St. Kilda’s Beach

This dog seem to enjoy the beach

St Kilda is a bayside suburb. It is located on one of the more picturesque points of the Bay, just a short distance from the city. It has clean safe sandy beaches. St Kilda is a remarkable place which is a favourite for visitors to Melbourne Australia and locals alike.

of course to end the day, we did it with a jump!

 Would like to thank R  for sharing his photos here. Pre ang galing mo talaga! Please do visit his flickr

I know, I know, it’s been a month since my last update. I was so lazy to blog… booh!!! But the great thing is my blog mojo is back!!!yipeee!

Since I wasn’t able to really blog about my 6 weeks Melbourne stay, let me share some of my favorite photos that I will always cherish.

The very time the plane landed on Melbourne, my collegues and I just throw our luggage and off to explore the Waterfront city, Dockland.

Marina

The Marina at Waterfront City is the largest Marina in Melbourne with publicly accessible moorings. Stroll along boardwalks, wide promenades and public piers, while water taxis run shuttle services from the inner city and suburbs.

Watercity Front also has a shopping centre.

We almost got tempted to do shopping but since we went a bit late, shops were already closed but promised to go back to shop.

Ayan oh SALE!!!!

Aside from shopping, this mushroom like structure caught my attention

The mushroom structure at night. So lovely

You can enjoy roaming the place with this blue bikes.
A great way to travel around Melbourne. Melbourne Bike Share is another alternative of public transport, designed for short trips across the city.

these bikes are for hire by the way, they have annual subscription of 50AUD and a 2.50AUD per day. Galing noh?

We were there also so witness the sunset.

So lovely

And to wrapped the day, we did our jump shot! 1…2…3….Jump!!!!

It was  a happy 1st day at Melbourne!

Wait there are more photos to post. Stay tuned.

Finally, an update after getting here in Melbourne.

My first week here was really great. It’s summer here but in the morning it gets really cold, a bit hot in the afternoon and breezy in the evening. I have not really explore the city but on our first day here, I was able to experience their city circle, a free tourist tram running around the central business district.

As I was saying, we took the  tram and headed to Dockland for these;
