touch 'n' go Trip Part 1

Life is too mainstream
try something out of the mainstream
may lead you to different experiences

this autumn mid-semester break
Me and friend decide to go for a road trip
starting on Brisbane -- Melbourne (about 2000++km)

Day 1-Brisbane 
one thing that I would like to mention about this city is
the expenses for the public transportation is kinda high!!!!!!
after getting off from Virgin
ps: the seats of virgin is comfortable than others airlines that I took before....
first stop at XXXX brewery

every visit provide 4 drinks of beer with your "beer passport"

Next we went up to Mt. Coot-tha
a place with Brisbane city view on top of mountain
is a simple place to calm down over a stress environment
but don't forget to catch the last bus to get back to city at 4.15pm

day view of city

Frankly speaking... I not really like the city of Brisbane

is too complicated 

people there are not really friendly

most of them show black face walking along the street

night view of Brisbane CBD

 Day 2 - Brisbane -- Byron Bay -- Coffs harbour
Today we get our vehicles of journey
is something like a lorry
but with kitchen, bed and toilet
can also known as mobile home (photo attached below)

preparing lunch of the day

typically beach pose

Bryon Bay 

nothing much special 

is a nice place if you wish to swim or go for some water activity

After Byron bay there is a wild life park

with castle theme

they sell yummy pancakes and ice-cream

do stop by and have a try 

but remember that kitchen closed on 3.30pm 

First dinner on the camper van

Coff Harbour holiday park

Due to the long journey with short time

we didn't visit much places

just stop over at some little town for a break

ps: highway in Australia are not like what we had in Malaysia

there is no street light 

and is difficult to drive at night specially on the road from Byron bay to Coffs Harbour 

i would say it is a small road rather than a highway

 Day 3- Coffs Harbour --> Newcastle --> Sydney
wake up in the early morning
cause is too cold in the car with a small blanket
is good to bring warmer clothing when travel in cold weather
cold weather during night time will mess up your day

Here we go continue or journey
We aims to travel 600km

Whole POT of tomatoes pasta for lunch

Is autumn now
day is shorter than summer
yet shop close early
so we decide to stop over at Newcastle for a break

Newcastle ocean bath 

ignore my panda eyes

The open ocean "pool" was cool
don't forget to bring your swim wear if you have a chance to visit there
there is also some historical places to visit around Newcastle

Pie on the wheel

Try out the pie
sort of special topping and is yummy

On the night of the day
we stop over at Sydney to recharge ourselves

Sydney hill holiday parks

 Day 4 -Sydney -- Kangaroo valley -- Albury 
Along the road from Sydney to Albury
is good to stop over at Kangaroo valley
although you need another 30km driving
but is worth to do so......

Have deep breath toward the country life
bring your own food there
and find a suitable place
chills with friends or family

the oldest wooden bridge @Kangaroo Valley

you can also try the ordinary duck sausages
at Bistro One46

Along the road from kangaroo valley towards Albury 

In my opinion there is not much place to visit 

you can only see lot of cows, sheep, and horses 

along the highway

Is the last night sleep over in the camper van

party time

as to clear off the food we brought 

dinner of on the camper van of day 

ops! forgot to list down where we stop over
at Albury citygate holiday park
is a bit scary and quite during the night
due to the green and dim yellow light setting
but overall is not bad
