11.29 am - Reached Watsonia Station. Phew, the train would be arriving in 2 mins~
12.07 pm - Arrived at Southern Cross Station. Met my friend and asked for direction to the platform for V-Line service to Benalla Station.
12.20 pm - Boarded the train and found ourselves a seat.
12.33 pm - The train departed from Southern Cross Station and was moving slower than a snail. It picked up some speed later.... On the way, the permandangan cantik nian~!
Oh I like the cloud!
In contrast to the pic above, the cloud looked so heavy~Sorry the pics are blur - I took all these pics from the train while it was moving.....1.40 pm - Arrived at Seymour Station (don't you think it sounds like 死无 in cantonese? =p). This is a very old station in a very old town....To me, the town looks like those...err, 20s 30s cowboy town....~We had no idea what vehicle and how to and where to change service to Benalla Station. Ask ask ask.
It just looks old....doesn't it?
Didn't mean to take the photo of the uncle, but he just wouldn't move......
Only managed to snap one photo in the town, because we were rushing to the bus
2.05 pm - The bus departed. Cows, horses and lambs (ohhh my curry kambing~~) can be seen everywhere.....the scenery was quite good, for one moment (note: just for one moment), I thought I would stay at these places next time...running a farm, riding horses everyday, eating curry kambing or roast lamb until I got bored with lambs....
3.10 pm - Finally saw a town! An old town....
3.15 pm - Arrived at Benalla Station. The bus damn punctual la......=.=
3.20 pm - The person from Dookie College, called Gregor arrived (well, I had bad impression on people called Greg since last semester - I had an irresponsible subject coordinator called Greg for the subject Water for Sustainable Future~). But Gregor seemed quite nice~lol~There were 5 of us taking the bus to Dookie College.
Almost arriving at Dookie. It was so cloudy for whole day!
Can you see those black dots? They are all cows~2.35 pm - We're half way through Dookie campus, and Gregor received a call, telling him that there were 2 students still waiting at Benalla Station....=.= He had to gostan balik.........
4.15 pm - Reached Dookie College! Excited! The room was quite ok, a bed, a wardrobe, a mirror, a long table. After settling down everything, had a walk around the campus with my friend, and walked to the winery we're going to have BBQ later~The air was so fresh~the scenery is so pretty~~Oh, I think this campus is bigger than our main campus Parkville....after that, rested a while while waiting for dinner.
My room, and my bag~the colourful thing at the left was blanket, but I never use it....I think it's quite wat tat =p
Walked around the campus. It's just pretty isn't it? ^^
Ahh it was getting dark. So everything became dark with my crappy camera. But I think the effect wasn't bad~
Can you see the building there? It was the winery in the campus~
The winery, where we were going to have our dinner. You can see the BBQ thing there~
In the winery, lots of barrels filling with wines
And also the fermentor~
5.30 pm - Walked to the winery again. Ohh I'm starving...........But I didn't expect much for the BBQ - Aussie's BBQ are just frying sausages on pan, then eat with bread......
6.00 pm - Our lecturer asked us to try the white wine (there were a white and a red wine on each table...weird right?people usually serve soft drinks....=.=) while they were preparing. I took a sip, not bad~^^
6.10 pm - Finally~~~the sausages were ready! Very x10 happy to hear that the sausages were just entree~we're going to have steak and I forgot what they called, but it's like some burger 肉团 for main course. YAY! I was one of the first ones who "ran" to the sausages and grabbed one with bread~Ohh beef sausage tastes yummy! Well, maybe it's because I was starving, or maybe I had never tried a beef sausage before, or maybe it was really cold, therefore hot foods taste better~
The BBQ 肉团, salad and LOTS of coleslaw~YUMMY~^^ Oh I forgot to take the photo of the steak and sausage~
Yummy fruit salad~Everyone loves this~
I think this is Shiraz. I didn't know the wine names yet on Sunday, but if my memory served me well, it was Shiraz~Courtesy of Sam the winemaker.
7.00 pm - Very full! Had the steak, 肉团，and lots of salad and coleslaw, with some fruit salad for dessert~^^Oh, and had 5 glasses of wine - 2 whites and 3 reds~my face flushed~=p
Sorry, please bear with my chubby face. I just wanna show that my face was so red~
Wee~~after going back to my room, still red~My fingers were tingling when I was taking photo =p
After taking shower, still a bit red~
After shower, rested a while, and just went to bed. Tired!
