Last but not Final...

Second day started off kinda early as we decided to travel west, to the beaches and then South to Victor Harbor.

First we get to Henley Beach, again, one of the shot scene for Triumph In The Skies which the beach strecthes a few kilometres long with white sand and comfy sea breeze.
Then from there, we get onto the freeway and here goes the long journey down north....

Long boring freeway.. pity the driver

Upon reaching Victor Harbor, we were amazed by the remarkable view but, first we have to feed ourselves. Grabbed some fish & chips. The chips seems to be too much for us, thus, decided to feed the sea gulls too! and they are hungry! Once started feeding, you cant escape with more than 40(i bet) of them approaching you and staring at you! haha..

After feeding, Sea Gulls anyone?

Approximately 55 minutes, we completed the round-the-island trail.. stunned by magnificent views.. Time to move on..
Here comes to Hindmarsh Island, Goolwa, where the Murray Mouth is.. Murray Mouth is an opening the meeting point between the sea and several major rivers through SA. Found this lonely jetty interesting...

First Day of Travellin'

A bunch of juniors came to Adelaide and we decided to take this opportunity to tour around Adelaide.. further away from the weighted axis in the city. We decided to rent a car to fit all 6 of us and go travelling!

Two days of tour started off north to Parafield Airport, where all the flying schools are. Remember the Hong Kong TVB serials Triumph In The Skies? A few flying scenes are shot here...

Think of flying? think of Parafield Airport!!



We walked in one of the flying academy was thinking to ask someone to bring us and show us around.. however there were noone at the info counter.. thus we just walk around ourselves... but before we leave, i managed to catch a glimpse of a "learn to fly" rate. $160/hr . Yes. =)

Well, after that, the journey continued to the hilly areas.. Barossa Valley where the most of the vineyard are. C'mon, South Australia is a state of wine and festival !!

One of the vineyard we visited, Charles Merson Vineyard.



On the way to vineyard visits, we managed to pass by a dam, Whispering Wall they called it as voice/sound can travel from one end of the dam to the other so clearly as if the person is just right in front of you. Furthermore the scenery is just... fantastic.

The day ended with everyone as good as dead. But a bigger day is just right ahead!
