Travel to Canberra

- Airasia X -

28-5-2014 (Wednesday) - Early morning 4.30am, my brother, mother and sister fetch me go to KLIA2 airport - a new airport). First time, I sat Airasia X and it took 8 hours to Sydney airport (10am to 8.05pm). While waiting the flight depart, suddenly a woman come toward me. "Can you help me to take photo?". And, then we start to chat and get to know each other. We has "缘分" and we sat together in flight too. My flight seat is 30 and her seat is 31 (She change her seat from 40 to 31).While sleeping, suddenly she wake up me. "You must drink some water!", she said and she give a cup of mineral water. She gave me a "八卦" so that I have a safe journey to Canberra. I feel great as she really nice to me. After 8 hours, we reached in Sydney aiport. Due to the last bus to Canberra is 8.15pm, so I try to catch up the next day bus. And, I overnight at airport. 8 hours without meal, it times for me to hunt some food here. I had Mc Donald dinner. The price of the Mc Donald is same with Malaysia. The price is different due to the currency - the symbol of money.

29-5-2014 (Thursday) - Early morning 7.15am, I took the bus Murrays go to Canberra, Jolimont centre. It took 3 hours and 30 minutes to reach Canberra, a capital city of Australia. Many people feel that Sydney is the capital city of Australia, but actually the correct answer is Canberra. I felt very excited, and I can't wait to meet my best friend, Amy. Yes, she is waiting me at the Jolimont centre there. We had our lunch at Woden shopping centre. After lunch, we go to buy some grocery at Coles.

- Koala at National Zoo & Aquarium -

- Bible Fellowship Church -

2-6-2014 (Monday) - Once come to Australia, the things I can't to miss it - Koala and Kangaroo. We went to visit the National Zoo & Aquarium (entrance fee - adult $38, open 10am - 5pm daily). Yeah, finally, I saw Koala. Why people always called Koala Bear? But, Koala is not a bear. Why Koala hugging trees? It helps koalas to keep cool. According to scientist, a male Koala as a "buck" and female as a "doe". A baby koala is called a "joey".  Sad, the times we visited, the kangaroo and penguin is not available. Next activity, after having dinner, we went to church again as my friend teach children about the bible. The children are active and cute. [Matthew 11:28-30] "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

- Wild Kangaroo at Namadgi National Park -

3-6-2014 (Tuesday) - As I mentioned before, I can't miss it - kangroo. My friend is very nice. She try to search the best place to see the Kangaroo. Finally, we choose Namadgi National Park ( a place which is far from swinger hill). "No matter how far the place is, as long as the place has kangaroo, and make you satisfy. I willing to bring you." Thanks Dear. You are my great friend!. The road is narrow. "Up down", "Up down"..Yahoo, just like sitting roller coaster. I feel that your driving skills is more better. Where kangaroos? We can't see the kangaroos, but a lot of sheep and cow at roadside. "Don't worry, you may see the kangaroos later (99.99% of chances).", the officer said. Suddenly, we saw a kangaroo cross by the road. "Jump, Jump, Jump..."Wow, so many kangaroos looking at me while I looking at them. :) HAPPY!
