Central Oz trip in 2008

We waited overnight in Burwood computer lab till 4am, and we get in the bus in Burwood in the first day. Then, we slept in the bus.

The first day, in the bus...



First destination. Coober pedy. The world largest Opal Mine. There are about 40+ of different nationalities living here.

The way to underground where the mining job doing.


We live here for one day. This place looks like prison huh? lol.


In a "Room". 4 Double Bunk in a "room".



This is a very famous building in Australia. The first person who invented flying doctor service.

night view of our tents. It's about 15 tents, and 2 persons in a tent. Sorry, it's a bit dark.


Brighter version. Christine and Kaili 's tent, Stephen and my tent, Kiong and Henry 's tent.


Setting up tent near Ayers Rock


Yea, my tent. Number 17. ;)


Unloading the sleeping Mac and Chairs.


Ayers Rock in the evening. Beautiful...


Stephen, me, Christine, KaiLi, Kiong and Henry

Interesting cicak. Its tail looks alike as its head. This is its way to protect itself. Because it runs really slow.

Heavy Hydra. Kai Li was scared. XD


Malaysian Gang. Kai Li, Stephen, Henry, Me, Christine and Kiong


In the middle of the desert. The Oglas is just behind us.


Closer view of The Oglas


Wind valley. We spent about 3 hours to walk around here. (in groups)

Kiong, Christine, Henry, Stephen and me (Sunny day~~)

Me, Christine, KaiLi, Henry, Stephen and Kiong (in the front). We took a picture before walking around the Oglas.


Closed... because of strong wind. How sad.. T_T So, we can only walk around the Oglas



Guess what? Ants! Moving to a new place i think. We jumped over them because they were in the middle of our way.





This is actually the last day of the trip. we bought a group cloth. Just five of us. Pretty cool huh? :D


Henry, me and Kiong
Christine. In the train. On the way back. Suddenly has the feeling she looks like mother. LOL!


On the way back to Geelong.


The oldest one, she is our cook. Pretty nice person, and she likes our Asians as well as we always help her in setting up for her cooking stuffs and wash dishes.

Hot Air Ballooning in Alice Spring in the morning


We had a dinner in a very interesting PUB. Different types of decorations. Car, bikes, short guns, famous old liquors, funny toilets... nice meals. =)


Group photo in Alice Spring Simpson's Gap. Funny post. lol.

This is really a good trip. Nice cook, nice driver, nice friends. All are being nice We talk together, play games together, gossip with each others, sing together, joke together, eat together, drink together in Pub, walk together.... Even they feel sad together before separating to our own ways... Good experiences earned e.g. cooking, sleeping in tents everyday during the trip, sitting in the bus for hours, big different of weather in desert... Again, nice trip. Worth of it. =)
