Eastern Australia Trip. Day 8 : Moreton Islands

It would rather a short stay in Moreton Island, considering a lot of things you can do. From snorkeling around the dramatic shipwrecks, to the sand tobogganing in the desert.

We only enticed with the dolphin feeding program, other than we had the desert experience last year. We had to depart for Brisbane at 1.30-ish. Nu'man insisted to swim in the sea that morning, despite non-stop raining since yesterday. I just followed his wished.

We hopped in to the photo shop to check whether our's are ready to pick up. The resort provide official professional photographer to capture that precious moment. Little that we know about the Tinkerbell's dolphin family, until we got out pictures. We took pictures with Betts and Calypso on 1st encounter, Echo and Nari, next!



Only big apartments get the sea view room, but we don't need that space!

Once arrived at Pinkenba, we drove to Fortitude Valley and check-in to Terrace in Gregory Apartments. It was located near to the Rydges Hotel, where my wife will be presenting her paper in the 10th International Conference on Computer and Automation Engineering conference.

Nice and cozy living room

So, here we in Brisbane, the last stop for our trip eastern Australia. That evening, we just stayed in our apartment while my wife prepared for conference presentation in two days time.

Location: Moreton Island, Australia

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.
