First day in Melbourne

Good day mates!

We are from Group A and we are currently in Melbourne, Australia. Today, we had plenty of chances to sight-see. We started off the day with visiting the Immigration Museum. It was an informative visit where we got to learn the history of Australia.
Next, was the amazing structure of St Patrick's Cathedral. It's so huge and magnificent that it was simply beautiful. It must have taken a lot of architectural talent and effort to build such a massive structure.



What got many of us excited next was the ice-cream van parked at Fitzroy Garden! We wanted to eat ice-cream despite the cold. The pretty, colourful flowers at the Conservatory made our ice-cream tasted better.

We went to ChilliPadi for lunch and it was cool because we never expected so many dishes at one go!

After lunch, we went to the Blue Dandenong Ranges National Park. We saw the Australian KingParrot, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo and the Crimson Rosella. We bought many souvenirs from there.

For dinner, we had Thai food at Alice's Thai and again there was so much food that we had to take-away the leftovers. Now we are here at Citigate Melbourne Hotel, sharing our day with all our friends and teachers.

We hope tommorow comes quick because we are going to see the penguins (not the kangaroos) come home.

Group A is Rinna, Hui Fang, Adam, Dayang, Jane, Peggy and Hwee Hwa with our teacher-in-charge, Ms Maz.
