Its been a long time since I last blogged, have been rly busy or no motivation to blog at all... Will try my best to finish my Sydney and Melbourne trip... Ganbatte!!!
From the Jenolan Caves to the next destination is another long journey... Was busy sleeping in the car so did not take much photos haha...
Next destination is a town nearby for lunch! We went past this stretch of road with tall trees, isnt it pretty?

At first the plan was to go some famous asian cuisine restaurant to eat, however it was not open when we arrive, so we ended up at this thai restaurant... Its fully operated by locals there... They were having some live performance at that time...
Below are some dishes that we ordered...
After lunch, we had to rush to the next destination as we were running late... The next destination is the scenic railway. Its a famous tourist attraction with 2 cable cars, a railway and a walk way. As the sun sets at around 5 plus in winter, we had little time to spare...
After purchasing the entrance ticket, we only have 1 hour to take explore!!! First up, we decided to try the railway first... The scenic railway is the steepest railway in the world!!! Its 52° incline and is fast!!! Here is me and Shan... even though the railway haven start yet, I can already feel the steepness of it!
Managed to snap a picture while the railway is moving... Im already not on my seat and was clinging onto the metal netting on top... Rly freaks me out... Should have tried the upwards direction first instead of the downwards one...
Once we reach the bottom, we saw the famous three sisters!!!
Here is how the scenic railway look like... and its going upwards... less scary =X
There are some exhibits on mining history along the walkway.... here is the old railway used for mining in the old days... wonder how they survive without the netting above...hmm
Me and Shan all wrapped up lol...
My failed attempt to take photo with the three sisters =( the lighting is so bad
We can only take photo of it without humans...
A closeup view of it...
The next ride we took is the scenic cableway... which is upwards back to the original place where we took the railway...
As the sky is getting dark and the place is getting misty, we gave up on taking senery photos... =(
Here is Ben, Me and Shan!!!
Last photo taken at the entrance of scenic world!!! According to the guide there, it will snow at night... So we should leave the mountains asap... It was raining when we went to take our car, and before we knew it, the rain turned to ice!!! Thank god we r back in the car =X
We decided to go to this german bar at the rocks for dinner as it is the last night in Sydney =( ... my friend highly recommended their pork knuckle and pork belly... The place is called Lowenbrau... Here is the website: http://www.lowenbrau.com.au/
There was a live performance and they were singing german folksongs...
Here is the coke beer I ordered...
Shan's mango beer...
Here comes the pork belly...
Look at the juicy layer of meat under the crispy skin!!!
And of course the pork knuckle!!!
The best I have ever eaten!!! With extremely crispy skin and tender meat, its not oily at all!!! Lowenbrau is definitely a must-try!!!
After dinner, it also marks the last night in Sydney... Next day we will be flying to Melbourne... Stay tuned for more excited places in Melbourne!!!
