Cradle Mountain, tasmania

No doubt i can save some money on lodgings while travelling in oz, the cost of commuting still do make my wallet bleeds...even public transport..

yesterday i took a bus out of the city to Cradle Mt., some 3hours journey away, and it actually cost me $127 return, imagine travelling from KL to Penang to and fro and be paying some rm400, i would be better off flying! even if im entitled for a concessioned ticket, i would still be coughing out a hundred bucks...that's really pathetic...

nevertheless, the mountain was brilliant, surrounded by lush green vegetation and numerous lakes, and it happens to be one of the hottest days in tassie! around 17 degrees...

i farewelled with Dean not too long ago, he's going off to canada in three weeks time, then off to south america...geez, dun i wish i could do the same? but as he puts it, the world is no longer a huge place, and we are bound to bump into each other one fine day...

Im flying out of Launceston back to Melbourne later on, and my next pit stop is Merimbula, a nice coastal town south of NSW...

im actually looking forward to get to sydney asap, and to visit some relatives...its been a while since i last saw a family members, u dun wanna get too detached from blood relations, as im hanging out with foreigners for the most part...

if only the weather can get warm enough for me to hit the ocean...
