It’s my first time to celebrate Australia Day as an Australian this year. My Husband and I stayed indoors today but we had sausages (for the first time at home) for lunch to honor the day.

Last week, we had a relaxing short summer/anniversary/birthday getaway. For a change, we decided to chose country areas to explore instead of a city where we usually end up exhausted from lots of walking around and shopping.


This recent 3-day road trip was a myriad of breathtaking sceneries: luscious forests, desert-like beaches at a park (take note: it was a park with a beach with desert-like sand! see photo above), pretty lighthouses and beautiful beaches.



It was such a great experience as we learned more beautiful places in this country–and there’s still a lot! So we’ll take it one travel at a time.
I’ll share more about the things we saw during our travel soon (I’m currently busy watching the Australian Open). In the meantime, I wish everyone had a fun-filled and safe Australia Day. To the rest of the world, hope you’re having a great week! Smile!

    I first learned from a morning show that it’s Australia Day today. Btw, the statue on the last photo is a mixture of cuteness and weirdness (I had to figure out who is he. Heehee.

    Hi Ibyang!

    I wonder if you realized that you just executed an “arabesque” (A balletic movement with one leg stretched in the air behind the other) in the last pic?!

    Happy Australian Day to you!

    one picture reminded me of a picturesque pagudpod– the patapat viaduct. but the aussie version has a sidewalk for people to be in in case they want to take a peek of the spectacular seaside. ๐Ÿ˜›
