Australian Day Getaway

Last weekend, it was a long weekend as it was Australia day on Monday (Australia Day tue hari merdeka dorg). So, it was a 3 days break. Yahoo!!. As I don't want to spend my holiday staying at home doing nothing, I rented a car and did some traveling. At first, I want to go to Canberra as ciktie kate bosan I changed the plan to Sunshine Coast. In the end, ciktie can't join as she have to work.

On Saturday, me and Hana went to pick up the car at Valley where luck was on our side. If not, we couldn't get a car as it was out of stock already. Once we got the car, we were wondering where to go then we decided to go to Byron bay as both of us haven't been there yet. We drove south stopping at Twin  Town before headed for Byron Bay.

We went to the lighthouse at Byron bay where the view was MasyaAllah..so spectacular and breathtaking. Seriously lawa giler. The water was so clear that we can see sharks and rays. But the weather was killing us, it was sooo hot.

Then we went to crystal castle at Mulumbimby after it was recommended by this lady. It was pure disappointment. I thought it was like a real castle coated with crystal but it turn out to be a garden with lots of Buddha statues. We even had to pay $10 for the entrance fee. It was not worth it at all.

The next day, we started the journey at 7am with another friend, Ella. So the 3 of us first head to Glasshouse Mountain, where the scenery was so peaceful and so mind relaxing. As we were there early, there's still some morning mist on the mountains which adds to the relaxness (ade ke perkataan nie?hehe). 

 

Then we got lost in a maze at Tanawha. the maze was like the one in Harry Potter 4 except that it was not that high. It was tiresome getting lost in the maze but we enjoyed it. 

 

Later on, we had lunch on the beach where the sun was directly on our head. Seriously no wonder Qld has the highest rate of skin cancer. The sun was killing me. The last destination was Noosa heads where we didn't stay long as everybody was tired and don't want to stay out in the sun for that long.

So, we head back to Brisbane stopping at Ettamogah Pub on our way to take photo.

This ends our journey for the long weekend.
Till next time~
