Absent posts

I haven’t written a post in a long time. I really have no excuse other than trying to keep up with uni work, doing assessments and in my spare time drinking  socialising.

I did however find a lovely cafe to catch up on readings. I was having a wander up Degraves street looking for  quiet spot with outdoor seating so I could enjoy the quickly sporadic Melbourne sun. Degraves street however is super busy and bustling its a fantastic atmosphere and I love spending time exploring the wonderful cafes and bars but I took a turn up Manchester lane and came across Kuaizi bar. it’s a quiet little bar/restaurant/coffee place I took a seat outside and orders a flat white. As my very first flat white ever It was good! (skinny capp no chocolate is my usual) At $4 for a large it’s cheaper than the cafe in the university and has fantastic atmosphere. I would like to come back for some food and a cocktail they look pretty exciting and reasonably priced.

 

Grampians trip

So another trip with RMIT Recreation. We went to the Grampians and saw the beautiful sights! The Grampians are named after the Scottish Grampians because when discovered its said that they looked similar! I have to say that Scotland dose have some wonderful scenery but it is not similar at all! The trees the lakes the waterfalls here are fantastic but totally different to Scottish scenery. I do however have to take more day trips outside of Glasgow and see the sights home has too offer.

The mountain ranges had some lakes nestled in. Something i’ve never knew could happen.

We saw one of the waterfalls that where abasloutly tranquil! but it was half a kilometre of stairs all the way back up to the mini bus a good workout but I was totally unready for it.

Our last stop was a 2k easy hike/walk to the top of one of the mountains but unfortunately at the top it was way too foggy to see the view so no photo 😦 but I liked the red sand path (so Australian!) and rocky dry lake on the way up!

 AAnd finally on our last stop we saw some wild kangaroos that ate the grass right out of your hand. it was my favroite part of the trip I never thought I’d get the chance to pet a kangaroo never mind feed a wild one! It was super lucky!!

The Grampians was a really good trip but I would like to go again when its sunny day for a whole weekend because there is so much to see and do. If you love to hike and walk then it is the trip for you. There is also so many Insta opportunities!

Melbourne bike tour

  
Another fun day out with RMIT recreation. We met up at the new bike lockers and got a pick of some funky urban bikes! 

The tour took us to Melbourne museum, the boticincal gardens, up the Yarra river, and to a lovley coffee place.  

Here’s a route map! We also got lunch provided as well as the coffe and for $10 that’s a pretty good deal! The sights where lovley and I got to see Melbourne in a whole new way. There’s another tour with a whole new route on the 26th of April that I’m going to do again because I had so much fun. If you want to join me you can book it here.
 

Wilsons prom

I visited Wilsons promontory this weekend and it was amazing! RMIT recreation had a trip planned and it was only $60 to attend. I met some great people, saw some amazing sights went on a couple of hikes, climbed Mt. Bishop and walked along the squeaky beach!! There is no words for the beauty of this place! even though it wasn’t a very clear day it was still so gorgeous we saw some wild kangaroos and emu but sadly no wallabies.

My advice is wear proper shoes! I wore cheap flats and totally destroyed my feet also I got my first mossy bites ouch and super bad sunburn even though it wasn’t sunny! Be more prepared than me please.

  

Wilsons Promontory is one of Victoria’s national parks. We got a tour guide that took us on walks to see the granite headlands, mountains, forests, the squeaky beach and bushwalking! Its amazing that the park has so many different landscapes in one place.

 Here’s some photos I really recommend a visit yourself. Its only a 2.5hr drive outside of Melbourne and Ive heard that its a great spot to camp. I would definitely go back, camping here sounds amazing! I can’t imagine what the sunsets would look like. If your a RMIT student here is the trips and tours website to go on some adventures yourself but even if your not with the uni the trips open up to non RMIT students sometimes so keep your eye out. #explormit
