Melbourne festivals

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 9:29 am

From Day dream Island hurriedly went all to Melbourne as we were quite eagerly expecting in some good airlines. Varied rates according to airlines. But competitive. A great city with more than 30 lakhs population but abodes it heavenly. Melbourne is an all-round city. It can be high art or city people passionate about fashion,football,cricket,tennis and other boutiques and even great theaters. Music is quite extra placed. There are eating hubs and restaurants.People are crazy for music. I am sure you would like to dive deep into its enjoyment and excellent variety par excellence.

Well, Melbourne is one of the important city in Australia.Its in south of Australia by map. But Melbourne possess quite unexpectable weather changes and phenomenon. Its freezing and wet chilly and winds blowing at 6 degree celcius to heat at more than 37 degree celcius. In fact its extreme unpredictable environment type. Don’t be surprised if you see all this on the same day! Anyway there are other soothing things for this.Like great parks and people.

Nothing but the truth that all of Australia is anything else than festival lovers and Melbourne in a way leads it. When it comes to festivals it hosts grand and parades and various things.I can make one record book for the festivals in Australia. People love celebrating those beautiful and numerous festivals grandly. They are tennis lovers too where Australian open takes place.A international championship tournament of tennis.There is Chinese new year too.For racing it has Australian formula one grand prix. Melbourne is food and wine festival is here. The start of football season is marked by Greek antipodes festival.Also they celebrate International flower and garden show and international comedy show too.

Victoria street lunar festival and St Kilda festival are popular.People have way to celebrate each and every festival.Now you can imaging they are having festivals for marking up beginning and ending and for hosting!So they seem to have exhaustiveness festival calender all year round.They have endless festivals they make upi for everything. The Hispanic celebrate here Hispanic community festival. There are many other international festivals on arts,film festivals,etc. And for me now listing them all won’t end up. So i am ending this festival lists here itself because the festivals lists is too long and varied. People of different communities and type live about here. City works out fairly well enough.

Now i think i should end up this posts for now.Tomorrow again with new experience on Melbourne from where i am writing from.A near by cyber cafe,well infrastructure and luxurious.I will withdraw some money through bank,as i had already had an account with international banks like HSBC, Deutsch bank and SBI of India too.Its important to have it while you are traveling too much.I have got travelers cheques too and master card.Hotel is near by and i am enjoying by with other mates and having lots of fun.

Sydney

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 3:15 pm

Sydney is heart of Australia.I had been with a tour company and thats why i will tell you what Sydney is so its helpful to you in you future tour.The packages vary and from India it is about RS.1.5 lacs to RS.2 lacs.Thats about US$4000.First of all from airport we were taken in a grand bus to hotel.A nice one with other mates company all way.Its fun to be in lovely Sydney.Buses run from Airport to Hotels of the city.Next day off to beach.

Bondi beach as it is called is a spectacular beach.A beautiful and magnificent lust of sand and water.At beaches you have stalls and shops too.Ice cream parlors,eatables like fish and various chips,designer and fashion shops,etc.A great fun at it with splashing of water.

Then we went to Art gallery at NSW which is near to Macquarie St. and has diversified and fixed display of old arts of 19th century.It opens at 10:00 am in morning and has visiting time till 5:00 pm in evening.It also has European, Asian art.Those are of 15th century to 19th century old and permanent there.We were back at hotel and had fine cuisine at hotel’s dine room,quite large.We had wide choice of best food and wine to eat.Next day was confined to opera house.

Now opera house is one of the place that has made a mark on my mind.The architecture is incredible.The best architectural monument if you notice is Opera house which has a dominant significance at Australian view.The interesting thing is its whole upon the sea.Here there are regular events and concerts,music likely to be more.Also a quite cafe center from where you can peacefully with your spouse watch the blue silent harbor and music going on. A special craft display,from where you can buy crafts is held on Sundays at opera house.

At evening we had planned to visit The Royal Botanical gardens,east of opera house established elegantly in 1816 which will open you to plant forms from south pacific region.This borders Farm cove here.Our bus passed from Harbour bridge which is an engineering skills display.No words to be describe its construction by best engineers.A long stiars will lead you to the bridge.Take a camera or handycam to picture this because i bet you won’t leave with taking a photo of this.

Tired and weary we returned to hotel,big hotel and A.C rooms with T.V facility.A bit expensive.

Turning to oceania

Filed under: Australia, Travel — Admin @ 10:54 am

I dont know what you think about australia and new zealand,but they are some best countries i have ever seen.Qantas is major australian airline and it provides very good service.No delays.cruises like star cruise has departure from mumbai,singapore,pattaya or hong kong to australian coasts.Sydney,gold coast…

But from australia too you have ships sailing to fiji islands,vanuatu,apia-samoa,cook islands,etc.New zealand is another natural beauty.Truly fantastic.Pollution free.Mounatins and snows all that.Star cruise offers holiday packages to travel there.Australia has that power to create artificial coasts.Cost of being there is not hefty.You can pretty settle down for a fortnight in $1000 easily.You can even get for $500.A worthwile experience.This i am telling in respect to fact that you live or traveling from south asia.

Travel New zealand

Filed under: Australia — Admin @ 6:35 pm

New zealand is one of the most preferred destination in south pacific and ocenia area and if you are upto Australia then i advise you not to look back for going to New zealand.It has one of the most admirable and breathe taking sceneric view in ocenia.The capital of New zealand is Wellington inspite of Aucland being the largest city.A mere population of 4 million(4,00,000) with Currency as New zealand Dollar NZ$.Here you are prone to do lots of out door activities specially like skiing,rafting in rivers,hiking,swimming,etc. and watch dolphins and whales and other beautiful marine life.Kiwi is new zealands national animal and here you will be exposed to large variety of flora and fauna.Evergreen forests prevail here and fantastic beaches which are most preferred during summer time.

        Summer time here starts from November to april where native childrens have holidays and there is inflow of tourists.So better to book in advance because its difficult to get priority during christmas especially.Even winters are good time.South island of new zealand has high speed winds during winters.Northern new zealand is bit mild than southern part.

         Auckland was my first destination.Wellington is connected with all international flights and even auckland.There are lots of glaciers and snow filled mountains.Snow fall is heavy in winter.Ski resorts like queenstown is full in summer.75% population is christian.More information in next article.Cook mountain is the highest mountain peak in new zealand.
