Next day started off good, as I had to meet Jenny at St Spencer. I reached there on time, but she was late as she misunderstood St Spencer to Flinders St Station. I didn’t had any choice but to wait, so to pass the time, I started to wander here and there, walked around huge metal Christmas tree, just across the street. She finally arrived after two hours. Waiting was not at all bad, but boring! After spending whole day talking and roaming the city, I spend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday too, in same way exploring the city with Jenny.  The city looked pretty cleaned and nice to me. But because of the traffic, we had to always walk. The traffic was horrible but had fun pushing people out of way.

To reach Central Business District, downtown was never a problem for me as I used to catch free tram that passed by my hostel. So wherever I needed to go, I would take this tram. I liked the parks and gardens around here; they are so clean and green. The Treasury Gardens, next to the Parliament, are great to pass time. I spend my morning, lying down under a tree, watching the historic architectural building of Parliament and birds around! It was actually relaxing. I don’t remember where I ate sushi, it was really tasty! I might I had had sushi at somewhere around a movie theater. I know there are so many movie theaters, but sorry guys, I couldn’t recall it.

Do you know what is the strangest thing in this city – it is the pay phones! The phone cost $0.40 for a call and it is timed. But when the time is up, it just disconnects abruptly. It is so frustrating when you are on a call, and it gets disconnected without warning. It happened three or four times while talking to Jenny… I hate these pay phones!

Done roaming within the city, Jenny and me got out of the city and headed towards the Great Ocean Road. It is situated 100 kilometers south-west to the Melbourne. The place was so beautiful and mesmerizing. The Bells beach was our first stop. Everything about that place – rocks and waves – was fantastic!! Thank god I had my bathing suits, without waiting any longer, I took off my clothes and was about to dive into the water and stopped! The water was freaking cold! So I end up walking along the shoreline. Though, it was fun! And for night, we decided to spend it at nearby camping site in swag. It was cool and reasonable actually. To sleeping, there provided sleeping bags made up of canvas so it does not get wet. There I even tasted a kangaroo’s steak, killed by the same guys who were cooking it. The steak tasted as any steak. I don’t know why, I liked it! In night, it started raining there and temperature also dropped. It was very cold and you could hear the raindrops so clearly. I don’t know about other people, but I slept like a baby in that sleeping bag. Just one thing was circling in my mind, I should not get wet!

Next day we headed to Grampian Mountain range through Warrambool to the north. The Grampians Mountain is primarily made of sandstones and is a tourist’s destination. It gets the actual shape of a sequence of low-angled sandstone crests, running from the east to the north south. The sedimentary crests in the area have deformed in the western areas; it presents a vertical but impressive view of the sandstones ridges from the northern tip. There is stayed at the Halls Gap in Banffish town. At campground was filled with many kangaroos. We even fed them bread, we were not supposed to, but this was the only way to see them face to face. The entire hour was fun! At night, we went to this little restaurant and they were such money suckers! Just for having a ketchup packet, they charged us $0.25. Can you imagine – $0.25 for a small ketchup packet! Jesus! That night in Halls Gap we came to know the water is not good to drink. Later, jenny and I decided to make regular tea – usually made during camping – to save money, Jenny asked the hotel staff; the staffs were fine about us making the tea. So that was quite ok, as they did not have drinking water.

Next day we got up early and went for trekking on the mountain of Pinnacle. The trek was of two and a half hour. It was very adventurous, as we had to actually jump from rock to rock in order to reach our destination. When we reached up, we all were huffing and puffing. After catching our breath and seeing the view at such a top of the mountain, we got charged up. Clicked many photos with weird poses and left after an hour. While coming down it was scarier as I slipped many a times on rocks and somehow maintained my balanced. I even rolled my ankle. After reaching down, Jenny turned to me searching her pant’s pockets and said in tensed voice, “Oh my god, I forgot car keys up there”, pointing to the mountain, “we have to go up again and get it.” I was like hell no! My ankle was paining badly and thinking of going up again and coming down it really pissed me off. Suddenly smile came on Jenny’s face, which showed me that she lied. Still I was mad on her and didn’t talk to her all way to the hotel.

How can I stay without talking to Jenny anyways!

Had fun exploring the Victoria region and the picturesque beach, trekking on the mountain, sleeping in swag and eating kangaroo steak, everything was exciting and new experience for me. There is more to explore in and out Melbourne. Till then wait for my next article.

Being the Australia’s most loved and photographed landmark, it’s also the world’s widest steel arch bridge which is one hundred and thirty-four meters above the harbor. Being officially opened in 1932, the bridge celebrated its seventy-eighth birthday in 2009.

In 1915, Francis Greenway proposed to build a bridge across the harbor shores. But the work of designing on paper was delayed till 1900. However after World War One, the work again started and rough design was made by Dr J.J.C Bradfield and other officers of NSW department of Public Works. Later the New South Wales Government invited many international contract tenders but it was given to English company known as Dorman Long and Co of Middlesbrough.

The night view of the bridge is magnificent. During festivals, the bridge is the center of attraction where beautiful fireworks take place and the whole bridge comes alive! And if you want some adventure try bridge climbing, it’s just thrilling and fantastic! In 1998, Bridge Climb got started where more and more tourists got. These tourists are thrill-seekers and want something to remember forever about Sydney. The walk against force of wind to the top of the fifty storeys high is a heart-pumping experience! The whole experience will leave you mesmerizing! The climbing tour is organized tour by group of climbers. You can go for night climb too on the bridge.

At the foot of the bridge is situated a small historical town known as Rocks. It is recognized as birthplace of Sydney. In 1788 the colony of Rocks was formed. It got its name as Rocks because of most of the buildings are made up of local sandstones. Initially it was a slum area mostly visited by sailors and prostitutes. Later in 1800, it was dominated by a gang till 1870’s. Now you will find there many cafes, restaurants and hotels and old pubs. Among the area, most significant historic structures are the Hero of Waterloo Inn, the Sydney Observatory, Cadman’s Cottage, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Merchants’ House, Garrison Church and Susannah Place.

Abel Tasman National Park:

This is the most renowned national park which experiences visits of large number of crowds. Lying at the coastal area, it is easily accessible and sprawls to an extensive range towards the northern end ranging in marble and limestone hills enlarging from Kahurangi National Park. The interiors of park are honeycombed with caves and potholes. There are various trails lined up in the park, one of them is an inland route, even though the Coast track is one of the favorites which brings in flocks of tourists.

Auckland:

The city of volcanoes, with ridges of lava flows forms its own main path. Most of its cones render islands of green within the sea of suburbs. As it is the largest city, it is rich in culture and a cosmopolitan city in New Zealand. There is a massive Asian community that rubs its shoulders with the biggest Polynesian population of any city of the world.

The native kiwi’s ambitions to discover an autonomous house on a quarter acre section has triggered even much better results and created a sprawling grandeur city. The CBD has been long ago discarded for commercial purposes and inner-city apartment living has caught up. As the geographical land has been promising, there are no restrictions over construction, which has left the heart of city with architectural shame. If you want to explore the beautiful facet, then tour in the rows of Victorian and Edwardian villas located in its inner-city suburbs.

Fox glacier:

Crowned the name after ‘Sir William Fox’, New Zealand’s Prime Minister in 1872, this frozen snow land is worth a visit, even if you have glanced the scenic Franz Josef Glacier. Roam alongside the fascinating lake Matheson and get lost in the mesmerizing glacier linked attractions like glacier walks. Or simply, grab fun by watching flights and tourists wearing thermals.

Raglan:

This enchanting spot is popular for its surfing adventures; it is tiny enough to evade the mass development, possibly because the kiwis choose to have a secured white sand east coast beaches. However, don’t worry it is big enough and affords lot of retreating activities. Also, the key attractions like good eateries and bars allure some well-known summer bands. It is perched to the south of the Raglan Harbor (Whaingaroa), and the alongside beaches brings in flocks of international tourists that come for taking breaks from the hustle bustle of the routine lives. The legendary flick of 1964 featuring Bruce Brown named ‘The endless summer’ was shot in Manu Bay. Also, the harbor is exciting as it offers for adventurous activities like kayaking and swimming.

Cherishing The Moments In New Zealand – Part I

Cherishing The Moments During Best New Zealand Tours – Part II

Under the rule of Prime Minister Helen Clark’s leadership, the country maintained its pacifist, anti-nuclear policy and retained the possession of New Zealand’s troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, the country is treading firmly on the affluent track as it possesses thriving art forms and the domestic front continues to be cheerful. Even, unemployment has not been pestering issue to anyone. The ongoing effect of a 2006 minimum wage rise has led to a pricking increase in the goods and services cost. Travelers have been enduring the swelling prices of accommodation, food and transportation costs which means New Zealand is far from being a budget destination.

New Zealand’s real estate prosperity persists to win the hearts of sellers and irks the buyers because of the escalating rates. However, elevating house prices have stabilized with the elevating interest rates, but the wages seem to be lowering in these rising trends. Because of this, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington have tracked in the world’s most expensive cities in terms of housing affordability in relation to income.

Other issues which are mounting kiwi’s irritating charts are fixed-net fishing which is posing a threat for the lives of dolphins, exasperating treaty settlements and didymo a.k.a. ‘rock snot’ influx in rivers and lakes. You won’t get anyone fighting on petrol prices…

Now you have come to know the contemporary New Zealand concisely, but believe me excursion in New Zealand will mark its memories in your heart and stay cherished for a lifetime. Get out of your hustling fast pacer lives and enter this world-class location where you will come across beautiful locations, chick lifestyle and top-notch cuisines, wine and beer. And the most alluring eye-candy of New Zealand is its natural ambiance which is a peerless, magnificent and perfect beauty. The scenic view of this landscape is mesmerizing; don’t forget to capture this photogenic beauty.

Cherishing The Moments In New Zealand – Part I

The year 2007 experienced an inundation of nearly 2.2 million tourists, who wandered, viewed, dined in the country. The escalating level was tremendous as it saw a rise of almost 40% from a comparatively low 1.6 million in the year 1999. But all these didn’t actually prove to be beneficial as the country’s renowned characteristics lost its charm because of surge of large number of tourists. Popular for its sensitive conservation of the eco-system and perseverance of cleanliness, all this got infected because of the wilderness passion of the tourists who just do not take care while dealing with nature.

The horizon above the Franz Josef Glacier hums with repetitive air flights, tourists cleanse down under the brooks and little negligence by its inhabitants developed because the tourists’ large crowds has worked negatively and spoiled New Zealand’s scenic beauty. Therefore to put an end to all this exploitation, Department of Conservation (DOC) imposed a booking system in its Great Walks. There are nine tracks amidst which few of them are Milford Track, Abel Tasman Coast Track and Routeburn Track. Virtual advantages of this implementation are that it will lessen overcrowding and the most significant that it will lessen the destruction triggered over the environment.

The New Zealand Tourism Sector is thriving apparently what is visible to us now, shows that they are endeavoring efforts for the benefit of ecological system. The eateries, locals, farmers sell local produced stuff which hints towards a sustainable model. However, the professional environmentalist’s views contradict the above point as they enter into a moot point that the industry and government are not moving fast enough to serve environment. And the drought and climate change accelerate their allegations.

Moving towards the country’s art forms, its live music is exhilarating which comprises of various music forms like dub, hip-hop, rock and reggae. However, its radio remains to be abysmal. Culturally, debate takes a kick-off between two sections of the society i.e. pro and anti arts lobbies. One section sees it with complete disgust as if they would destroy an art gallery if found open and another sees it as a symbol of cultural celebration for community and tourism. If you would turn towards me for my views, I would support it as it manifests the country’s culture and perspective and is an essential aspect that holds charm to allure the tourists.

Lake Wakatipu:

Placed in the royal town of ‘Queenstown’ in New Zealand, Lake Wakatipu stretches to elongation of 291 square kilometers in terms of area and is 80 kilometers in length. Affording a postcard view, it is truly the most striking and magnificent beauty that New Zealand possesses. Lake Wakatipu shelters three towns on its shores, the fortunate towns are Queenstown, Glenorchy and Kingston. Truly, aren’t they lucky enough that they get to reside besides the longest Lake of New Zealand? Also, above the southern end of the lake lies the fabulous mountain range tower.  The Lake Wakatipu is an enthralling multi-treat for the eye sight which offers scenic view of the mountain ranges. Take a swim in the waters for calming your exhausted body or simply play with water.

Lake Tekapo:

Settling in the hub of Mackenzie country, this is a spectacular marvel with exceptional view. This lake grants a superb turquoise-blue look and this lake derives enchanting characteristic from the mountains that bring in minerals through trails of glaciers. As this lake is glacier fed, all the essence flows in from the side-by Mountains. By the southern side of the lake, exist a settlement community of Lake Tekapo.

The town of Wanaka lies by the southern side of the Lake Wanaka. This is a perfect town for the ever-struggling individuals who run in the fast pacer life. This small town is paradise for quaint-seekers who desire serenity and positive resonances from their inner selves. Also, this enticing town is fast emerging in the eyes of the masses and rapidly experiencing tourists because of its positive traits. Perhaps, in the next few years, it may occupy the spot of Queenstown as every visitor is charmed by the town’s influential magnetism which makes it over crowded. So, people rebound to the town of Wanaka for a 2-hour drive, seeking gentle calmness.

Lake Matheson:

Placed in the west coast of Southern Islands of New Zealand, this lake affords some superb views and gives a comprehensible mirror image of Mt. Cook, which possesses the cachet of being the highest mountain of Australasia. In addition, it even bequeaths picturesque view, but fortune is not always in a generous mood of providing the scenic view easily. Due to the west coast monsoon weather, it actually becomes vexed condition to catch the stunning view. Yet, if you are earnestly eager for getting a glance and can afford to wait, so do that, because you can grab a magnificent sight to behold, just like it is printed on a postcard scenic preview and you will remember it for your lifetime.

This lake can be approached by the town Fox Glacier, which is located on the west coast; also an easy 15-minutes drive will give you a trouble-free way to the lake.

Lake Pukaki:

This lake is some kind of replica of Lake Tekapo; also the three lakes i.e. Lake Tekapo, Lake Ohao and Lake Tekapo lying in the region of Mackenzie possess emulating features. Lake Pukaki is nourished by the glacier which is similar to Lake Tekapo; as well they are the one which can be ascribed for their distinct identity. It sustains to provide the lake with deposits that give Lake Pukaki, a special essence i.e. turquoise blue color.

Both are a virtual retreat for any tourist, a serene and simple location adds much more to the joy.

And the surrounding natural environment i.e. the mountains which cover the lake are amazingly striking, they are perpetually draped in snow sheets, these sights make it more spicier and more majestic look, believe me this jaw-dropping site will make you stand in awe.

In fact, Tassie is the place which is probably the best striking region in the whole of southern hemisphere for multi day hiking or even for day hiking. The weather here is capricious and can change with a blink of the eye, and you may find a totally new atmosphere and feel that you might have landed in a totally new place. In summer, you may find pleasure of bone chilling cold or even probably the clouds may rain. This is what I have experienced during my visit, and let me inform you that the weather here is weird. Before visiting this location, don’t forget to pack multi-seasons clothing in your luggage.

The Tasmanian park service has variety of packages for its tourists. At the Cradle Mountain, this bus service offers a bus service after every 10 minutes from outside the parking lot. If you don’t feel like tramping the mountains, then you have another exciting option, just move leisurely along the paved environment. This is very straight and even wheelchair friendly. And moreover, Tassie also proffers skiing option for the tourists in the winter season. Isn’t it a fun for everyone, just as I said before multi-packages for each one.

To the north of Antarctic Circle, around 1900 miles is located Central Tasmania. That is the distance between El Paso and Washington. Smart hikers equip themselves with extra gear which does come in handy sometimes. If you come to Tassie, make sure you enjoy the odyssey up the regular trail to Mt Wellington, overlooking Hobart. At the top, you will find yourself on the top of the world when you will find the marvelous panoramic view. Also to enjoy things to the fullest, don’t forget to pack several layers and survival gear. However, you don’t need to carry a fast hiking tent, because you will have a base tent like a hut.
