Port Stephens

The weekend after my midterm test, we went on a weekend gateway to Port Stephens, which is about 2 hours north of Sydney.

Is a really nice quiet place to watch dolphins and whales especially during winter. We stayed at a holiday park in Shoal Bay. The holiday park has cabins, tents and empty lots for people with their portable homes.

We had fish and chips for lunch, which is by far the most AUSSIE food you can get here.

After lunch, we drove around Port Stephens looking for a supermarket to get BBQ stuff for dinner. Who took this picture????!!
Duhhhh me, i'm the missing passenger!

Before sunset at Shoal Bay

Sunset..so BEAUUUUUUTIFULLL

After watching sunset, we went up to the Inner tea room light house, Port Stephens is filled with light houses, so this is just one of them.

That night, we had BBQ at the pit nearby our cabin, the food was yummy, the weather was nice and cool just perfect. PLUS we had background music from the tents nearby us..haha

Carnivore cravings


Oh KEBABS are also AUSSIE, their like long cuboid satays



Juicy fat mushrooms

After using the pit, it was time to clean up. So, we had quality BANGLA worker to perform such tasks..

"Clean harder la!!"

The next morning, I woke up the pigs to go walk walk along Shoal bay and take pictures

So we took some pictures of people's caravan in the park


See..so nice just like a hidden jewel

Not long after, my words were washed away


Some cool pose

Back at the holiday park, we were preparing to go for the dolphin watch cruise. I was excited about the boom net ride, is like a net attached to the behind of the cruise and you sit on it while being drag..sounds cool right!

At the balcony of our cabin

The wind was really strong that day and the day before, so at first we wanted to kayak but it was canceled because of the weather condition. So we went dolphin watching instead.

At our SURPRISE cruise, that's the name




Our SURPRISE look

The Boom net which I never got to play:(

Well, we never saw any SURPRISES, yea no dolphins no whales. So it wasn't really our lucky day but they gave us return tickets valid till whenever to come back for it, the guy told us winter is the best time so yea maybe we'll try again during winter.

After that, we head back to our cabin to pack up and check out..

One final picture at the holiday park

We explored Port Stephens after we checked out, drove around to see the other scenic spots and we found a Oyster farm..woooo so we bought some oysters and had it for lunch!

At the Oyster farm

Our last stop was One mile bay, is by far the nicest looking one and also the deadly one, the wind was so strong that as we head down to the beach, the wind started blowing the fine sands right into our face and legs, dammm pain! It was sooo bad that my contacts came off!! So for the returning journey, I was partially blind.

The classic jump shot

Me n kajie trying to look stupid

That was the end of our weekend holiday, oh it was ANZAC weekend, what's that??? I don't really know some holiday to commemorate some war which Australians and New Zealanders were involved.
