Day 1
I went to Melbourne. On Day 1 I went to Great Ocean Road Port Campbell National Park. I saw the Twelve Apostles but there were only a few left.
This is the Razorback Lookout. The view was so beautiful. The ocean was blue.
My mom and I took photos with the Great Ocean Road Sign.
Day 2
On Day 2 I rode the Puffing Billy Railway train. The train is very special. First the people’s legs are outside. Second, there is heritage steam on the railway. Third, the view was so beautiful. I saw rain forest, wooden bridges and mountains.
In the evening at 8:50pm I wore a heavy jacket to wait for the penguins to go from the ocean to the bushes. This is called a Penguin Parade. The penguins waddled together. They looked very small and cute.
Day 3
On Day 3 I did a citywalk in Melbourne. First I went to St. Paul’s Cathedral. I prayed in the church.
Next I visited Flinders Station.
Then I went to Victoria State Library. The library was very impressive.
I stood in front of Hosier Lane. The street has many colorful drawings.
I passed by the Australia Open 2026 arena for tennis.
I swam in the hotels.
I watched the new year’s fireworks at the Yarra River. Welcome to 2026!
