I'm back in one piece! :3

Have been away for three days and the enjoyment was indescribable! :]]]

Went to Murray River Cruise with my whole lifegroup and everything was laid perfectly ahead of us. Thank God!!! The best weather, best events, best boat, best activities, best sceneries, best people all in one! Had never felt so good this long. And I really mean it.

First we all gathered at our lifegroup leader's house on Friday night and started off our journey with four cars that evening. We reached our destination after 4 hours of ride (just imagine travelling from KL to Penang roughly that long) and our butts are literally freezing cold due to the super cold weather but *I like it*! I wore like my ai-xin long light peach coat that was bought by my beloved mother from wintertime and puffed up like jigglypuff (not as cute as her *winkwink*) but I feel super warm.

Reached Wilkaden at approx 12midnight after we unpacked everything onto the boat. We were greeted by this cute dog called Murray, hence named after the river. I heard the place was 4-stars and indeed it was in tiptop condition, clean boat and great facilities. Not to mention everything is on the boat from dishwasher to BBQ pit. Really 设备齐全！Luckily we also have heater to survive the night. The weatherman mentioned that this place reaches zero degrees at night. Brrrr.....r....r..

That night was dark and everything seems gloomy not until we woke up the next morning. WOAH! The sccceeeennnerrrryyy caught our attention like woahh.. (All pictures coming up and let them speak for me)

This is the first photo I took when I woke up in the morning.

Went to the top floor of the boat that we were in.

Did Titanic Signature Pose too :P

I brushed and made breakfast for the people which is mushroom soup and garlic bread. After that 15 of us took turns to drive the boat ourselves. It was great fun! =) 

The organizer and his girlfriend.

I am glad that I can drive the boat for around half an hour around the river. After that we had BBQ on the boat which was quite exciting. The wind was blowing strong and we were digging into our barbecued chicken and sausages. 

The four people that helped to BBQ. I only helped for awhile as I was busy driving the boat at that time so didn't take photo.

The clear water that we can even see the mud underneath it.

My housemates that ate happily outside the balcony of the boat. I was taking this picture while driving the boat. =P

The ones sitting inside the boat.Only my lifegroup leader looked at my camera. I was still driving the boat so I'm not inside. LOL

Came up the boat to visit a local BEER factory. It was only this big but has produced quite a lot-of-beer. Drank some to try and it was not bad but I'm not in the place to say because I never drink. Haha

Freshly made beer pumped out from here. The end product.

This place was used to shed sheep's skin once upon a time and now turned into a beer factory.

The place and the logo of the beer =)

I even took photos of the 4 cars that didn't let us down. <3

After BBQing we continue to enjoy the scenery as we drove around the place. I even get a chance to throw a canoe into the water and start to row about. Damn fun!!!! Did it with 3 other friends! And it was absolutely free! 

 We sat about and watch the sunset. It was super breathtaking. Never had a chance to see this. 
Wish I can do this all over again with my family members.

 A silly idea by the organizer. We sat by the heater and BBQ marshmellows and it did work.
TASTE AWESOME TOO! >.<

 We went to this nearby Rose Garden (which was not in season but has Sakura Trees instead which have Beautiful Sakura Flowers). MY look so pretty with one on her hair! And it was my idea *winkwink*

 This person also wanted to try and look gay-ish. HAHAHAHA! =P (his idea horr?)

My housemate's sister looking out the garden.

 There was this silly guy stuck on the ground near the boat so many of us took picture of him. Here, two retards. HAH!
*I just noticed one of the scary fellow's finger broke* Terrifying. I wonder if he can glow in the dark at night.

 Our organizer is also our photographer.
 Wonder when will he post all the wonderful pictures up since he is so busy with current work.

 We also went to visit some local fruit farms nearby. 
This place was packed with oranges. And it was quite big and smell SWEET like Sweeeetsss!! <3

 Millions of oranges around. REALLY A LOT.

 See!!! And super ripe and orange loh..=3=

 The last day we went to eat lunch in Renmark Club which was 102 years old and still look like new. Really new. I think they had refurbished the place not long ago. This is the free SALAD BAR and I'm really into salads lately *been hating them so far haha*

 The super big burger which is as tall and big as my hand. I cant even carry it up with one hand but both. Mouth cant fit. (Not my dish so didn't care! Blek =P

 MINE MINE MINE!!! (You really need to get use of my attitude) =3 Garfish and Chips Yummie!!
 Never had so fresh fish for so long.

 My friend's Tandoori Chicken Wrap. Can't wrap it also due to the big portion of stuff in it.

 The Delicious Banana Split. It was long time ago since I had my last banana. It was used to be 1.99 Aus dollars last year until not it raised to 11.99 Aus dollars per kg this year due to the Queensland Flood early in this year. I do love bananas but can't afford them. They are even more expensive than chicken, lamb and beef altogether! :(((

 The 102 year-old club. 

 Doesn't really look like 102 years of anniversary to me.

 Went over to Banrock Station and tried Riverland Wines.
Bought 2 bottles of Sweet Wine. How I love them. Just reallly taste like sparkling juice. 
Shall bring them back to Malaysia soon. Moscato and Frizzante!

The Banrock Station View as we walked onto the balcony. Had no time to explore the rest of the place as we were heading back to Adelaide.

Aww....I didn't get to post every single picture that I took and some that was not uploaded yet. I guess it was this experience that was felt within the heart, the peacefulness and calmness where even internet, phone and virtual entertainment were cut off and opened our eyes to see the awesome world God has created for us. I do love this holiday trip dearly. Shall go there once more if I had another chance. 

How was your winter holiday?
