| One day in Sydney (Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Manly, Opera House) | 03.03.2014 |
 |
It is really hard to say do I like Sydney or not.... It does NOT look like as Melbourne, the city, which I really love and adore, it is completely different! Streets are not so wide, a lot of people and so much noise... On the other hand, Sydney's City is beautiful, ferries are the best transport in the world and flowers.... so many flowers with fantastic smell! |

| White sands of Jervis Bay | 28.02.2014 |
 |
Our goal for today is to reach Sydney. We stopped in Bega and had some cheddars at the Bega Cheese Factory. Our next stop was at Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The sand is pure white you wouldn't believe it's real and the water is green and light blue. I could stay at that place forever. |

| Eden - Killer Whale Museum, Twofold Bay | 27.02.2014 |

We went to Eden from Merimbula and spent more than 3 hours exploring the Eden Killer Whale Museum. The museum was originally built to house the skeleton of the orca "Old Tom" and tell its story. The local historical society is based at the museum, where it displays and houses between five and ten thousand items, focusing on the Australian whaling industry, general maritime and fishing artefacts, the timber industry, and local social history Museum (photo from Wikipedia website): |

Hello, New South Wales! Nice to 'meet' you! :) When we planned our trip, we thought that there will be a 'border' between two states, but actually we didn't notice where we crossed it. It was almost 8pm, when we got a call from the motel asking us when we are going to arrive. Well, we were in the middle of nowhere (actually, we were somewhere between Pambula and Eden, but still it was far away from Merimbula), so we arrived at 9pm. |

After visiting Raymond Island, we went to Lakes Entrance. Lakes Entrance is a very popular all year round holiday destination, including during winter months when the climate is often a few degrees warmer than Melbourne. |

| Phillip Island Wildlife Park | 24.02.2014 |
 |
By the time when I am writing this article, I've already visited Melbourne Zoo (twice), Healsville Sanctuary (three times), Werribee Open Range Zoo and Ballarat Wildlife Park, so I am not a newbie at the "Australian" zoo. Phillip Island Wildlife Park is my favourite one. I think this is a best wildlife park to visit if you have kids or guests from overseas and would like to show them australian animals and do not spend a fortune for feeding them (like in Healsville Sanctuary). You can feed kangaroos, wombats, see koalas, emus, Tasmanian devils, dingos and much more! |
