In the most southern corner of Victoria, at the same time Australias most southern tip at all, resides the Wilsons Promontory National Park, renowned for its breathtaking nature. It offers almost everything, bushland, mountains (well, at least some little), forest and sandy beaches.
Many walking tracks are crossing the park, some are more maintained, some others less. A two hour stroll or a multi day hike, you can have it all. We (this time that means Jesper, Jasmine, Dillon and I) chose the latter and tackled the “Northern Circuit”.
This walk consists of four stages (if you skip several camps as we did) and sourrounds the northern part of the Prom. The difficulty is said to be moderate to hard since the track marks are availible only sparely sometimes and hence you’re supposed to be capable of dealing with maps and compass. | See the pictures Continue reading →

There’s an update in the gallery: I spent the weekend on a trip to Mt. Buffalo in the “alpine region”. | See the pictures …

A temperature of 35 degrees means there is only one thing to do: chilling at the St. Kilda Beach …
A water temperature of 16 degrees is not really warm but very refreshing. | See the pictures …

Just in time I updated my cultural knowledge by visiting the “Picasso – Love & War 1935-1945″ exhibition last week that took place in the National Gallery of Victoria.
Beforehand I had hardly anything known about Picasso (not even the fact that he was living in the 20th century); most of his paintings I didn’t really like, in fact there was not a single one that I’d call nice. But some were definetly interesting. Especially the part of the exhibition that showed the photographs taken by his muse wasn’t up my alley whereas some of his pencil sketches were pretty impressive. The ones that I liked the most were his mor colourful paintings like those deformed faces.
Unfortunately there are only a few photos as I got caught by the secutrity relativly early – I must have missed some prohibition sign. | See the pictures …

… und zwar:
- von der “Animal dress-up party” am letzten Samstag
- ein paar Kletterbilder
- nochmal einige wenige Nachtaufnahmen

In der Gallery gibts neue Fotos: “Hsinchu” und “Taipei”

Ein bißchen verspätet fand am Samstag eine “Welcome party” in meine Wohnung statt. Da ich leider mal wieder vergessen hab, selbst Fotos zu schießen, gibts nur ein paar wenige zu sehen im Album “Wohnen und Arbeiten”. Außerdem war ich nochmal mit der Kamera in der Stadt oder besser gesagt in Hawthorn (der Stadtteil, in dem die Uni liegt) unterwegs und auch davon gibts ein paar Bilder. Continue reading →
