Winter & Snow in Australia!
It's winter in Australia now, and the best thing about winter is of course the snow! For those from an all-year-round tropical country like us, winter is always the season to look forward to - cold breeze, blowing 'smoke' out from our mouth when we talk, and of course, the white blanket of snow, and if we're lucky, seeing snowflakes fall down from the sky.
Over these two years that we've stayed in Melbourne, we have had the chance to visit 3 alpine resorts that have snow: Mt. Baw Baw, Mt. Buller and Falls Creek. The other two snow places in Victoria are in Lake Mountain and Mt. Hotham (we'll be visiting Mt. Hotham for very soon).
These winter & snow posts have been long due for updates. We'll post the updates for Mt. Baw Baw, Mt. Buller and Falls Creek very soon, but meanwhile, you can have a look at their websites:

For those in Malaysia looking for some snow adventure, now you don't have to fly very far. Because now we know Victoria have lots of them! :)

While we were in Clayton Rd, we saw a Halal butcher and decided to stock up on some groceries. So now we have another option to get Halal meat. They sell a selection of chicken, beef, lamb, sausages, marinated mince, kebab mince and more.
Clayton Halal Butcher is located at 322 Clayton Rd, Clayton.

BBQ Chicken @ Clayton
We were around Clayton area today and stopped for lunch at this eatery called Clayton BBQ Chicken. We don't have a long list of Halal eateries for southern part of Melbourne yet, so this was a good stop to add into our collection, and to share with other Melbourne Walk-Walkers.
Like the name, Clayton BBQ Chicken sells a range of roasted chicken, fried chicken, chips, fried rice, fried noodles, schnitzels, burgers and salads.
The price is pretty affordable. My quarter chicken bbq with chips cost AUD6.50.
Here is their opening hours:
Clayton BBQ Chicken is located at 375 Clayton Rd, Clayton.

Warrnambool Day Trip
If you don't know where to go, but still itching to travel somewhere, you might want to consider this little day trip. We had been wanting to go on a train ride to somewhere for a while, just to feel riding on the train and to pass through the landscapes. Last Sunday, we took a day trip from Melbourne to Warrnambool via V-Line train. We were on a tight budget and time, so this trip involved the train ride from Southern Cross Station and A LOT OF WALKING in Warrnambool. You can get a return ticket for Melbourne-Warrnambool for AUD52 per person. Packed with lunch and camera, we were on our way!
The train departed at 9 am on a Sunday morning. We almost missed the train, because apparently, there weren't a lot trams on early Sunday mornings in the city! We literally ran from the ticket counter to the platform, and the conductor even had to shout "Jump in! Jump in!" to get us in. After that, all was good and it was "Bye-bye city" and "Hello countryside!". The journey took more or less 3.5 hours. The ride was very comfortable too. If you're going, bring a book or music to listen too so that you'll stay awake to see all the scenery that you'll pass by.
Warrnambool train station is small, but equipped with toilets and vending machines.
There's an information centre about 15 min walk from the train station, on Flagstaff Hill. Behind the info centre is a Maritime Village (it's a paid park, so we only looked from far).
We wanted to go to the cliffs and the sea side, so from the Info Centre, we walked by lake park called Lake Pertobe. It's very serene here, and you can go for a boat ride in the lake if you want too.
There are also holiday apartments about 15 min walk away from the coast for those intending to stay longer.
Finally, we reached the sea. This is Stingray Bay.
After our walk on the rocks, we continued walking towards the train station using a different route (walking forward as opposed to turning back). Along the way was this really nice art gallery & cafe next to a marsh. It was time to stop for coffee and rest for a bit. By the way, we didn't spot any whale (if you guys have a binocular, you should bring one. Maybe we'll buy one to bring on our trips next time).
So overall, we walked for about 7 km. Departing from Southern Cross Station at 9 am, arriving at Warrnambool Station at about 12.30 pm, walked around until 4 pm, and departed back to Melbourne at 5 pm.
