Ah it's been a very long while since we updated our blog. Well we have been busy - Ken with his assignments and later travelling to Tasmania with my parents & sister. We were in Tasmania for a good 10 days. Some pictures of our Tassie trip can be found here.

Yesterday we went to the Yarra Valley and Dandenongs & The Ranges. It is about 1 hour drive from Melbourne. Same area where we went to visit the Tulip Farm. Find out more about the area here

Our first stop was Warratina Lavender Farm where we went on a 20 mins lavendar tour to learn about the harvesting process and also to see the lavender plantation.

Second stop was to a Cherry Plantation where we feasted on the freshest of cherries from the cherry trees. We also took the opportunity to pick some back home. Sweetness!!


Look how big the cherries are!
 

Juicy Yummy

Third stop was to Hillbilly Honey Farm where they had 20 over varities of honey for tasting. I tasted over 10 different types of honey and wasn't sure which to get. In the end we got a 1kg tub of Bush Mallee and 1kg tub of Yellow box honey. Too bad I don't have any pictures for this coz all of us were busy bees working hard on the honey ;-)

Last stop was to the Sky High Dandenong Observatory where we had great views of Victoria.


View from the Observatory. Can you see Melbourne City?
