Day 3 Melbourne (Philip Island): – Koala Conservation Centre #BeckyinOzzie

TravelTuesday on RebeccaSaw.com.

Hello! I’m back again with my Travel Tuesday article.  This week is all about KOALAs, as I reminisces  my Victoria, Australia trip, made possible with many thanks to Tourism Australia & Tourism Victoria.

Just to recap, my 10 days trip covers the Melbourne’s South East Touring Triangle of Yarra Valley & The Dandenong Ranges, Philip Islands & the Mornington Peninsular as depicted by the map below.

By day 3 of my itinerary, we were on Philip Island; whose main attraction is undoubtedly the penguins parade (watch my videos of the cutest species of penguins HERE! ). Other than the penguins, the KOALAS are the other “must-see” +”must-visit” on any tourist’s itinerary. The Koala Conservation Center on Philp Island is a good place for your koala experience as it allowed many opportunities for you to see Koalas in their natural habitat.

Brands Essence of Chicken – the latest BRAND’s 14 -Day Get Smart campaign

Brands Essence of Chicken challenges consumers to outdo themselves through it’s latest BRAND’s 14 -Day Get Smart campaign. Apparently, research findings had showed “marked” improvements in one’s mental performance after drinking Brands Essence of Chicken daily. These findings were backed by 4 INDEPENDANT clinical studies carried out worldwide, which includes Japan & Malaysia.

Now, for me personally, I have tried many supplements and had drank all sorts of tonics, herbal concoctions in my lifetime in my desperate effort to stay young, and more importantly, to remain razor-sharp & on my feet for a minimum of 20 hours in a day. I mean, don’t we all wish we have more hours in a day? I can name offhand at any one time; a list of 10 friends who finds sleep to be a waste of time!

Becky baked pies! @The Food Studio, Amarin Kiara

Few Saturdays back I baked 3 pies!

Left to right: Apple Pie, Shepherd Pie & Chicken Pie.

The Food Studio, Amarin Kiara-36

Yup, it certainly wasn’t my usual Saturday routine; slaving over a hot stove. Not that I mind cooking or baking; oh no, not at all. I do wish I could do it more often (I’m sure most of us are Jamie Oliver/Nigella Lawson wannabes inside) but washing up – now that’s another story.
Greasy pots & pans and stack of plates in the sink?? Urghh.

The Food Studio, Amarin Kiara-21

Well, the best part about cooking/baking at a cooking school is that you get to do so in an air-conditioned environment & you don’t have to wash up. 😉
The Food Studio at Amarin Kiara, who hosted our culinary session that day is spacious, comfortable & fully equipped with all the kitchen equipment you may need to whip up food & refreshments for up to a party of 100 pax.

Fridge, ovens, stoves, individual stoves – induction or gas powered, cooking utensils… you name it, The Food Studio most likely has it!

The Food Studio, Amarin Kiara-4

For culinary classes, each individual are provided a set of cooking utensils that’s relevant to the class programme that day.
