As part of my African safari at Tanzania, East Africa, I visited the famous Serengeti National Park for 2 days.

Picnic at Hanging Rock, more like Aussie BBQ
0 Comment by Mai / October 2, 2009 / Posted in Food & Wine, Life, TravelAlthough the forecast was for cold & windy weather with the chance of rain, I still decided it was worth the risk visiting Hanging Rock. I really feel that the Hanging Rock is underated in terms of places to visit in Victoria. It really does have all the necessary features for an awesome family/friend outing. [...]

Amazing coastal scenery view and lovely drive along the coast
There is no [...]
