Actually this posting is a bit too late.. But better late than never right..? :P

Last mid break.. Not really a break actually.. (with those assignments :p), thank God we got the chance to visit Tesselaar Tulip Festival. This annual event is held from Mid September to October at 357 Monbulk Road, Silvan, Victoria... A nice place to escape a bit from our routine..

Do you know that Tulip was actually originated from Turkey..?
This is for example:

Turkish Tulip

However, due to war between Turkey and European countries, this beautiful flower was then adopted by these countries. In fact, Tulip is now more known as Netherlands' national flower.
Years years ago, there were these Dutch couple, brought Tulip seeds from their home country, and grew them here in Victoria.. Finally.... they exposed their tulip collection to public -Tesselaar Tulip Festival was held-.. After 53 years, this festival is now a unique opportunity to see an exotic blaze of living color.. (it could be a therapy for eyes u know.. :P)

(note: The girl in top right pic is not me :p)

Anyway...., 13-14 October 2007 will be the final Weekend - last chance to tip toe through fields of Tulips (Feat Paul Jamieson-*dunno who* the music man).. So maybe, after visiting friends and families on Ied Fitr day.., could visit this place with family/friends..
