Yesterday, Steven, Zero and I got bored staying at home and decided to do some mountain climbing to get some fresh air. Speaking of mountain climbing what place would be more suitable than blue mountain? Since Zero is very familiar with blue mountain, he was the one who set our climbing route. Our great adventure started at Leura station, we walked about 20 minutes enjoying the quiet and peaceful environment around and then entered blue mountain cliff area. The view at the cliff area was amazing and it got even better when you stood at the very edge of the cliff and look downward viewing the rest part of the mountain. Cliff area Wonderful Sightseeing According to Zero's plan, our destination is the three sisters. We then left the cliff area and headed to the other side of the mountain. In the middle of the walk we saw a great waterfall and we actually got very close to it and could even felt the cold water drops bouncing to our face. Pretty Waterfall ...

Paintball experience Getting ready for paintball Paintball is a great activity for a one day event. It can be easily organised for a weekend or short Easter break. We booked for five people at the game zone 'London After the Apocalypse' at Appin, which is only about an hour and 10 minutes drive from Macquarie University. The game zone has three fields with different modes. The first one we did was 'saving the prime minister'. We had to escort our prime minister while our enemy tries to shoot him. The second game mode we played was just a regular 'death match' that you have probably played in CS or Overwatch. Since we were all poor university students, we couldn't not afford the cost for extra ammo, so we only had 100 paintballs each. It didn't last us until the third field. However, it was a great experience for us. You can find more information at:  http://www.paintballing.com.au/ Booking can be done at:  http://www.ipgau.com.au/  or call ...
