Weather was rainy, rainy and rainy ;(
Woke up at 5.30am. Hubby told me we forgot to retrieve from the lousy car the Mandarin albums I borrowed from my cousin - jia lart! There was no way we could get it before we leave Holbrook so we thought we could come back after getting a replacement car.
6.30am - Keith and his wife picked up us from the motel and drove us to Albury. They even checked up where Hertz was and wanted to drive us to where the company was but they were going to be late for the doctor's appointment and hence dropped us along Young Street where Hertz might be (the street was a long long street). We sent Keith a thank you email when we got back to Singapore.
We reached Albury about 7.10am and then went to look for breakfast before we went Hertz (since it would not open so early anyway). Found Hertz and then got our replacement car within half an hour! I suppose this could be considered a good service?
Toyota (Aurion) - the trusted brand!Anyway, I decided to not head back for the CDs cos the return journey would take us >1.5hrs.. on top of the drive from Albury to Healesville which would take another 3.5hrs. I hope my cousin would not kill me ;p SORRY, KC!!
Accommodation - Maroondah View Motel AUD96/night for a Queen Room. Simple, moderate size room with very small standing shower area (probably about 1x1m ;p). Ok lah, except that the location was slightly off the main Healesville town centre (gota drive about 2.5km). View would have been better if not for the rain and fog. Oh, the (old styled) aircon was really loud & noisy! Rating - 6.5/10.

ToiletHealesville is known for its zoo named Healesville Sanctuary. As it was raining, we didn't visit the zoo but just drove there to have a look. Think the admission was AUD23 per pax.
Healesville Sanctuary entranceDinner was pizza & chicken wings from Sanctuary Park Pizza. You should see the generous spread of ingredients they put onto the pizza which cost only AUD10 for any large pizza!
