Melbourne Lockdown - Federation Square

Right across the road from Flinders Street Train Station is another icon of Melbourne - Federation Square or Fed Square as the Aussie likes to call it. It is a popular gathering space with public performances and exhibition. The place is so popular that it was once a target of a terrorist attack! Thank GOD that the police preempted the plan and caught the culprits before they have the chance to do any serious harm to the public. One could only imagine what would happen if a bomb were to explode in a jam packed public place!





Another victim of Covid-19, Fed Square is empty day and night.

Melbourne Lockdown - Train Stations

Melbourne Stage 4 Lockdown has resulted the city became a ghost town overnight. This post is the first of a series to celebrate the uniqueness of this great Australian city.

The most iconic building that represent Melbourne, The Flinders Street Train Station was the busiest train station in Australia. Its majestic architecture reminds us of the significant role it plays for the city.





The empty Southern Cross Station only further exaggerate its grandness.

No More Underwater World Singapore and Dolphin Lagoon

It's sad but true. After 25 years of service, Underwater World Singapore will cease to exist after June 26. 

With its lease at Sentosa expiring in less than two years, it will have to vacate the facility and, most importantly, find suitable homes for the animals. 

So far, the pink dolphins, fur seals and otters have been transferred to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China — that means the 'Meet the Dolphins and Fur Seals' sessions will no longer be available. 

UWS has faced stiff competition from the Marine Life Park ever since it opened at Resorts World Sentosa with Dolphin Island and the S.E.A. Aquarium in 2012. 

The newer and bigger attractions drew the crowds in, even after the Dolphin Lagoon at UWS was relaunched in 2010 with a facelift. 

To mark the closure of this nostalgic aquarium, which holds many a fond memory for '90s kids, anyone who plans to revisit the space before it's gone forever can get tickets at the same opening price back in 1991 — $9 for adults and $5 for children (from June 7 to 26). 

If you can remember who Underwater Santa and Underwater God of Fortune are, wave goodbye to them as they make their final appearances daily at the Underwater Tunnel.
