First of all, a happy birthday to PHYLISCIA ytd ! =D Had a surprise breakfast at her house tgt with sharon,ange,SM, and her BF of course. haha.

Okay. Anyway ive came back from my 11 days long trip in WesternAustralia. Its a really good experience and i got to do things that id never tried before, seen things that are soo perfectly eye soothing.

DAY1 was at PERTH, settled in Perth Ambassador Hotel. when we just alighted down. well, its simply cold. the winds that blew around were freezing. the temp was roughly 20 degrees. and soo our first stop was king's park.

DAY2 received the rented cars and travelled to rockingham. Took a boat taking us to Penguin's Island. There's a ferry tour which took us around to see sealions and penguins. Had a picnic there, really lots of beautiful sea birds all round. Then, dinner at Fremantle having seafood at one of their restaurant there. Its a seaside one, so.. its coo-ooo-lld.

DAY3 Shopping at habour town, a branded factory outlet. Didnt really get much things out there except for an espirit jacket. We'd all mainly bought jackets and pullovers cause its a little too cold out there. haha. This time we've gone whale watching, we were in this ferry that brought us out to the oceans to get a glance of whaless. Then, to a marine animal seeing, and there we get to see all sorts of fishies, sharks, stingrays. Nothing much actually. And moved on down to this Lake Mongo( hope its spelled this way) Its just a random lake and the swans, ducks are like soo friendly. By a chance of a zillion, we saw this big big thing flew down to us tgt with some troops ( white seagulls perhaps) . Its a roughly standing at 1M tall pelican. That pelican is the kind of bird that delivers the baby we see in cartoon! XD

DAY4 A long travelling in car day to ALBANY. I'd love this resort we staying the most! Its super lovely hehs. Strawberries and cheeses are some of the stuffs we bought lots of to eat. =D

DAY5 at ALBANY, and headed to the famous blowhole, the gap narrow bridge. its soooo cool. haha. And and, to whale station, a tour of the whaling exhibits, speaking on how whales were killed in the past. And and and, down to a seaport to get some seafood again, there's like quite a few mums here to whip up a nice meal for us. =D

DAY6 down to DENMARK, to a honeywine farm. Raw honeys, honeywines. Mmmm. nice nice. bought quite some of those and most probably to be enjoyed later in the night ! Afterwhich to Caversham wildlifepark, fed lots of animals. hahs. Then, Tree top walk. Quite fun lah. Toffee factory.. Macadania nut fac. Life there is really nice and simple, most of these factories are family business, they stay just beside their shop, close it at 5pm ( almost every shops closes at 5, Sunday's usually a rest day ) so getting to shop here is quite difficult. Stress-less work life , cosy living. =]

DAY7 i woke up early and cooked breakfast for everyonee ! hehh. pancakes =] Today we went to the farmer's market where fresh local products are for sale. Lunch at a teahouse, and well, got to know whats ' maroon' and 'yuppies' . Their teahouse has a yard behind with little animals all about. Me and rayhan were busy chasing the ducklings. hahs. 2 bay watch, then Little Beach. oh the beaches here are really called beaches. Very pretty indeed. Had fun there haha!

DAY8 set off to MARGARET RIVER, and settle down at WaterFall Cottage! At here, its more relaxing as its mainly wining and dining. Berry Farm. Too bad the raspberries are not in season to be plucked. Passed by Permberton, to Karri forrest, the national park in the region, there's this Gluocester Tree standing 61m in height, which could be climbed all the way up, at your own risk though. haha. Our picnic there was great, the parrots are tgt with us, feed them and they would fly over!

DAY9 headed over to Jewel Cave, a cave thats filled with precious stones which i dont know what. Super dark inside. Then, to Leeuwin lighthouse. Took a tour up there. At last got a feel of whats up there. XD Stopped by some winery and bought winess. This time we came back to our resort a little earlier, so had a game of frisbee! haha. Its such a nice and cosy when all of us sat down, having wine , nuts and cheese to go along.

DAY10 Visited factories and shops around Cowaramup, we've bought many packets of muesli, chocolates. And this Leeuwin Wine Estate, big grand and beautiful, my dad, uncle and me went to this wine tour where we learnt bout wines and sampled some of those. Well, ive known so much more about wines this whole trip, my aunt is a really into wines so she's like slowly teaching me what and what bout it. We'd even bought the maximum number of wines and beers that could be brought through the custom. XD Reached back to our resort quite early too, explored around the cottage area, we saw a big field, with about twenty kangaroos all round. haha.

Thats a kind of birds thats always flying round our cottage. A very pretty one.

DAY11 Packed up, and got our way slowly back to PERTH airport. Stopped at busselton for an underwater tour. Bunburry for some dolphin movie and tour thing, then some shopping before we had a nice dinner before we left. =]
