Around Margaret River

Outside a candy shop!


Our farm during farm stay.
It was quite pathetic as we only saw 2 billy goats and a cow.
We didn't even get to really feed the animals!
Not what I thought about farm stay.
But I like farm!
Very spacious. I can be a farmer!



Candy cow.
Another candy shop!



In a vineyard.
I drank a lot in Perth!
haha!
I like white wine! Easy to drink.


Sunset along the coast.


SO, that's the end of my collection.
The girls took a lot more pictures!!!
Gotta wait till Jeff get the other pictures.
I love Perth!
And I'll go back soon!!!!!!

Cave day!

Mammoth cave!
It's a self guided tour.
So we took our own sweet time to walk about.






This should be the Lake cave.
My favourite!
There's a lake in the cave. (which explains the name)
It's so cold and quiet inside.
And super dark too.
So weird that some animals actually live inside!




Same! The lake cave.
The 3rd cave we went to is the Jewel cave.
No picutres yet. Gotta get from the rest.
It's the largest cave in Australia!
Very magnificant!!!
A bit about caves:
Everything is natural!!!
So amazing.
It's formed by the erosion of the rocks.
From there, it forms a nice concave shape, which becomes the cave!
Btw, the largest cave in the world can be found in...
MALAYSIA!!!
Amazing right???



Around Fremantle

On the tracks!
How cool!
Carpark.
Really random.



Nice tree and church!
We wanted to go to the market.
But it only opens on weekends and public holiday which falls on a monday.
Wasted!!!


Fremantle prison

The title says it all!
Me outside Fremantle Prison.
It's another must go attraction in Perth!


Behind the bars. haha!

Outside the cells, in the courtyard.



The canteen area.



The courtyard for the prisoners to exercise.
They were allowed to draw on the wall.
It's quite gd!



The church.
These days, people are allowed to get married in it!
The prison was closed down in the 90s.
Quite recently only!


One of the cell.
It's damn small
Reminds of my room in hall 11.
haha!


Us outside the prison!
The others took pictures of the gallow room.
The atmosphere was very creepy!
At Fremantle!
We had a damn nice seafood lunch.
Super fresh. Quite expansive.
But super satisfying!

Harper's Island

HAHA! Rottnest Island is just like Harper's Island!
I watched the 1st episode of Harper's Island the day before this.
I kept saying Harper instead of Rottnest Island.
At the harbour before we board the ferry.

The beach!
We could have snorkeled there!
But we didn't rent the gear.
I dipped in the water.
It was freezing!!!
At the same beach.






We had to cycle throughout the island.
It's impossible to cover the entire island by foot.
It's super tiring cos there're many slopes.
But, I love it when it's down slope.
We went super fast!!!
A funny picture of me. haha!
I love the windmills!


Me trying to act like a how a cyclist would pose.


Jeff was always ahead of me.
I had to struggle when it's up slope.







We stopped many times to rest.
Cos it's really tiring!



How beautiful!!!!
Not me, obviously. haha!

This little marsupial can be found throughout the island!
We didn't see any as we were cycling.
But we saw one near the food centre!!!
Crap. I can't remember it's name.
Qukoo or something. Shall check my diary later!

I love the island!
It's a MUST go when in Perth.
But beware.
It's not for the old and weak. haha!
It's really too intensive!!!
I'll want to go back there next time!
But it'll be better to stay over night at the island!




Lancelin + Pinnacle desert


We were on the monster truck!
Super fun!!!
The truck would take us up and down the sand dunes.
Those sand dunes are HUGE.
So it's like a roller coaster ride.
We had to buckle up!

See how huge it's?! haha!
I'm just as tall as the wheels.


Me with the sand board.
It's like wind surfing.
Just that we're sliding down the sand!

That's me sliding down!

It was my 2nd try.

I fell when I sat on the board. haha!




Us waiting to slide down.



At the pinnacle desert.
I kept typing dessert. haha!
All the nbs ppl.
Models wannabe. haha!





Me and our car!
I drove a little!
If only I can drive more.
It seemed so much better than driving in S'pore.
Them again!
They're pretty nice people.
But I'm totally different from them (the girls).
I think I'm pretty guyish.
At one point in them, on of the girls actually blurted out:" You 4 guys should ..."
haha! Hilarious.

Perth city + Kings park

Jeff and I on the CAT bus.
We chose to tour around the city instead of doing shopping at the factory outlet.
We're so not into shopping, unlike the nbs girls.
What's best is that the CAT bus is a free bus service!
So, we roamed round the city on it.
The ride was so comfortable that I fell asleep for a short while. haha!
We dropped off at some random spot to change to another CAT bus.

We took the bus to King's park.
It was pretty cold.
BUT, the walk up was damn long and tiring that I got damn warm.




The halfway point up King's park!
I had to take a short break. haha!
Too damn tiring!!!



Finally!



At a random spot in King's park!
Very scenic!!!
It's a must go!
Can see the whole of Perth city and the lake.
I think it's called swan valley lake.








The same pic of us lazing on the grass patch.
So nice and cooling!




There's a section in King's Park that's dedicated to the Australians soldiers who died in WW2.
It's a war memorial site.



The city again.
All ready for casino!!!
Obviously, I didn't wear my hoodie inside. haha!
I wore only my top, pants and heels.
It was freezing!!!
I love the casino. haha!
I can foresee myself being an addict someday.


p.s. I did the post on friday but I went to check my results at midnight. I felt neither happy nor disappointed. haha! Think I'm immune to the same kind of results I obtain all these sem. I think the only way I can be a perfect student is to be one in US! haha!
