Day 4 of Perth Trip



















It is Day 4 of the Perth Trip and we are at Margaret River

Waking up at the Backpackers with plenty of fresh air and sunlight
Pity it was Friday and Aussie celebrate Easter starting from Friday
That means.....a lot of places are not opened

So we talked to some of the locals at the Backpackers
Did our research and get our directions
And we went to Mammoth Caves
Caves no need to close for celebrations right?

































I'm just too lazy to do captions for every photos taken in the cave
But nonetheless
I felt it was a very good experience
1st time I went inside a cave and MAMMOTH it was (pun intended)

We also were provided with headsets that prompted us to
punch in numbers onto the phone to activate a guided tour
Cool!

The recorded guided tour gave us plenty of information
It was very enriching to know what happened and
how the cave eventually came about

The rocks inside were all shaped by rain, or riverwater
All had weird uneven shapes and some even looked dangerously sharp
The cave inside was dark and dimly lit
But it was extremely cooling inside
Up to the point whereby it is considered cold
How contrasting to the outside warm weather

Anyways
We took around 2 hours to finish touring the cave
Value for money
Hahaha!
Nah. Cuz we knew many other attractions were closed
So we took longer to finish up the tour
And MK's camera totally ownz everyone in the cave
His pics are the ones that has a special volcanic effect
And it's crystal clear compare to the rest of us
*thumbs up*

And after a quick lunch
We decided to use our GPS
And also topo manually with the map that was highlighted by
a surfer dude working at the Backpackers in the morning
So we went....winery hopping!



















Chardonnay FTW!




















Digital macro looks good right?
Q-ed up version of the grapes
A pity none of the wineries were opened
But we already spend quite a day driving and walking
around at those wineries

So off we went to the other part of Prevally Beach (not Surfer's Point)
To kill some time before going off to the Animal Farm

Guess who we met at the beach?
The nuts & cereals boss
LOL!
That guy just loveeeeeeeeeees to put us down
Talk about discrimination against Asians
I think if he never left to go down to fish with his family
Edmund would have thrown him over the railings
I guess in other ppl country we just have to "忍"























Don't understand Adrian
Still trying to dive into the water
Hahaha!

Anyways the beach was damn good
The sights again
And the wind
And the lush green grass
The hills and rocks
Plus the water
Simple stuff you can enjoy and will miss back in Spore
=)

Then after the relag session at the beach
We checked the time and it was just nice to visit the Animal Farm
And off we go for a short drive there

The first thing (after we bought our tix and animal food) we saw...


















And the next thing you see...























Babies running around
Ok the babies are cute
But running around?
=/























That's up close and personal in the Animal Farm

And we also noticed some "residents" inside the farm
They were free to hop around literally



















These were the 2 resident kangaroos (or joey)
I remembered only 1 was friendly
The other was quite hostile


















These meh meh sheep were so damn good to touch
The wool is ownage stuff
And they are so cute lah!
Plus they don't fight for the food
Not like those bigger ones























This is also the resident duck
I think the wings are slightly clipped somewhere
So it somehow appeared outstanding among the rest


















And yeah
You got it
It knew how to pose for photographs
Thats double cool!




































And the Aussie most well-recognized animal
I have this favourite kangaroo among them
I call it "Mikey"
It's the one pictured me feeding it
=)

Cuz it did the Mike Tyson boxing stance
And rolled it fists into balls and did the boxing pose!
All of us (except Edmund) caught it!
Damn zai lah I tell you!

And the kangaroos are damn smart
They will search for bread inside the bucket
So you just put out the basket
And they will use their small little paws
Then they filter out the carrot, lettuce and peas
And they will then take out only the bread
SUPER DUPER CLEVER I tell you!
*thumbs up*

You can just check out the little girl and the joey
The joey is the exact smarty pants as the older ones
And the kangaroo feels better to pat compared to dogs
Not much fur or what coat over their bodies
Definitely the highlight of the place























Of course there's others
Like the evil emu
They have red eyes
Wonder when they will shoot out lasers
=.=























And baby Horsie
Short legs (like me)
But handsome face too (like.............ME?)
HAHAHA!
Oops!
=p


















And this is Stormie here

Another awesome creature
Ownage big
I think you can put 2 full-grown adults besides it
Not Asians
But ang mohs
Cuz it's way freaking huge!
And the way it eats is damn fierce!


















Did I mentioned it nearly tore the bucket open?
But its really very good-looking
It has a side-parting mane which totally fits its face
Horses look very prestigous to me!
Shiok!

And when it galloped out into the wide open space of the field
We called it back and it would answered our call
Galloping back
The sight of it in the open field
Just right where it belonged
Totally rocks to the core!
=D

As we move on
We also realised...


















There would be some birdie running around
Just like some open space camp for them to enjoy












































I didnt know baby rabbits look so cute!
Palm-sized only
=)




















No I dont like you!
Angry goat trying to take a mile for an inch
Or a yard?
Or whatever lah!
Angsty fellow



































The little kid is trying to understand
Why all the animals like to stretch out their heads?



































Pigs are way cuter ok?
See!
Its smiling back at us!
=D


















And its friend is mud-bathing
































































WOW!
Check this out
Piglets
And Mama Pig
It's feeding time
Crazy piglets going all bonkers running around
Uncoachable!


















Chicks are cute too!
They always are
Chicks what?
Not meh?
See there's a cute chick over there!


















And this is 99% resemblance to our friend in poly
Ok I admit it
*Hands up*

I spotted the similarity 1st!
LOL!


















Still got accomplice sia
Lama-mama
LOL!
Not bad
They got a cute hairstyle
Totally suits them!
=p



















And sadly it was time to leave
But nonetheless
It was a good visit
Somemore it was Easter weekend
And other attractions were closed
Only animals were available

Not bad a bargain already
Or should I say its more than worth it
Not many ppl would like animals
So maybe those animal haters would take a lot of time
Or even regret going to this place
But I think interacting with animals is the way to go!
Brings out the better side of us!
=)

And off we go to enjoy the sunset
One of our favourite thing to do while in Aussie
And we hit Prevally Beach again
But this time we went to Surfer's Point
And boy....


















Packed to the max with ppl enjoying glasses of wine
Having good pinic food
Walking the dog
Taking photos with professional cameras
Just sitting down and catching up with friends and families
That's what I call enjoy life

No wonder David say Aussies like to have pinic
But not like us
They have "high-class pinic"





























The beach was awesome
The waves were scary
And ppl just took their surfboards and dashed into the open sea
Bravery
Kudos to them

And some of them were older men in their 40s
All dashing out to ride on the waves and surf up a good time

Took some nice photos too
Absolute beauty in the sunset
But pity the sun sets damn fast in Australia too
I still cant figure it why
But taking in all the magnificent sight is more than enough
Photos just dont do justice to any of the experience
You need to be there personally to really feel it




































BBQ chicken
And the evil fries...
*pukes*

Luckily there was...


















Simmo's Ice-Cream

And there was....


















Pretty girl!


















Hard at work too!
Earning some extra cash during the holiday season
I respect that
LYJ likes ppl who works hard and earn for themselves!
=)


















Okok
The ice-cream
3 words - Very very good!























Edmund and the pretty girl

Didnt pose up the pic of me and her
Cuz I had my eyes closed
Haiz
Cuiz
Sadded
Devastated
Broken-hearted
=(

But the girl was the end of the day story
Anyways I think she's the only person I see before
Who had yellow fingernails and still looked so natural
That's what I call "able-to-pull-it-off"
Not many ppl can put bold colours and get the job done

So we just finished off at the ice-cream shop and went back to rest
Some dai-dee action and magic tricks
Hahaha!
The magic tricks were damn funny
Laughed until I nearly pengz
And that was it for Day 4
Ended off at Maraget River

Day 5 coming up
With the most terrible experience
Part 5 - When the day GPS die
=/

It's worse than Nightmare on Elm Street
And Friday the 13th combined together



What you don't know
You either go find out more
Try to understand more
Before you speak your mind freely
If not
You better shut your mouth
And watch what comes out of your mouth
Think before you speak
Before everyone thinks you are a dumb person
So maybe you just go
Go 检讨一下自己
Go run along now
