Got back to writing the long overdue
Perth Honeymoon post after what seems like a 4 months hiatus from it.
Day 2 was written in February though. Short post are indeed much easier and more motivating to write/type as compared to heavy pictures post.
Alright, I shall not be lazy and continue with Day 3 of my Perth trip.
Hotel breakfast once again.
Food choice wasn't that different from the first day but I guess I could get used to it.
Setting off for our day tour :)
So as usual, we went to the designated place to board a shuttle bus to reach the 'bus interchange' for all the other tours.
This is the bus for our Full Day Pinnacles, Koalas & Sand Boarding 4WD Adventure by Adams Pinnacle Tour.
The bus is also the 4WD bus which require the driver and the tour coach to do some transform to the bus before getting it ready for the 4WD adventure. I will elaborate more about it in the later part of this post.
#LOTD
A #welfie of us while waiting for the bus to set off to the first destination.
We were seated at the last row in the bus.
First stop of the day -
Caversham Wildlife Park.
It wasn't a long drive to the destination. Probably a 30 minutes to 45 minutes drive away from where we originally were at.
Spotted vast of empty land while on the way there..
Finally here!
The types of animals at Caversham Wildlife Park.
So excited to be seeing them and getting up close with them :) And this it's something which we can never experience back in Singapore.
We proceed to meet and feed the
Kangaroo. Actually they are baby
Kangaroos haha!
So many of them roaming around.
Love the fact that the animals have so much space to move about and for visitors to get up close to interact with them. It beats better to cage them up.
Hello there Kangaroo!
Derp had a go at feeding the
Kangaroo first because I'm the more timid one. Just has to let him try first before he feedback to me about the experience.
The Kangaroo looks like he's shaking hand with Derp. So cute!
Okay they are still at it. The Kangaroo is not letting Derp go.
Still nom-ing away haha!
Now the Kangaroo look like he's eating his whole palm away.
Anyway, after Derp is done, it's time for me to feed the baby Kangaroo.
Derp warned me about the 'feeling' that I'm going to experience. Basically, I can feel their teeth very near to my skin/palm and I have to stay calm about it.
Here's me having a go at it...
Okay I was feeling quite scared at that moment. Hard not to feel scare because I can totally feel their tooth directly on my hand. Sorry Kangaroos for making your eating experience not that good. My bad. Can tell from the above picture they had to bend very low to 'eat' their food.
I'm only able to pose properly after feeding them. Yay to successfully feeding them for the first time in my life haha.
After the feeding session, the tour guide of
Caversham Wildlife Park started to talk more about
Kangaroos to us. Mainly about their life span, their body, their pouch and etc.
After which, it's time for Wombats!
Actually, the Wombat is just right infront of us. Not 5km away!
Wombat sleeps a lot in the day (like any other rodents) and they can grow up to very huge size.
Here's a pic of us and the Wombat.
The Wombat is happily sleeping away haha! #likeaboss
We were being told to touch specific areas as those were the non sensitive areas. That's simply all about Wombat. I must say, a very good life rodent-like animal haha.
Last but not least, the highlight of the place is
Koala Bear!
Most of the time they were sleeping away(due to their diet) so we were lucky enough to get up close with one that has just opened it's eyes.
Can't really tell he/she is awake anot haha!
One good example of koala who is sleeping away.
So close to them :)
Hello there!
The koala has just woke up hence looking very blur. And within minutes, it went back to sleep.
Though we were busy snapping photos and talking away, they can still sleep very well. They are indeed deep sleepers.
Last few pictures with the Koalas before we left the place and proceed to the next destination.
A total proof of the Koala went back to sleep right away lol.
After we left
Caversham Wildlife Park, we were being brought to
Lobster Shack to have our lunch.
Some more scenery pictures while on the way to the next destination...
Perth is indeed very relaxing with scenery like such :)
We had a stopover at a beach and the view is pretty scenic.
Can barely opened my eyes with the strong wind blowing so strongly.
We reached Lobster Shack slightly before lunch time. As they need time to prepare our lunch (yup they only start preparing the food upon our arrival), we were being brought to go through a short tour before eating.
It was a interesting tour, not as boring as what I initial though it will be like.
Lots of lobsters for our viewing.
They were being separated according to their weight.
It's very noisy inside because of the on going water current that's keeping the lobsters alive. And it's a indoor place hence making the whole place pretty noisy.
Close up of them.
We were each given this device to 'hear' the guided tour as we go along.
We were able to see how the staffs handle the lobsters behind the scene too.
All the bubbles/foams were to clean the lobsters if I never remember wrongly.
Last few pictures before we exit the tour area for our lunch..
And it's time for lunch! Looking forward to the yummy lobster lunch.
We upgraded this lunch before we flew over to
Perth through our tour agency. Were given the option to top up a small amount of money to the overall tour price so we went ahead. No regrets as it was much cheaper to do so as compare to ordering the lobster lunch on the spot.
Were given this to present to them for our lunch.
Our lunch is served!
Looking at this picture makes me drool..
Mandatory pics before we dined in..
The lobster lunch was really yummy and filling. The lobster is huge and fleshy. The meat is very juicy and fresh.
The top up to upgrade to lobster lunch was well spent.
The 2nd last location of the tour was The Pinnacles. Kind of stoked to see a huge kangaroo footprint while we were walking around :) Probably a adult Kangaroo and it might have left the place not long ago. But oh well, they jumped really fast haha!
Huge dessert.
All of those stones behind us are natural lime stones formation.
The whole place is very big and we gave up after walking for a short while.
No idea what Derp is doing here though haha!
Found a random spot to take a self timer picture.
The place is very huge so it's not that difficult to find a spot to take nice photos with no people photobombing your picture at the background.
Another picture suggested by Derp. lol.
No idea what he trying to show though. Show us touching the rocks? :)
And here he is, acting thirsty and crawling around the dessert to find water lol.
Time for us to head back to board the tour bus to head to our last location.
Last activity of the day was
Sand Boarding 4WD at
Lancelin.
It does look like snow from certain angle. But this snow will never melt even in summer!
It's actually very windy/cooling despite the scorching sun. We actually didn't sweat the whole day as it was not as humid as back in Singapore The air is much more dry.
Took some photos before we board the bus for the 4WD ride.
Love this photo the most ;)
The 4WD commence shortly after the bus was 'transformed'. We were on board the bus all the while and basically I will describe the whole ride as a roller coaster ride. The driver will first drive us to a high peak before 'diving' down.
We did that for a few rounds before stopping. Not all the sand around the area were suitable for this kind of activity. On and off, the driver will get down to check it out before proceeding. It was indeed very exciting.
We proceed to do Sand Boarding next. It was the most tiring thing we have done throughout the whole trip. Never expect it to be so shag though. We were each given a board to do sand boarding.
That's Derp getting ready to go down the sand on the board.
And that's me haha!
We took lots of video and I usually get stuck half way through the journey down the sand slopes. It was the climbing up that was 10 times more difficult that going down. Thighs can get really sore from doing so.
Derp went to give it a last shot before we call it a day.
And so he went to so high up. I was too tired to follow so I stay put at where I was haha.
Before he went down..
We were brought to a place to wash up and the amount of sand we had in our shoes were really impressive. Really lots of sand has gotten into our shoes.
Oh well, we can't do this activity with slippers/barefoot as it will be too dangerous haha. So be prepared for lots of sand getting into your shoes/pockets of your pants too!
Time to head back to Perth after a long day..
Sunset was so magnificent and pretty that day :)
We reached back to
Perth probably around 7-8pm. It was quite late already so we decide to head back to where we had lunch on the first day,
Nao's Japanese Restaurant, to settle our dinner.
I ordered the Shio Ramen.
While Derp ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen.
That's all about Day 3 of our Perth Honeymoon Trip :) Day 4 was a exciting one because we headed to Rottnest Island. The major highlight of our trip.
I hope I will get down to writing them soon! For more of my Perth travelogue, you may click
