Perth 2015

It looks like we will be traveling only during the school holidays now that I am in primary school and can only leave during the school holidays. Daddy planned the trip for us and also for Uncle Jason together with Janessa. We left on the 15th June and was there in Perth for almost 10 days.


We started the holiday in Swan Valley where we stayed in this farm for 3 nights and used that as a base  to get around that area. It was a very cosy farm and Aunty Sue and Uncle Ross took great care of us when we were there. Tilly the farm dog was the friendliest dog and followed us everywhere we went in the farm. From here, we visited the Pinnacles Desert and also the popular Caversham Wildlife Park where we had lots of fun feeding the kangaroos.



From Swan Valley, we drove down towards Fremantle and Busselton. We also visited Mandurah and enjoyed the cruise where we had dolphins swim alongside us as we explore the houses around Mandurah. We were supposed to walk along the long jetty at Busselton but unfortunately when we got there, it was raining quite heavily so we had to skip it and headed to our very nice AirBNB unit at Geographe. We would have loved to stay there for a couple more days but we had many things to do so we had to move on.




Daddy had wanted to check out the truffle hunt down at Manjimup but he was a little too late and all the slots were taken. We went there nonetheless and had a fantastic lunch at the truffle farm and after lunch we headed to the town's public playground which was awesome and we had lots of fun there.

Leaving Manjimup, we headed north towards Margaret River. The AirBNB that Daddy booked was a big house and apparently the temperature that night was almost zero degrees and Daddy and Uncle Jason had to go to town to buy firewoods for the fire place. It was so cold we decided to all sleep in the living room in front of the fireplace. It was a very different feeling as we have never experienced a fireplace before.


At Margaret River, we visited the Wonki Farm and even though it was drizzling a little, we walked around the farm and fed the many different kinds of animals there. We even managed to check out the orchard where we learned how to pick oranges and lemon from the tree. Too bad they didn't have strawberry in that orchard otherwise i will be eating as i walk.

On another day, we also visited the Sunflower Farm and the weather was much better and we had a lot more close encounters with the animals there. From Margaret River, we travelled back to Perth city and stayed one night there. We even managed to meet with one of Daddy's client and had dim sum lunch with their family before checking out Kings Park and then headed to the airport. It was another fun trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
