Perth Road Trip



Chocolate Overload at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory




Sunflower Farm, Margaret River (A$8 per adult, A$3 per bucket of feed).  The LMM and Mami sayang-ed a baby lamb and a baby goat in the farm enclosure.  The baby goat was eyeing the food bucket Mami was carrying and got pretty aggressive trying to get the vege in the bucket.  Dad had to come into the enclosure to help separate the baby goat from Mami.  Other animals we tried to feed include ducks, kangaroos, lambs, rabbits a rather fierce emu and a silly looking llama.  The llama was a really fussy eater. Didn't like anything we gave him so we fed the leftovers to who else, but the black PIGS!!  We didn't feed the large horsey. We were convinced that our fingers wouldn't survive a snap of its jaw.

Voyager Estate, Margaret River.  This is the best lunch we had in our entire trip.  A$100 bought us a lamb and beef (see below) main and absolutely great wine!  We bought a bottle back to Sg.


The Voyager Estate has wonderfully manicured lawns. After lunch, we let the LMM run loose on the grounds.  We sat there, enjoying the sun, and the super cool weather.


The Jewel Cave (A$19 per adult). Loads of stairs to climb, narrow walk ways.. but we made it!!! We took turns to carry the 9.5kg Travis.  There was a part where the guide turned off all the lights in the cave to let us experience complete darkness and silence.  Travis cooperated and didn't make a single sound!

Back at Isaac's Ridge. It's dinner time again.  The corn we bought at the supermarket was extremely sweet.  This picture's taken on our last night in Margaret River before we made our way up north to Perth.  We knew that we'll miss this place.  Lead We cooked all these food for Mami.

The Aquarium of Western Australia, Perth City.  This is Australia's largest aquarium and underwater tunnel.  We saw lots of giant sharks, rays and really huge turtles. 
Travis learns to feed himself during this trip.  Maybe its because we aren't as fussy about keeping the floor CLEAN at all times.  So he gets a lot of practice.
Travis at the Fremantle Markets. Pictured here touching a sheep skin carpet.  The market reminded us of the night markets in Bangkok. The fruits and vegetables looked extremely fresh. I would even say beautiful.

This picture's one of the last few we took in Australia, at the pier in Fremantle, after a hearty meal of Fish and Chips at the famous Cicerello's.
