Perth Trip – Day 4

We are going to Margaret River today! The temperature today is -1000 degrees celsius. Super wasted. If i had known it would be so cold (the whole day i never even take off my jacket), i would have brought the other jacket (the khaki coloured one) instead. I guess it was partly because of the rain. It rained on and off the whole day. Because the journey to Margaret River takes about 4 hours, we have to set off at 7.30am. I have to wake up so super early la. Why? Because i take the longest to bathe and prepare. Hahaha!

At first i thought Margaret River is a place with a super huge river but it is actually a town. There are a lot of vineyards there which we visited too. On the way (of the 4 hour drive) there and back (another 4 hours), we stopped by certain places with picturesque views!

Mr Wind styled alot of new hairdos for me today =X Everywhere we went, it was just super windy! Windspeed on that day is estimated to be 500km/hour. Haha!

Uncle Dominic is very nice. Because he knew that it is going to be an extremely long (cold) journey, he prepared tidbits, hot drinks, soft drinks, fruit juice etc for us!

1) Mandurah City

2) Busselton Jetty

Take one picture with proper hair also difficult leh. LOL. Saw the super long jetty? It measures almost 2km long! It is the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. Also, notice the tracks next to me? It was for the train! But i think they stopped the train service already.

On the way from place to place, we saw a lot of sheeps (why wildlife park dont have sheeps ah?) and cows grazing the fields. Really a lot, i think got hundreds or even thousands that we saw out there. I tried to take pictures of it but the car’s speed was too fast. This picture above is the best one i have of the sheeps.

3) The Margaret River Dairy Company

  

Cheese tasting! I love the port cheddar cheese the best. We bought home one and everybody who tried it absolutely loved it! Im gonna see if singapore has it – we finished it up in a week . I think have la hor? Try cold storage. Haha.

Very nice flowers outside the cheese cottage! Daisies and the other one i dont know what. I think i saw rambutans on our way out too.

4) Vineyard A

We had another wine tasting session here.

See the sky? Going to rain soon.

My photography skills damn good now. The place is so beautiful isnt it?

Less than 5 minutes later – rain liao.

Fireplace and i saw the chimney outside!

We then had lunch at this little eatery called Tuck the Shop. Thats mum’s super-sized chicken burger and my tuna sandwich. I can also only manage half of my sandwich. The hot chocolate very nice but too sweet. Dad’s pie already in his tummy before i remembered to take pictures. LOL.

5) Vineyard B

I like this pic.

(While hugging the tree)

Mum: I knew you were going to hug that tree.

Me: HAHAHA!

We sounded/pulled/ringed the bell leh. So fun! And its super loud.

Fireplace again! This time round the fire stronger.

Ya i know i act cute la. LOL.

 

Roses! Do you know why roses have to be planted in front of every row of vines? This is to allow insects carrying diseases to pass on the diseases to the roses instead of the vines.

This is the grandest, nicest and biggest vineyard among all that i’ve been to.

On the way to another place, we saw cows again! Dad asked uncle Dominic to stop aside and initially we wanted to go down and cross over the road to look and take pictures of the cows but after some discussion we thought it was pretty dangerous so we decided to take the pictures from the mini van.

6) Scenic Spot A

The waves hit the rocks so violently that lots of foam is left on it leh.

Yes, i conquered and climbed up the ’slope’ of rocks to take all these pictures.

The seaview here super fantastic. You see the waves splashing against the rocks ah you go ~wahhhhh~. Super big waves and lots of people come here to wakeboard (Is that the name of the sport? That you hold a board and use the waves to transport you that one). 

Cool ah this picture.

And when you stand there (where dad is standing) and look at the view its really breath-taking.

See la, Mr Wind, i want to self-take one picture also cannot. Let me think of a name for this hairstyle. Ah! I know! Called Mee Goreng! Fried Fly all over the place!

WAHAHAHAHA!

So damn nice.

It was after we left that place that it hit me i can actually video it up. Ah, wasted. It would defintely be better than seeing the photos.

Before we left the place, we went to the No Mangoes (ladies la, haha, see previous post) first. Wah seh, metal seat sia! Haha. OMG la. LOL. (Sidetrack a bit) And ya, the first thing in the morning we all have to go to the toilet right and the hotel’s one so damn cold leh, sit until my goosebumps all come out. So this one is made of metal, dont need me to describe also know how cold liao right? Eh, put tissue paper on top also cannot tahan leh =X

7) Scenic Spot B

After a windy-ful day, i learnt how to take pictures with the wind! Tilt your head accordingly! LOL.

Stay in these houses very shiok hor, seaview leh.

Dinner is next (see the steam from the pipping hot dishes)! After eating exactly the same set meals for 2 days, we had ala carte orders today! We had fish slice beehoon (eh they add century eggs inside de leh, quite nice!), lobster, scallops with broccoli, fried rice with chicken cubes, salted egg yolk alaskan crab and last but not least seafood horfun! Horfun is the nicest, although the rest also very nice.

Yeah, dad bought another bottle of white wine today. And my face turned into 100 tomatoes soon after.

It was really a terribly cold day, not that im really complaining about it. But when we were in the mini van, all windows closed, with jackets on and so on, still super cold leh. And some roads in Australia have no street lights, which made me a little afraid while sitting in the van. Cars travelling at high speed somemore ma. Have to on high beam la. Very a little scary la.

Hmm i personally feel that Margaret River not really that interesting, journey very long also, to and fro 8 hours leh. However, i do love the sceneries alot!

Australia is so beautiful!
