10 things I Love about Perth

Finally i get a chance to give all the blog readers a free trip to explore Perth.
Before i start mumbling, let me apologize for not blogging quite a long time.
Several excuses which should be acceptable are i went on a long trip to Perth and secondly, i couldnt got into my own blog account. WHY ?? i dont know !it jus happened ! everytime i login my username and password, i always went into a certain someone's account. that is wierd...
Ok, but now.. everything is under control. so id love to share my travelling stories and 10 things i really love in Perth - this could be used as references for anyone who's going to travel there ^_^ Here's the list.. not in order :

1. Bloom . . . bloom. . . and blooming. . .
Flowers flowers and flowers .Perth is full of beautiful and unique wildflowers in Spring.


I love Tulips


Never expect to see Sakura in Oz

2. The beach and the sea
Who doesnt love beach ? i always love beach, thats why i enjoy Bali so much when i travelled there last year end. Its always a good feeling to see the blue- breathtaking view and smell the breeze of the water by the beach.

The biggest Light house in Oz, the Cape Leeuwin.
Here's where Southern Ocean n Indian Ocean meets . . .

Who disagree with me ?
Perth got loads of fishing boats, which could be seen at Fishing boat harbour and Sorrento quay ( Hillary harbour) plus Nice and clean river by Port Bourvard Bridge in Mandurah makes me wanna swim . The water is so clean so you can see through to the bottom. Who wouldnt fall in love in Perth ? ^ ^

3. Large vineyards - famous winery
Who drinks ? i do, sometimes. but not this time... cus i always got sick if i drink when travelling.
I went to Xanadu and Houghton for FREE wine tasting ( jus a little bit), but they have the best wine ( and also CHEAP ) in Perth. I bought 2 bottles of wine, one red and one white wine fo my parents. Its only like AUD$10 - $20 each.

4. The City
I'm so thrilled explaining about the City. As i had thought before, i could memorize all the streets in CENTRAL city in 2 days, and i dont have any problem of wandering around by myself there. Try having lunch in Shimizu, they have the best japanese food in City.

From Hay St

Dont forget to take picture in front of London Court. It's not really a court, but its an alley which connect you to St.George Terrace from Hay St. It has a diffrent environment, the shops, the buildings, its UNIQUE!

London Court

Oh yeah ! i also got a chance to see some people fought in the central city when i was sitting on a bench and enjoying my Gelati. It's not something you see everyday... ( this doesnt mean Perth is a brutal city ,lol )
One tourism resort i could not miss is Swan Bells. A famous tower shaped like a swan built around a pond (so it looks like swan swimming on the water) at Barrack Square. I thought i already took some pictures in front of the tower.. and i was pretty sure about it. When i finally realised, i took them at the other side. means.... Swan's Butt -_-" But i still think its the best angle !

I wonder why its more popular with the swan 'butt'


The Swan and the Princess (hehe)

5. The Fremantle
It looks like an old fashioned city, with old buildings, but so unique. Its a great place to visit for tourists. I went to the famous old fremantle prison, and the fishing boat harbor, and so on. The market only open in weekends though...

May be you wonder what building it is..
so many "West Coast" suporter watched the game on tv there


Blue Sky.. Fremantle on high


Old Fremantle Prison, always looks better from the outside

6. Amazing yet mysterious nature tourism resort.
Seeing is believeing... I went to Pinnacles dessert, Margaret River Tour, and still Wave rock is my favourite !

Amazing huh...

7. Kings Park
The best view of Perth city can be viewed here, in Kings park. I took some pictures of the wild flowers too, and the city view. I also went there the night before i left Perth jus to take a nice photography of the night city view. It was so beautiful ^ ^


Always love flowers

10. But most of all, i love Perth because of there's also a place which feels like home somewhere in Murdoch.

My home for 3 weeks long

My Auntie's home. She took a good care of me, spoiled me, and makes me feel comfortable to live there. She's also a GREAT cook, fed me until i gain 3 kgs just in 3 weeks. She has naughty yet adorable kids which always warm the house eventhough its 15 degrees out there everyday.
