Ya 8 weeks just passed so fast! Its been a wonderful trip. weather was good – nice & cool except the last 2 days in perth, it started to get warm & flies are beginning to invade everywhere.
The swan riverside apartment is excellent! Its exactly what u see in their website. But will be perfect if the other 2 rooms are airconditioned. Actually we didn’t even on the aircon except the last 2 days, as the weather is cool enough with the evening breeze when the balcony door/ window is opened. the owner (deirdre) is nice, even prepare bread & milk for us though we not arriving late. there's games & toys for the kids too. the apartment is well stock with other cooking amenities but i didnt cook this trip as my kiddos are ok with tapao food. actually i lazy to cook lah
I hv visited most of the places in my planned itinerary except the strawberry field coz the weather is simply too hot to be under the sun without any sunblock. I aready kena sunburn on my face
Mummies going to perth soon or during summer, please don’t forget to bring along sunscreen.

day 4
animal feeding @ 9am
as its not a working farm so animals are few, but good enough to experience farm stay.
berry farm
the garden is pathetic, probably not in season for berries. But their jams are yummy & i like their strawberry sparkling wine. There’s a playground so kids can play while we grab abite.
cape leeuwin
the view is spectacular! Unfortunately i didn’t go up the lighthouse as my boy is underage. Strictly for kisa 4 yrs abv & hv to climb up themselves as the stairs are very steep. So my hubby went up with my gal. I spotted a whale too while waiting for them to finish the lighthouse tour.

day 6
golden grove orchard
was a fun & fruitful trip! Set on the tractor ride to the orchard & sample different types of orange & grapefruit. I must say they got the sweetest orange i ever eaten. Really different fr those we got fr supermarket. We bought abt 10 big oranges back & realised its not even enough!! Regretted, should hv bought more.
The sun was scorching hot so decided to give the strawberry field a miss. Don’t want to risk the kids getting sunburn coz i didn’t bring along any sunblock, just hats for them.
Pass by a huge playground along scenic drive @ wanneroo so stop by for the kids to play.
