hi seagal
We used Red Spot during our trip in June. It's zero excess and they are flexible. No extra charges for returning the car at the airport. We are very happy with them. Their website is http://www.redspotrentals.com.au/v2/.
My sister who is an icecream lover prefers Oggies @ Swan Lake to the Simmos. haha.. for me, not an ice-cream lover, I can't tell the difference though.

Hi All
I'm back from Perth !
Albany is a nice place to retire ! Tranquil ! mmmm...
Some things to recommend you guyz :-
Berry Farm at Margaret River for wine and food. Tried the Platter for 2 really big portion. Enough for 2 Adults and a child ! Cost - A$40
Spagetti Bowl at Margaret River Town. Open from 6pm onwards... Nice food... yummy....
Other than food, the usuals are lookout, lighthouse, beaches and caves...
Farms - Pentland Alpaca Farm is recommended. A lot of animals to feed but there is an admission charge of erm... A$10 ? cant rem... Food for animals are provided.
Sunflowers Animal Farm rank No. 2 for me. Admission is with a fee and a bucket of food for animals cost A$3.
Hope you guyz enjoy your coming trip ya !

Hi Mezzo
By the time we reached Albany is already about 4pm and we went to the beach and Mount Adelaide to watch sunset so by the time we move back down the eateries are mostly closed.
So we went to IGA (supermart) which closed at 9pm and bot things to cook for dinner and next day breakfast.
We stayed at Dolphin Lodge which is fully self-contained with all the pots n pans n utensils !

Seagal,
Yap I read the recommended and I hope to get something with Kitchen so I will have choice of whether to cook for boy anot. As he is a very fussy eater so I can cook porriage to bring out for him if he dun want to eat any outside food. And I also dun feel good to feed him all outside food for the days, not healthy.
You trying to book the beach studio or the spa villa?

Chaye,
Yap it look nice from the web but actually this is not my first choice initially I want to book Hilltop Studio http://www.hilltopstudios.com.au/index.htm and they have this promotion midweek free 1 night with 2 night stay so the price work out to be about the same. But because I dily daly and reply them few days later the room I want was being taken up but my frd highly recommend this studio as it have very nice view. The reason for me to thk longer before book was because my frd told me they do not have any Salite so no TV program the only channel they have are ABC and GWN so you can only watch DVD. My hb need TV to make him sleep tat was the reason I was replying late to the studio. So anyone going to MR can consider this Studio.

Hi gals,
We are back from Aussieland. =D
Had a great time there & will definitely go back again!!
Accommodation,
Would highly recommend these 3 places we stayed at:
a) Cape Howe Cottages (between Albany and Denmark)
Our thumbs-up winner! Stayed at the Snug which is a 2 bedroom beautiful country-style cottage with full gourmet kitchen. Their homemade curries are a must try. Super cosy. We loved it so much that we stayed for 1 more night.
We could also plant a tree at their premise but pity we had to give this a miss as there wasn't enough time. They have a huge natural compound for exploring as well but we ran short of time to do that. We will sure go back there again. Very friendly and unassuming owners.
They have won numerous tourism and business awards as well.
www.capehowe.com.au
b) Pump Hill Farm Cottages (Pemberton)
Simple cottage nested within a farm. Must go for the morning hay ride to feed farm animals and collect warm eggs from hens shed. Their friendly ducks roamed freely around the cottages and my gal loved chasing them. Lots of beautiful singing birds too.
www.pumphill.com.au
c) Vintages Motel (Margaret River)
This was recommended by some mummies here. Very clean with tasteful designer-style decor comparable to a 5-star hotel imo. Very near town and good base for doing some shopping. There are some very lovely shops in the town centre.
http://www.vintagesmargaretriver.com.au/
Food,
We did our own cooking most days but these are some good places which we ate at:
Pemberton - Lavender & Berry Farm
Margaret River - Cape Lavender, Spaghetti Bowl
Fremantle - Tried both Cicerellos & Kailis. Each has its own merits so can't really decide which one is better. Cicerellos has a big fish tank - good for the kids.
Walpole - Bow Bridge Cafe (nice scones!)
Perth City - Hong Kong BBQ place in NorthBridge (good fried rice, sweet sour pork & char siew...maybe becos we were deprived of chinese food, haha)
There's also a cheap & good Jap cafe called Taka in Perth City just at the top end of Barrack Street. A lot of locals go there too.
For souvenirs, can go to this stall in E-shed markets run by a Singaporean couple. Their prices are very reasonable and they are real nice folks. Recommended us to eat at Taka, buy strawberries from this wholesale place north of Perth (AUD8 to AUD12 per kg depending on the size and guaranteed sweet!). They are opening a shop in Perth City's Hay Street this Friday.
I've also fell in love with the Olive Oil Soap Factory in Margaret River. Their room diffuser oils are lovely. The owner Louis was also very nice to customise bath gel & hand lotion travel packs for me to bring back to SG. He told me that they also supply wholesale to Raffles Hotel here. They have an online shop too so can order via internet to stock up on supplies.
http://www.oliveoilsoapfactory.com.au/
That's about all I can think of for now... gotta go do my unpacking and sort out my photos.
Let me know if anyone of you need more info & I will be glad to assist. =D

Sunnyling,
My gal was quite excited so didn't really sleep during the flight. She only slept at most 2 hours. Wanted to let her rest a bit when we reached Perth hotel but we couldn't get an early check-in unfortunately. In the end, she only took short naps in the car, haha.....
Perhaps you can try letting your boy sleep as much as he can during the daytime before the flight just so that he will be less cranky if he doesn't get enough sleep at night.

mngo,
ya lor, so sorry. we were really in a rush so didn't get the chance to call you.
Simon is a nice guy isn't he? You can pop by to say hi to him at their new shop on 530 Hay Street just right opposite King's Hotel. The strawberry wholesale place is along the top end of Alexander Drive (after Hepburn Ave and before Gnangara Drive (Road?) if you are travelling from Perth City direction. It's called Berry King i think.

Hepburn Avenue is an arterial east-west road in Perth, Australia. It is located within the northern suburbs of Perth, from Sorrento in the west, to Alexander Heights in the east. Hepburn Avenue begins in a roundabout intersection, joining with West Coast Drive, Whitfords Avenue and Hillarys Boat Harbour carpark, and ends at a traffic light controlled intersection with Alexander Drive. Hepburn Avenue provides direct access to Kingsway Shopping Centre in Madeley and St Stephen's School in Duncraig, as well as the Greenwood railway station, which was constructed at the Mitchell Freeway intersection in late 2004. Hepburn Avenue is a dual carriageway west of Wanneroo Road and a two-way road east of Wanneroo Road. State Route 82 starts at the roundabout where Hepburn Avenue begins, but only extends eastwards to Wanneroo Road.
** would have expected tat area, cos that's where Simon and family lives. they live at Sorrento / Hillarys

Hello Mummies,
We are thinking to bring our 15mth old boy to Perth ... maybe Nov or Dec ... no concrete plan yet ... it would be free and easy style. However, both of us do not know how to drive ... I am wondering if the public transport is easy accessible and baby friendly or not.
From this thread, seem like Albany is a nice place to go. May I know how to get there?
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance.

albany is many many hours away from perth.
If might need to take a 2 day tour to go there. Abt 6 hours drive.
If you do not know how to drive, you need to stay in city or a place where it's got train station. public transport is child friendly. BUT some buses only comes once in an hour. You have to catch the bus timing.
Also, taxis are really expensive. If you want to go up to King's Park, i dunno how if you dont have a car. Maybe you can take perth tram - but expensive.

Indeed Albany is very nice place. But like mngo said, it is quite a distance from Perth. We drove and it took us 6hr+ with some stopovers.
In Perth city, there are free transport called CATS buses. You may like do some googling for more information. Taxis are really very expensive..
Enjoy your trip!

Hi all,
Now more free to update my trip.
Busselton Jetty - Very nice view, my son enjoy the beach very much.
Accomodation - Blue Bay Apartment - Very clean and price very reasonable (A$95/night) with full Kitchen facilities and BBQ facilities. We have BBQ food for our dinner that night. Highly recommended.
Try to upload some pictures of the apartment later.
Margaret River - My son enjoy the Yallingup Shearing Shed and Sunflower animal farm very much. Miss the cave as we miscalculate the timing on the road.
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse - Nice view but was raining that day and my son is under 4 years old so is not allow to go up the lighthouse. We also reach very late that day and they are closing so just stay ard 20 mins only.
Voyager Estate - Wanted to have lunch there but fully booked so disappointed so just walk ard and buy wine
Cape Lavender - was raining quite heavy so we just stay ard 10 minutes.
Margaret River Chocolate Factory - The chocolate is yummy and free tasting!!!!
Accomodation - Losari Beach Studio
Quite expensive but full kitchen facilities (include oil, salt, pepper and washing detergent). Open concept so my hubby dun really like as he cant watch Televsion when I trying to make my son sleep. But is good they have washing machine and dryer (with washing detergent but I bring my own)so I can wash all my cloth before I go back Perth. They also have BBQ facilities but dun look clean to us so we did not use their BBQ facility. The aparment in Busselton provide more which include aluminium foil etc and much cheaper. It is also a distance drive to town which is not that convenience.
I try to load some pictures of the apartment later.
Bunbury Dolphine Discover Centre - We waited for 2 hrs+ but nv manage to see any dolphine. Maybe because it was raining so the sea was very rocky. We reach ard 11+ and the staff there say the dolphine was there ard 10am. But I manage to see the dolphine at my SIL house in Perth haha.
Think that about all.

Hi Foreverfriends,
I write email to the apartment for the booking. (website: http://www.bluebayapartments.com/home/facilities) Blue Bay is very near to city, jetty and the Supermarket. Jetty and supermarket is within walking distance but as we have car so we drive around everywhere. For the CATS bus station, I am not sure where is location so cant advise you.
The apartment I stay is 1 bedroom, should be able to accomodate 2-3 pax as there is 1 queen size bed and 1 single bed (the single bed is below the queen size bed).
All pots, knief, spoon, fork, gas, oil, salt pepper etch are provided in their kitchen not sure what you look for but is with full kitchen facilities.

Hi All,
We are going to Perth for 5 days in Feb 09. We are thinking of going to Swan Valley and maybe Fremantle as I am going for only a few days.
Any comments on the following place:
(1) Caversham Wildlife Park
(2) Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm http://www.cuddlyanimalfarm.com/home.htm
(3) I think we might want to stay at The Vale Bed and Breakfast since it will allow us to go to the Farm Free.
(4) Maze Sequoia Park
Thanks!

I think we will either go to the supermarket and get some marinated stuff and BBQ or we will get ready food from supermarket like roast chicken etc and eat.
How old is your kid? My son is 4, he is quite okie with whatever we eat.
