It's already day 3 of our trip, made breakfast with the ingredients we bought from
Coles yesterday during dinner. Cooked some scrambled eggs, ham and frozen pizza. Today we will be visiting the
Caversham Wildlife Park and also the E-Shed Markets as I heard that they sell cheap souvenirs.
Our OOTD for day 3!
On our way to Caversham Wildlife Park. It's about 30 minutes ride from where our rented apartment is. Seeing the scenery outside made me really delighted and excited cause I felt like we're on a road trip.
Here we are!
There's actually cafe and museum nearby Caversham Wildlife Park but we did not visit. We headed to the Visitor Centre to purchase our tickets.

The park is open from 9 am to 5.30 pm every day except for Christmas. Check out their website for more information! There's also different timings for the animal shows, which we did not watch, unfortunately.
We walked around and came to the Kangaroo enclosure. Once we stepped into the enclosure, we were greeted by lots and lots of kangaroo! They will roam around their enclosure and you can purchase the animal feed to feed them, or take photos with them. They're really tamed and comfortable with humans around them.
Caught sight of one of the young feeding from its mother's pouch!
There's a few different breed of kangaroos in the enclosure. They have the Agile Wallaby, Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby and Red Kangaroo. Not too sure if there's any other breed.
Here's my take on taking a selfie with a kangaroo!
There's soooooo many kangaroos inside. But beware where you're stepping as there's lots of kangaroo poops on the ground as well. Hehe.
The Koala Bear enclosure! You can't really hug the Koalas and take photo anymore but you can go up close to them, pet them gently with the back of your hand and take a photo beside me really close. But most of the time they'll be sleeping on the branches.
We came across the farm where they have donkeys, ponies, horses, sheep, goat and other farm animals where you can pet them and interact with them as well. Look at how beautiful the horse is (above)! Really love this shot.
Not sure what breed this goat is, but it looked really bored and sad.
And.. oops, took a candid shot of this horse. It seems like he wanted to say something, which I probably won't figure out ever.
The owls resting peacefully. They look really beautiful as well.
After the morning at Caversham Wildlife Park, we went to
Fremantle. We parked in front of St John's Anglican Church and went to the shops along the road to shop for a little while. Bought a jacket from Cotton On as the weather was too cold for me. Did not expect it to be so cold and all that I have packed for the trip was beach wear and a cardigan.
Next we parked at High Street and walked to E-Shed. It's about 10 minutes walk from High St. We have to walk pass these train tracks to get to
E-Shed Markets. It's a waterside market and its opening hours is 9 am to 5 pm, Friday to Sunday. So remember to visit the place if you're around Perth from Friday to Sunday! Check its website for more details!
There's a food court when you enter E-Shed Markets and I had Teriyaki Chicken Rice for lunch from one of the Japanese store. I think it is not bad, not too salty for me. Really liked it. So after that we walked around and bought some souvenirs. They sell lots of keychains, t-shirts etc. at a lower cost than what we saw at the tourist attractions area.
So, while walking back to our car after visiting E-Shed Markets, we went up to Arthur Head Reserve to look for the washroom. We caught sight of a viewing area on our way down and out of curiosity, we went to check it out. And I'm really glad that we did because the view was simply breathtaking! It's really relaxing looking at the sea waves and enjoying the breeze. I really fell in love with Perth's beaches. Every beach I went to takes my breathe away.
Next, my parents head home while me and my friend attend the church service at
Riverview Church. It was a lovely church and I met some new friends there. They told me that I have to try out the Peking Duck at Good Fortune Duck House because its really good.
After the service, I contacted my parents and was told that my dad had lost his way and is still stuck some where in the city! I was really worried and told him to wait some where and let me know the name of the road so that we could meet them there. Thanks to Google Map on my phone, I managed to find my way there (walked and took a bus) and met up with them. Thank God! Really gave me a scare.
I suggested
Good Fortune Duck House to them for dinner and they agreed. We managed to locate the nearest chain store which is 10 minutes away from where we are. I must say that I'd still prefer Singapore's Peking Duck as it's not as salty as it is in Perth, but overall the food are acceptable and not bad.
Had this interesting looking peace ice cream. It's white chocolate on the outside that form the shape of the peach, and ice cream inside. Yummy!
After dinner, we went back to our rented apartment and sat at the courtyard for a while to admire the moon, which was shining so brightly that night. It's always a good way to relax by sitting outdoor and admire/enjoy the nature.

After Little Creatures, we returned our car and took a taxi back to the airport. This trip has been an eye opener to me and I had never thought that I will love Australia as much as I do now. For those who haven't been to Australia, visit at least once in your lifetime, and remember to check out Rottnest Island!
