happy day 5, 6 & 7 - Thursday, June 29, 2006
i'm back from the farmstay last night...it was quite exhausting, driving all the way down south, and mapping as well...here's what we have done...
day 5
journey from perth to margaret river(MR) took us abt 3++ hrs...i could see lots of dead animals along the road, including kangaroos, dogs...the scenery was perfect~ but there's no one to share that special moment with me...sigh! nvm, lets move on...
visited the fudge factory in the MR town and bought a old vintage chedar cheese from the cheese factory before we headed to our little chalet name, Kookaburra. it was so homely, heehee...and had a fireplace...
feeding time!!! not me, not us...its the animals...i fed the kangroo, cows and horses...there's other small animals too like chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits and a dog.
bbq was the only thing in e menu for dinner...i was cooking in the cold, shivering like hell...haha!
day 6
1 pit stop, the berry farm. elee was so excited to pick fresh berries! but the season was over. "come again, in spring", said the lady in the cellar. we treat ourselves to some fruity & sparkling wine such as strawberry & plum...i bought the plum wine and a shiraz jelly jam, which suits my taste...heehee!
2 pit stop, honey "farm". actually, its a home honey farm...nigee & elee bought a few bottles of the sweetie.
3 pit stop, candy cow. every child's favourite place(me too)! candy, candy, candies everywhere! bought a couple of candies to fresh up my childhood memories! haha...bought a candy cow soft toy and it MOOOs~~~ heehee...i love it!

4 pit stop, margaret river chocolate company. everything abt chocolates...need i say more?

day 7
1 pit stop, cape leeuwin lighthouse. the view was magnificent! we're standing at the most south west point of western australia that divides into two of the world's greatest oceans, indian & southern ocean! the wind was at 28knots...super windy!!!
2 & 3 pit stop, mouth of the margaret river & the beach.
4 pit stop, watershed. "we will be starting from left to right, the whites then left to right, the reds." said, the lady in glasses. in total we taste a total of 10 different wines in this winery. one of the best and well known in MR. bought a bottle of shiraz for the family...
5 pit stop, busselton jetty. from starting point to the end of the jetty in normal pace...took me ard 30+-mins each! guess how long it is? its 1841metres out to the sea!
