We woke up to another sumptuous breakfast prepared by the owners. Before we left, we were also invited to a ride on the tractor with Philip, the male owner! Of course we readily agreed to it. Hubby and I hopped into the small space in the tractor with him while he brought us to visit his cows. We remained in the tractor while he went down to shift the hay. There were so many interesting features in the farm that I actually thought we could take our future wedding photoshoot here!

The owners learnt that we were heading back to Perth city. So, they recommended we take another route where we would be able to cover a wildlife park and a boat harbour. Of course, we followed their recommendations! And since then, I made it a point to ask for recommendations when I stayed with locals! Before we left, I made sure we took along all our roses!
We stopped by the Caversham Wildlife Park. There were free-roaming kangaroos who greeted us upon entering the park. We could purchase feeds for the kangaroos and feed them on hand. However, I wasn’t particularly an animal lover. I was happy just watching hubby feed them while I take photos of them! We also saw koalas lazing on the trees. I was all prepared to hug them. Really looked forward to it. But I was scared of skin-to-skin contact, hence, I had my long sleeve top prepared. But I learnt that it was not allowed and I could only stroke the koalas using the back of my hands. Nonetheless, I was happy to stroke them!!
There were other animals like goats and sheep shearing demonstration. When I saw how the young kids were allowed to participate in feeding of the goats, I made a mental note that I wanted to bring my kids here in future. At the retail shop, I brought a kangaroo home and continued my collection of 1 soft toy from each country!
We drove on and began to see the sea. We have arrived at the Hillarys Boat Harbour. We strolled along the Sorrento Quay Boardwalk, looked at yachts and watched people play in the water. It was interesting to see a water slide feature in the middle of the water!
The drive back to the city was scenic. The coast was on our right while there was a line of houses facing the sea on our left. Perhaps 1 of the criteria for my dream house includes a view of the sea. Haha!
We checked in to the Ibis Hotel. It was a basic room, nothing fanciful, but good enough for 2 nights’ rest. It was easy to miss the carpark though. I remember we went around the hotel twice because we missed it the 1st time.
That night, we strolled out for dinner. Apart from cafes and some shops that were already closed for the evening, there seems like not much in the city. We continued walking till we reached the bell tower. It was already dark, so we could only see the bell tower change its colour in the dark. Though there was nothing much at night, I enjoyed the leisurely stroll in the cooling weather.
