Eggs we collected

Day 5

Today was our last day in Perth. Some of us were very happy while some others were hoping that it could last longer. We joined Robin in her morning farm activities after our breakfast. We collected eggs and fed the chickens. Finaaly, we went to the airport and ate our lunch there before taking the plane back to Singapore.

Day 4

We went to St. Simon Peter Catholic Primary School today. The teacher, Ms Lloyd, prepared a short programme for us. Firstly,the student leaders lead us on a tour of the school. Next, we did some activities. They were decorating a boomarang with aboriginal drawings, colouring a traditional drawing and learning Australian rugby. Finally, we had some food and the Year 1s and 2s performed songs for us. Before we left, we exchanged gifts and contacts. After lunch, we went to Springhill Farm. After the long bus ride, we finally reached the farm. We met the farmer, Robin. We  took a short and bumpy ride on the van around the farm. She allowed us to enter her canola field. We were given time to look around the farm while she and her helper prepared dinner. We also had a campfire. We were tired and went to bed.

We had our breakfast in Aroma Café again. After breakfast, we went to Scitech Discovery Centre. There were many things for us to do. We went to Caversham Wildlife Park after our lunch. We touched the koalas,feed the kangaroos and take pictures with a wombat. Finally, we went to Margaret River Chocolate Fatory and bought lots of choclate.

We had breakfast at Aroma Café. The food were healthy. After our healthy breakfast, we went to Rockingham Regional Environment Centre. We learnt things about how to create compost and growing an organic garden. We had the chance to taste the leaves of the salt bush and sea spinach. Finally, we were introduced to Bobby and Bubbles. They are reptiles. Bobby is a bob-tailed lizard while Bubbles is a blue tongued skink. Before we went for our lunch, we decorated our own recyclable bag. We had our lunch at the Cicerello's Seafood Restaurant. After a hearty meal, we went the famous Fremantle Weekend Market to shop. It was our first time spending Aussie dollars. We went for dinner and got back to the hotel for our rest.

King's Park

The hotel that we stayed in for the first 3 nights

Day 1

We arrived at Perth International Airport at about 3pm. When we stepped out of the airport, we could feel the chilly wind. In a flash, we put on our warm clothings. Our bus driver, Mark, took us to King's Park. After that, we checked into the New Esplanade Hotel and went for dinner. It began to rain when we left the hotel. The umbrellas and raincoats were taken out without delay. The dinner was delicious. Everyone went back to the hotel for a good rest.
