Another Day Of Adventure

Weather was pretty hot today as we headed back to Margaret River region once again since it’s about 45 minutes’ drive from we were. There is quite an exciting plan ahead of us today as we will be visiting some places which are not for usual tourist… that’s what I called an ADVENTURE.

Our first stop this morning was visitation to the Sunflower Farm which is one of the most popular farms in Perth and Margaret River region. It was pretty much like a mini children zoo where kids were able to buy animal food for feeding. We bought them in buckets and the excited kiddos started to feed the hungry goats, birds, ponies and even the wild pigs! Honestly, we are not sure if the animals were overfed… hahaahahahah
As our plan for the day was pretty tied, we headed down to have early lunch or brunch before our long drive to the forest. J Prevelly is such a lovely place! While waiting for the café to be ready for lunch, we headed to the nearby beach for a stroll while the kids & elderly had fun on the swings which reminded them of their younger days.
We stopped by for our brunch at Sea Garden and we simply love this café which served up fantastic food with a breath-taking view! Lady Faith enjoyed her fish & chips which she managed to clear the plates on her own! We gave the food two thumps up and the price was much cheaper compared to the luncheon we had at Margaret River yesterday.

It was such an exciting drive through the Karri Forest where you get to see many different types of trees. It felt like a fairy-tale as you drive deeper into the forest. It somehow gave us a scare as we can’t seem to find our way out from the ‘highest viewpoint’. At the viewing point, the view was breath-taking indeed and you will not get to see anything like this back home. I am truly glad that we made it to this place though it was not easy to track. We tried to remember the route but somehow it took us about 20 minutes before we managed to get out of the forest.
Before heading back for dinner, we stopped by at The Margaret River Dairy Company where we bought some cheese, yoghurt and ice-cream as our dessert later tonight. It was amazingly cheap and I wished I could have them aired back to Singapore.
We found a visitor at our garden area when we arrived home. The cutie kangaroo was chilling out on its own and when we approached it, it stood up and looked like it was greeting us and slowly it hoped away! This would be the closest encounter with a wild kangaroo so far.

Tonight’s dinner was prepared by the ladies! We joined hands to whip up a good Italian feast with pasta, pizza and roast chicken (bought from the supermarket). We also had the stir-fried mushroom and vegetables as our sides and it was a total sell-out! Woohoo!!!
We ended the day with our desserts bought from the diary company and the yoghurt was so delicious and smooth! THUMPS UP!!!!
