I went to Perth last year during my semester break with mummy, and it was an awesome one! it was my first visit to Aussie and I love it so much! Wish to have a chance to visit Australia again. We went there during August, so it was almost late winter. Freezing cold! haha not really, but really cold for me. a tropical girl XD
We booked the day tour package from Valentino Holidays PTY LTD in Perth. we went there for 5 days 4 nights, and both of us had a lot of fun! In the second day, we went for a half day morning tour: Perth and Fremantle Tour. After had our breakfast in Criterion Hotel, we walked across the road and assemble at the Kings Hotel for Australian Pinnacles Tours coach pick up for the half day tour.
**This is not a private transfer and we needed wait for other passengers, and of course don be late for it. We assemble at there around 7.15am in the morning. Woosa Woosa Hello Perth!
We first took the bus to Barrack Square then board on another bus to the Fremantle. It costed us about $77 each. ($= Australian dollar) The tour took around 4 hours, which we will come back to Barrack Square around 1pm then. After everyone boarded on the bus, we then started our journey of the day!!
The bus drove past Perth Mint, Northbridge ( also called as Chinatown) and Queens Gardens. Unfortunately i cant see any black swans that time >< maybe it was too cold tat time? emo ar. Then we travelled past the famous Swan River, Bell Tower and the Central Business District area. Thanks to the convenient CATS bus service, less traffic jam on the road as the ppl were taking public bus to work. The Perth City was so impressive enuf, much beautiful than stupid Putrajaya ( undeniable, Putrajaya looks like a zombie city than a capital city lol). Nice to enjoy the view on the bus hehe ^^
Here comes our first stop: Kings Park. They got Queens Park and Kings Park in Perth, but we only stopped for one. The Kings Park was greenish in colour, and the trees in the park looked totally different from what we got in Malaysia. I love it so much becoz i always look forward for a trip like tis, some sort of Western trip hehe. Not very sure with the entrance fees becoz everything was included in $77 hehe.
妈咪与美丽的国王公园。 这棵树．．．很有风味哈哈. dunno how to describe but it was really beautiful. like tis picture =))
The amazing view of Perth City and Swan River from the observatory platform at King's Park.
Me with mummy and the Perth City view

Me with the historical State War Memorial Precinct.
mummy with a special tree in the park. I forgot its name but i remembered that it was a special one. Some sort like water storing function in the trunk. is it 面包树？Its english name is BOABS which drops all its leaves during dry season. erm, winter=dry season? im not sure about that haha.
Me with the tree top walk. Picture by mummy. Obviously her shooting skill is 100x better than me. Neh i had no idea about photo shooting skill tat time.
After about 45 minutes in Kings Park ( totally not enuf time for me! We did not visited to the DNA tower due to time constrain. Said wanna go back there again but we forgot how to go there =..= ) we departed to Fremantle. Here is some information about Fremantle
Fremantle /ˈfriːmæntəl/ is a city in Western Australia, located at the mouth of the Swan River. Fremantle Harbour serves as the port of Perth, the state capital. Fremantle was the first area settled by the Swan River colonists in 1829. It was declared a city in 1929, and has a population of approximately 25,000.
The bus driver stopped us at the Fremantle Port a while for photo shooting, but i cant find my photo =..= not really special, just a normal port for me. Or i missed out something interesting?? haha. Then he stopped us at a junction on the road, gave us around 2 hours time for visit. We may chose to go back on our own to Perth by train, taxi or cruise on Swan river. But becoz me n mummy did not do homework for it so we followed the bus back to Perth. Along the road, we shopped for a lot of souvenirs ^^
a church at the junction of the road. typical western style lol haha.
Then we walked to the Fremantle Prison. haha we did not really plan for it, just follow the road sign hehe. There was 5 tours available, which were Prison Day Tours ( Doing Time Tour or Great Escape Tour), Tunnel Tour and Torchlight Tour. visit HERE for more information. Due to time constrain we did not really pay for the visit, as the shortest Doing Time Tour took up to 1 hour 15 minutes. We just hang around at the entrance area for some photos =))
The outlook of the entrance of the prison. It was empty now and became a tourist hot spot for CERTAIN REASON. erm, better don discuss it now, scary haha
This is not Conjuring, this is my mom from outside when i was in the prison room haha. We left there after around 30 minutes visit to our next target place.
here we were! the Fremantle weekend market. Too bad we were not going there during weekend. no shopping..... >< huhuhuhu
On the way back to Perth. Beautiful Ocean and road side view =)) If you planned to stay and go back on your own, don forget to try out their fish and chip! Fremantle is so famous with fish and chip. T..T too bad i don have the chance to try it out. huhu
We reached Barrack Square around 1pm, then we took the blue CAT bus to William Street for lunch.
hang around at the street in Perth. haha
my outfit:

In the evening, we took the ferry to Mends Street Jetty for a walk. Do remember to check for their ferry schedule =)) Enjoy the view of Swan River!! haha
Night time, we went to Northbridge for dinner, And we had the chinese cuisine hehe. The tauke very nice, maybe becoz we were chinese too? and their food tasted nice!

Night walk in Perth. The road was so quiet although it was just around 9pm that time. Different from Malaysia haha. Not so sure maybe becoz we were not walking to the club area? haha
