The unplanned cave

4 April

Today we leave Yallingup and start to head north to Bunbury. Just a couple of meters away from our Yallingup apartment, there's this tourist attraction Ngilgi Caves.

Mummy suggested we just go take some pictures and see how the information area looks like. upon reaching there, she found out that there's a semi guided tour that was about to start at 10am. After much consideration, daddy and mummy decided to go caving.

It was the best workout mummy had after a very long time. The amount of steps that were in the cave and the humidity and the ups and downs, mummy said it felt like a total body workout cum suana.

After the caves, daddy started to drive up North to Bunbury. Time to nap. When I woke up I found myself in this park called the Big Swamp Wildlife Park. Had my lunch there and after that, we started to walk around the park. There were birds, kangaroos, birds, ducks, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, birds and two huge emus.

A bird attacked me while mummy and daddy were trying to feed the other birds. It first invaded my stroller and then its claw got on my knee. Mummy shoo-ed it away. :p

After the park, we checked into our new apartment, Bunbury Motel & Serviced Apartments. The place is soooo nice. I think its the best of the few apartments that we have stayed in. They have a spa tub in the bathroom!!! Finially I can take a decent bath.

Rested in the apartment and headed to the CBD area to get take out. Mummy and Daddy had take out from Buck's Diner, where they had some steak sandwich (Finally a day without fish & chips for daddy).

I love playgrounds!!!

3 April
There are many birds in Australia. I love to terrorise them and watch them watch me. :p

The venue, Busselton Jetty. With the sky in clear blue and the wind blowing, it was a great day to get out there to see some corals and underwater life. But when we reached there, we only got to know that the jetty is CLOSED!! Not just for a day but for one entire year. Such a shame.

In the end, its time for me to play in the playground nearby. :)

With all the hyperness at the playground, I dedcided to sleep than to eat my lunch and in the end, I had late lunch. Daddy drove to Dunsborough and I had my lunch there. Daddy had fish & chips (#4), mummy had Shrimp Burger.

Where dogs and babe rule

2 April

It was a bright and cool day. Daddy decided that we will go to a place where there are sheeps, sheeps, sheeps, sheeps, and dogs. Somewhere close to our apartment, there is a place called Yallingup Shearing Shed, where they demonstrate how to shear sheep and also how sheepdogs work. The show time is at 11am so we have some time to roam around the shed to see some sheeps, lambs, rams and feed them.

Here's a video of how the uncle in the shed shears the sheep. Its not the full video and what he is shearing is known as the belly wool.

Here's another video of how the two clever sheepdog help the uncle in gathering the sheep from the open to bring them into the sheep pen. They are so active, I get abit scared by the brown dog known as Bruce.

After watching the dogs, I fell asleep while some of the lambs were let out to be bottle fed. Anyways, I was too young to do that so nothing was missed. :p

After the shearing shed, Daddy drove down to the town in Margaret River thinking of getting some lunch for a picnic at The Sunflower Animal Farm. They got some potato salad and also a roast chicken. However, when we reached there, it started raining and I decided to go on a food fast. In the end, mummy got fed up trying to feed me (I didn't even take a spoonful of that yucky cereal) that she told daddy to head back to the apartment. When we reached back the apartment, the weather took a 180degree change and it turned all sunny and bright. The rest of the day was spent in the apartment until dinner.

While I was taking my nap, mummy ventured into the abandoned vineyard, plucked out some grapes and took this picture.

Before heading out to buy dinner, I voiced out my plans on where I would want to go the next day.

For dinner, we went to Dunsborough and bought take out dinner from Squid Lips. Daddy had fish and chips (#3) and mummy had squid and chips.

The cow and I

1 April
Before leaving Pemberton, I had a last chance to see how the sheep, kangaroo, goat and horse are being fed.




We made our way to Augusta to visit a lighthouse known as the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. I didn't go into the lighthouse but just hanged around the cafe and information area. But we could see the lighthouse even from afar.



We had lunch at Augusta. Daddy and Mummy had fish & chips (#2 for Daddy). After that, it was a drive up to the well known Margaret River. First stop in Margaret River is the Margaret River Fudge Factory. There were alot of chocolate shaped rabbits and nice smelling fudge. Walked around the area and decided we will come back again another time.


We move northwards to Cowaramup. It is a small town where its also known as Cow Town. There is this shop called the Candy Cow shop which is very colorful and had lots and lots and lots of cows and sweets and chocolates and candies. The cow caught my attention. Mummy gave one to me and it never left my arms. hahaha. Too bad we missed the making of the Honeycrunch but the aunty at the counter gave us a packet of Honeycrunch for free with all our other purchases.



Moving north again, we reached Yallingup where we will stay for the next few days. We stayed at this disfunct estate which only has the lodge in operation. The winery and the restaurant in the estate is for sale. Its called Sienna Estate. We stayed in Sienna Lodge.

Daddy and mummy were a little lost for dinner and they ended up in Dunsborough buying take out.
