Perth Self Drive - Day 2 Caversham Wildlife Park & Swan Valley

We knew it was a cloudy day yet we go ahead as planned.The purpose of this trip is to give my boys the closet experience with Kangaroo We reached here about 10am which the first show is about to start.

It was a farm show which the staff demonstrate how the wool is shaved from sheep. I watched a similar show at Taiwan but this one is amazed. It wasn't a fun show, the shaver skillfully shaved the wool and explain the process at the same time. The farm show ended with milk a cow session, you got a chance to milk by hand. It is a good opportunity for city boy to experience it, but unfortunately 2 of them were scared.
We managed to escape from heavy rain by enjoyed our show in sheltered area.

Like the way owl stayed at us. It was my second day with new camera X-M1 and failed to master it. But i still like its natural colors straight from jpeg.

Koala bear is another iconic animal in Australia after Kangaroo. We were lucky today because some Koala bears were awake and surprisingly active according to the staff. Koala bear usually spend most of their time to sleep.

The Kangaroo park is open to tourist and you have chance to jump together with Kangaroo. You can feed the Kangaroo with the fodder available in the park for free. My boys were busy walking around to feed the kangaroo.
It was the very first experience for my mother-in-law. She was quite curious how kangaroo carry their baby. Great she enjoyed this trip and finally witnessed there is a pocket at mummy kangaroo's tummy.

Caversham wildlife park is only one of the attraction in Swan Valley. There are park, picnic area, museum, tram ride, and others restaurants which many local spend their weekend. There was an ancient car carnival organised by nearby Motor museum. All the cars are well maintain and they do look "sexy".

We back to Perth city after have our late lunch at the cafe nearby. Bell tower is one of the attraction which we planned to visit but have to change the plan due to rain. We went to Murray street hope to catch the last minute shopping opportunity but almost all the shops closed at 5pm sharp. We used to shop until 9pm or 10pm at Asia countries. I'm not able to reserve more time for Perth city due to short 5 days trip in Perth. Will plan in more afternoon slot for shopping during my next visit to Australia. Need to rest earlier and prepare for long journey down to Margaret river.
