Perth, Western Australia (Day 3)

"We are late again today" I told hubby when we were moving our luggage to the car. The car park which were full yesterday night was nearly empty this early morning, 7.30am. Wondering the people staying in the same hotel has adapted to the culture here, 'start the day early and come back early too'. Not really our style. We tend to wake up late and sleep late.....agree?

After having sandwitches for breakfast at Subway, we took out our map and drove to Smith Beach, Yallingup. To our surprise the beach was so beautiful. I think the weather also help to contribute to beautify the scenery. Another sunny day with blue sky but windy. I still can feel it so cooling even with my jumper.

After spending nearly an hour there, we moved to another attraction, Eagle Bay. I'm not sure why it was called Eagle Bay as no eagle around, only a light house. I don't see any value added to visit a light house that cost me AU$15 per person. We just mingle at the entrance for some photo shooting before we move to Sugarloaf, a heart shape rocks.

Bushfire happened in Feb, luckily the light house is safe.


Can't really see the heart shape rock from this angle.

We enjoyed driving so much as the road was built along the sea side. You can easily have the sea view while driving, it's so different.


Since we got to travel back to Perth by late afternoon, we started our journey back a little earlier. Another approximately 330km to reach Perth, whoaaa..... !

We leaved message to Mr.Wong to pick us up from the car rental center as we need to return the car today. The office closed by 5pm so we were informed earlier to just dropped the car key inside a "drop key" box located outside the building. Do you think this unofficial way of returning car is safe?

After jumped into Mr.Wong's car, he drove us back to his house. Yes, we will be spending the remaining nights at his house.

We received a warm welcome from his family before dinner. We have not been eating rice for 3 days! So our stomach were truly satisfied with the dinner. Later on, we gathered for tea and fruits. Besides chit chatting, we also planned itinerary for the next day.
