Perth, Western Australia (Day 6)

Before we leave Perth the next day, we planned to buy some souvenirs today. Ops....I'm yet to see any koala bear and kangaroo (beside those dead body and some wild kangaroo while driving down south). So, we decided to visit Perth Zoo. Ha ha......

Firstly, Mr.Wong drove us to a hardware shop.....no, it's big and should be a warehouse. This is the biggest hardware warehouse we have been. You can find everything and anything you need or you don't. The warehouse is even bigger than Tesco. After getting what he wanted, we moved to Swan Valley for lunch and buy some honey from a bee's farm.

After that, Mr.Wong sent us to Perth Zoo. Yeah.... don't you think it's weird to go zoo at our age without bringing our children? He he.... what to do? We paid AU$19 (RM50) per pax for entry fee. Huh.... expensive hor? Never mind, we willing to pay for you, koala bear. Mr.Wong's children said we were lucky to see an awake koala. This is because koala usually sleeps 16 hours in a day.



Hungry tiger.... keep on knocking the window glass when walk close to people.

Find this cute tree, name "sausage tree".


Due to we missed out an important tourist attraction yesterday, we planned to go there after this. So we explored the zoo in an express way. Roughly in 2 hours time we finished our task and took a bus to the city center again. We were trying our best to reach there before they close for the day. Luckily, we arrived just 15 mins before they close, it's Perth's Mint. This is the place where you can watch gold pour but unfortunately we missed the 'train'. There are schedule for tour in The Perth's Mint. At first I thought the tour is free but answer is no. If not mistaken, they are charging AU$22 per person for 30 to 45 mins tour. Don't you think it's expensive?

This was the last stop for today. Really tired!
