It was the last day on the trip and we had our breakfast and headed for the Naragebup Environment Centre. In the environment centre, the toilets do not need to flush after you had visited the toilet. You just have to cover

the lid of the toilet. That is because when you cover the lid it produces oxygen that can stop the stink and allows the water to be reused. That way is environment friendly and you are able to save water. There they plant organic vegetables, brew chickens, grow earthworms, and keep marine life that going to extinct and also keep reptiles such as blue tongue lizard and snakes. In the organic farm, they have a small area where they give space to the public to plant their own plants. When we saw the worm farming, the guides allow all of us to touch the worms. The worms are cold and slimy. The guide said that the earthworms eat anything accept citrus fruit peel. The feces of the earthworms become fertilizer to grow plant. The fertilizers are good for the plant because it does not have any harmful chemicals. After the worms,

it was the part where we learn about turtles and reptiles. Then it was time to have our lunch before we went back to Singapore. We had each two pieces of delicious pizza. The sumptuous lunch was over and it was time to head back for the airport.Checking in the luggage, getting our

boarding pass waiting for others to come before boarding the plane took at least ten minutes before boarding the plane. In the plane I watch the TV, listen to songs to keep me awaked as I could not wait to go back to Singapore

to meet my parents. That was my most enjoyable trip ever.

What a good sleep the previous night. Breakfast again we had bacon for the first time there. We followed on to the John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School. The school hall there is a multi-purpose hall it can be used as a performing hall, basketball court, badminton court, soccer field and a hockey field. There we learnt how to dance and played doge ball. Then had lunch at the kings park. We had kebab. Kebab is a kind of Arabic food found in Arab. There is a state war memorial and we could see the sky scrapers clearly there. We followed by the Aboriginal Art Gallery. There were lots of artworks there. The artwork there can cost up to a few thousand. I bought a bag for my mother for 25AD and that’s quite expensive. Then it was time to have our own free time at the malls near our hotel. We had dinner and headed

for the hotel and had our bath before packing for tomorrow. Then suddenly, the fire alarm went off. My roommates and I quickly took our wallet and phone and left the room. The hotel manager quickly came up to see what happened. After checking all the room on the level we staying in, he found out that someone had smoke in the hotel room. That was a scary experience that I would not want to hear a fire alarm again. Then it was time to sleep.

At last, we are out of the farm. We had our breakfast and waited for the bus to arrive. We headed to Anzac Terrace Primary School (Bassendan). The school hall was not as big as the one in our school. They do not have stage to perform. In each of the classroom, they have a kind of touch screen board where it is called smart board in Singapore.

The next destination was the Caversham Wildlife Park. We only manage to only see some animals but it was fun because it was the first time I ever see the koalas, kangaroo and wombat real life. There is also a kind of animal called the Tasmanian devil and the Dingo. The Tasmanian devil is called devil because whenever they see food, they will make an ear piercing sound. Tasmanian devil’s bite can be three times stronger than dogs.

Then it was time to the nougat factory where we can see ow the nougats are made. Unfortunately, the factory’s machine was spoiled so we were not able to see how nougat is made. Besides selling nougat they also sell nuts. From macadamia nuts to hazelnuts and many more. I could not get the picture of the nougat factory because my camera is out of battery.Then it was time for dinner we had my favorite fried egg and curry.

After dinner was rest time. When in the hotel, there was no electricity in the hotel. But at the end we call for help and there is electricity again.

Perth Travel Blog Day 2

The following day, woke up at around 7:00a.m and prepare the attire for later on. At 8:00a.m we went down to the canteen and had our breakfast. After breakfast were the activities of that day. Firstly, we had some activities. There were three fun activities. My favorite activity was the one where we need to blow up balloons and make it stand on its own with the help of some tape. But, it wasn’t so easy. You still need to make sure it is one balloon higher than the chair.

Next was the treasure hunt but it wasn’t really a treasure hunt. All we need to do is to find the object that is given in the pictures. It sounds easy but it isn’t because the farm is very big.

Then it was the sheep shearing demo that I was looking forward to. The Sheppard has a dog that will chase after the sheep in order for the Sheppard to sheer the sheep. The wool of the sheep is very soft and a little oily.

We went on to the wine bottling where we will see how they make the wine. I was not really interested in it as I could not try to taste how the taste of the wine is.

Then the part I hate the most was when I fed the horse and ponies . When the horse or ponies eats the carrot on your hand, they will tend to lick your hand. Unluckily, my hand was licked by the horse. By the time we fed finish the horse and ponies, it was almost dinner time. We were asked group by group to go to the restroom to wash our hands.

Finally it was the last activity before we slept was the campfire. While we were sitting around the campfire, I almost had my face melt into wax as I was sitting very close to the fire. But we don’t just sit there of course. We saw the moon rise where we don’t see it in Singapore. Then, we sang some campfire songs and ate some marshmallows.

Perth Travel Blog Day 1

30 students including me were chosen to take part in the 5-day Immersion Program to Perth from 29 May to 02 June 2010. We flied off to Perth from Singapore Changi International Airport on 28th May 2010 mid night.

The next day, we reached Perth International Airport early morning at 6:25. After having our toilet break, we boarded the coach and started our first day city tour. The first destination that we were heading to was Fremantle, the port city of Perth. We had visited several attractions of the Fremantle city such as the Monumental Hill, Fishing Boat Harbour, weekend market, chocolate factory and Apricot Acres Fruit Orchard.The Monument Hill monument was being built to commemorate the 60,000 Australians killed during World War 1.

The Fishing Boat Harbour is a place where you can find many fishing boats and enjoy the local fresh fish and seafood dishes. We had our lunch here, we had the delicious Fish & Chips at one of the restaurant called ‘Sweetlips’.

The weekend market is a place where we can find an unusual range of items, from fresh fruit and produce, to jewellery and hand crafted local items. I had bought the unique recycle book stand and key chains for my father and younger brother. When on the way to the weekend market, we had passed by the Cappuccino Strip where you can find many new look café along the street.

Chocolate is my favorite, so when visiting to chocolate factory, I was very happy! I had learnt the process of making chocolate. At the chocolate factory, we could taste their chocolate for free! And, the best of all was, we could take as much as we want!At the Apricot Acres Fruit Orchard, we could find orange and apricot trees which I never seen before.

After visiting the Apricot Acres Fruit Orchard, we proceeded to Orchard Glory Farm to check-in and rest. In each room, there are two beds and each bed has an electric blanket. The electric blanket provides warmth for us during the night when we are sleeping.
