My Little Travel Study Pocket: 2012

Located 19km away from Perth City.
A beautiful coastal port city with heritage architecture, famous weekend market, the great fish 'n' chips.

View from the train

on our way to Fremantle

Lovely heritage architecture.

I love how it feels

Ferris wheel ♥

Playground at Esplanade

Fremantle Market

Since 1897

It opens only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

So its a great place for weekend getaway

P/S: There is alot of stuff selling inside the market

Fresh fruits and vegetables, yummy food

accessories and Aussie souvenirs

Street performance

Next on, the 'must eat' Fish and Chips in Fremantle
The famous one are Cicerello's and Kailis.
Along the road, there are more than 2 restaurants selling fish 'n' chips and seafood.

Signature Fish 'n' Chips

Squid & Chips

The squid is awesome!

Chili Mussels.

Another 'must eat' item

You can choose to eat outdoor or indoor

Both are packed with people

We chose indoor because of the seagull (see picture below)

They will steal your food

They love Fish 'n' Chips too.

Perfect scenary

There are a few tourists attraction

like...

Maritime Museum

Due to time constraint.

We didn't pay a visit in there. Just hanging outside + taking photos

Fremantle Prison

Its me again *grin*

We paid $16 (student concession) for the 'Great Escape' tour inside the prison

Looking at what is inside.

Get to know what prison's life in there.

I had my second trip to Fremantle when my parents are here in August.
Getting familiar with the place.
Able to reach the place without referring to map.
Hehehe!

Missed E-Shed Market on my first trip

It was another famous spot.

Eventually nothing much in there.

Just a few stall selling souvenirs and food

Its like a old market that going to 'close shop' soon =/

Since I'd been to Cicerello's

So I decided to try out Kailis with my parents this time

we dine outside this time.

Because the Chin's family prefer outdoor with sunshine and seaview.

As my lovely banker is here

They gave me $50 budget to order. =D

Grilled Fish 'n' chips

Fried Fish 'n' Chips with Calamari ring.

Chili Mussels again.

Papa and Mommy ♥

Lastly, as promised by Papa
We went for coffee break at Cappucino Strip (another attraction of Fremantle)
The street with cafes and restaurants.

My Favourite Caffe Latte @ Gino's

I guess that's what I've done in Fremantle

I seriously love this place.

Will come again for more nice food and coffee when I save enough money to spend. =D

Caversham Wildlife Park

Little info:

Located in Whiteman Park. The park now features about 200 species, and more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles; most housed in a walk-through environment. The park is the premiere development of its kind in Western Australia, attracting visitors from all over the world. Such is the park’s status, that some of its breeding programs are officially recognised by Australian Zoos. David regularly exchanges animals and birds with other parks and zoos, for breeding purposes and to add to the Caversham population. The park has bred its own wombats, koalas, grass owls and cassowaries, which is a significant achievement for a privately owned park.

Visitors to the park are assisted by wildlife professionals, dedicated to exceptional service ensuring our visitors receive the best opportunities for animal interaction, information and photographs.

It was privately owned and operated by WA family. The park do not receive any assistance from the Government.

Pink Parrot So beautifullll

And now, proudly present the Koala.
Everyone love them.

Interesting Fact about Koala:

Koalas aren't bears as many people are led to believe. They aren't even related to bears. The koala is related to the kangaroo and the wombat. The koala is a marsupial mammal. The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear.
The koala's scientific name is Phasclarctos Cinereus.

Sorry Koala, I shouldn't called you Koala Bear~

Love this most!!! Super super cuteeee!!!!

Koala only stay awake for 4 hours a day.

They spend most of the time sleeping because it requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy

We are lucky to see them awake.

and have a chance to touch it.

Sadly we are not allowed to cuddle koala

Next, the Kangaroosss

They have a Kangaroo ground where we can touch them, feed them
