Perth, Australia

It was a long weekend in Singapore, so, instead of spending in Singapore, I have decided to travel..Did a crazy short trip. 65 hours in Perth, Australia..so much to do, so little time..and 3 hours flight delay..make it even shorter in Perth.

Anyway, on 17 July, after multiples delays, we finally took off at 3.30pm (3hrs delay) and arrived in Perth at 9pm.. There was nothing much to do except dinner and sleep.. Totally exhausted after spending half a day at Changi airport!
    Apartment - Bailey's service apartment 

Day 2, after breakfast, head straight to Pinnacles. Had lunch at Cervantes.. Dining in front of Indian Ocean having fish & chips  before heading to Nambung National Park to explore the Pinnacles! I have never been to a desert before and it was really an eye opening for me!!

I even went to the discovery museum to understand the formation of Pinnacles and they still don't have answer for this limestones standing upright in the middle of desert..

Day 3 - Went to Mundy Regional Park after the breakfast. The air was really fresh and I'm really excited to see the waterfall! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't at my side and started to rain heavily!! Had no choice but to head off to the city.. Went up to Bell Tower, understand the beauty of bells.. Ended up watching movie to call off the day.

Day 4 - Final day in Perth. Drove to Fremantle to catch the last few glimpse. I was just enjoying the ocean view.. Looking over at the ocean, listening to the waves and clearing my mind..it was a nice touch to end the tour! Visited the Round tower and Maritime Museum to understand the history of Fremantle..

The whole trip was relaxing..it was great to return to Perth again.. It was just a shame that a lot of things didn't work out as plan and the trip was really too short. Just hoping for my next upcoming trip :)
