Perth Escapade !

School holiday is over ,,, what a wonderful escapade indeed in down under ,Perth , to be exact . It’s winter down there but no snow and the temp was in the teens and 20s, perfect for us to wander and visit many places without shivering in cold.


Our journey started from LCCT that Thursday nite the 9th of June a 5 1/2 hour-flite to Perth International Airport . Almost a full board with many Malaysians flying to the same destination . We reached Perth at dawn and oh boy , it was cold with the temperature was only 8 degree celcius . The custom and immigration at the airport were so strict with dogs sniffing our baggages and all food had to be declared . Since we only brought dry food our bags were okay . Darling then went to get our rented car from the parking lot and we got a kia- rio , good enough for the 4 of us ..


We stayed at Scarborough Beach Resort , a two-bedroom apartment , 100m from the beach, a very nice place to stay ,15km away from the busy street of Perth City . We spent 6 days at the apartment , a very serene place with overlooking the quiet negihbourhood and breathtaking seaview where many Aussies surfing thru the waves and of course many many other aussies jog and walk the dogs by the beach .


From my observation one is not a pure Aussie unless he owns a bike and a dog and he must also love nature …. For those reasons I ain’t gonna be an aussie….hhuurrmm ..
