It was a lovely morning, a bit cloudy but breezing. Terry drove all the way from Morley to pick up Sunny and us( Nikki and me). Eight o'clock we depart from Perth and went down to Denmark through Albany High Way. It took about 4 hrs' driving to get there. We had our lunch in a small cafe in the down town of Denmark. Nikki had lasagna, Sunny had beef sandwich, Terry had something with cheese, i cant remember, and I had vege with turkish bread. Yum! We went to Tree Top Walk straight after checked in Gum Grove Chalets. The tree top walk is walking above the karri trees. So far i hvnt figur out what is Karri tree in Chinese. They are tall and straight and the trunks are a bit white. Leaves and braches are clustering. This is the first time that i v been up on the forest. When we finish, it was almost evening time, so we drove to a beach to see sunset . I was really surprised about how fast the sun went down the horizon. But we were not able to retain anything except press down shutter of our camera. Later, we v beening spent hurs to looking for a fishing spot. We tried quite a few, but we didnt catch anything. It was getting late, we went back to our little chalet and made hot-pot for dinner without a proper pot or either soup stock. haha...sounds a bit lousy but it was not bad...i enjoyed it. Later, we played Marjong in Cantonese style.

I was waked up by the sound of boiling water on the stove and i knew somebody has got up already. It must be Sunny, i guess. After getting myself washed, we drove to all the places that we went fishing last night and we found they are actually very good lookout with sunshine, beach, rocks and waves that we didnt realise last night due to the darkness. There was a Honey Winery near our chalet which has got very nice icecream. I bought my friends icecream as i think the happiest think is to share your favourite thing with others. Roses and almond flavoured was really nice. Afterwards we drove all the way to Dunbourough. On the way, we joined Jewel Cave tour to see all the stalactites under groud and we went to two wineries near Margeret River: Redgate and Leeuwin Estate. We tasted a little bit of wines and i bought a bottle of Semilon. I prefer white wine always as i like its dry taste and the very sweet-smelling plus it goes perfect with seafood. We went to Leeuwin Estate purporsly as we did one project about it in Year 1 for Accouting 100. It is a really beautiful winery with oak trees and grasses. Just on the way to wineries, we passed a forest tourist drive and there was a dead kangaroo lying on the raod. It's a young one must be hit by a car. Poor thing! Then we passed by a beach, there was people riding horses and  driving jeep on the beach. That's just so cool!!! When i got to YHA in Dunsbourough, it was dark already and i felt very exhausted. I quickly went to bed after dinner( pasta with mince beef and tomato sause).

 

26 April 9:00 Dunsbourough---Busselton---Bunbury---Perth

     > Busselton Jetty

     > Basalt Rock

     > Bunbury lighthouse

I didnt sleep well last night as i was not warm enough. We got up at about 7:00 plus and had cup noodle and toast for breakfast. Busselton Jetty, dont know why i always think it is from children's fairy tales, was not actally that attactive to me. May be it was because of the cloudy weather. It is about 2 km long, which is the longest Jetty in the world. We fishinged there for a while and got quite a few fishes. The time we arrived in Bunbury was evening already, the staff in Information centre said: not much u can do at this time. However, we went to a place called Basalt Rock, which is really cool. You can actually see the Bunbury lighthouse from the rocks. It is really beautiful. After that, we drove all the way back to perth. Had some icecream when we pass by Mandrah. We paid for 4 iceream but we got 5...hahaha...how come...becoz the staff realised the icecream was too soft to be put in a corn after she already did one...so she gave us another 4. After we get back to Perth, again the same question "what to eat?" Finally, we decided to have Japanese food in the city. Out side the resterant, we witnessed a traffic  accident. The car was driven on the to sidewalk and the front part was smashed. The driver must be drunk i think, maybe  due to  the long weekend...i dont know. Anyway...our three days' trip is end now. I would like to say thank you to Nikki, Sunny and Terry and i really appreciate that i could hv this chace to travel with ur guys and shared all these happy times!!!

清晨醒来...沉闷的心情...压抑...我机械的做着每天早晨必须要做的事情...像一个游魂...我承认我有些不知所措...一团乱麻...只能寄希望于眼泪...因为它永远清澈干净...哪怕是莫名的眼泪...莫名也许只是因为不想正视的原因...
