Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Swan River

A must to go place when you visit Perth - Rottnest Island! Visiting Rottnest Island was one of my favourite experiences during my trip to Perth. From the moment I arrived, I was amazed by the stunning scenery. The crystal-clear blue water, beautiful beaches, and peaceful surroundings made me feel completely relaxed. The highlight of my visit was definitely meeting the famous quokkas. They were even cuter than I expected! Seeing them hopping around freely and getting the chance to take photos with these adorable little creatures was such a special moment. It was impossible not to smile whenever I saw them. Rottnest Island is more than just a tourist attraction—it’s a place where you can slow down, appreciate nature, and create wonderful memories. I left with so many beautiful photos, but more importantly, with memories that I’ll always treasure. If I ever return to Perth, Rottnest Island will definitely be at the top of my list to visit again.

We met at the meeting point in the morning, boarded the bus, and departed. Upon arriving at the Crown Hotel, we transferred to another bus, and the entire itinerary proceeded on schedule. The bus driver also served as our guide, providing thorough explanations. Although the tour itinerary stated drop-off at Barrack Street Jetty, the driver checked with everyone to find out where was closest to their accommodation and dropped them off there.

Swan Valley is such a beautiful place to slow down, enjoy the vineyard views, taste some good wine, and simply enjoy the moment.

Bagaman maraming lugar ang napuntahan sa isang araw, naiintindihan ko na iba-iba ang gusto ng bawat isa, at maaaring hindi makapagtagal ayon sa sariling kagustuhan, ngunit sa pangkalahatan ay nasiyahan ako sa itineraryo. Napakakumportable ng hotel transfer, masarap ang tanghalian, at maganda ang lokasyon. Sa araw na iyon, naranasan namin ang isang malakas na bagyo sa Southwest Australia na nangyayari lamang tuwing limang taon. Naramdaman naming lumulutang ang sasakyan sa highway, ngunit sa kabutihang palad, napakasanay ng aming tour guide na si Cindy kaya natapos namin ang buong itineraryo nang maayos!

I took a cruise, chatted with people, drank some wine, and then went to a winery where I listened intently to explanations and drank a lot of wine. It would be great for wine lovers, and I really enjoyed having plenty of time.

Sinundo kami ni Tim sa Barrack Square Jetty Pier No. 4 – na malinaw na ipinaalam at halos nasa oras. Kumportable ang van. Nagbigay din siya ng de-boteng tubig. Nagustuhan ko ang katotohanan na nagtrabaho si Tim sa Caversham Wildlife Park kaya ang buong biyahe sa loob ay nasa oras at handang-handa (pahiwatig: isang bag ng food pellets para pakainin ang mga kangaroo at iba pang hayop). Nagtanghalian kami sa Mandoon Estate kung saan pinili namin ang vegetarian food. Mabilis, mainit, at masarap ang pagkaing inihain. Pagkatapos ay nagpatuloy kami sa aming paglalakbay patungo sa Margaret River Chocolate Company – binigyan kami ni Tim ng ilang tsokolate para sa libreng pagtikim, bumili kami ng ilan bilang mga souvenir. Kalaunan ay binisita namin ang Scarborough Beach na kamangha-mangha dahil napakaganda rin ng panahon. At tinapos namin ang aming biyahe sa Kings Park, naglakad-lakad, at kumuha ng ilang di malilimutang larawan. Sa pangkalahatan, ang ganitong uri ng group tour ay inaasahang medyo nagmamadali, ngunit natugunan ang aming mga layunin para sa araw na iyon.
