Dear YY n NN n DD

Today's itinenary
- Caversham Wildlife Park and Swan Valley

Caversham Wildlife Park
Highly recommended by alot of pple who came back from Perth.
Lots of animals here.
We went into the sheeps and goats enclosures before the Molly Farm Show started.
Lots of "grapes" aka droppings on the ground.
Had a bit of action here when 2 of the "smarter" goats decided to force their way out of the fenced enclosure. They were stuck between the 2 gates. Papa had to slowly guided them back. 3 of you were so excited throughout the whole process.

Molly Farm Show
1st was the Sheep Shearing Demo. Actually we found the one we saw in Yallingup much more impressive. The Shearer there seemed more experienced and surer too. Haha
Next, Horse whipping Demo. Papa gamely volunteered to try out this. ")
Then, "bottle feed the lambs" competition. YY, you volunteered too.
Lastly, cow milking. YY n NN, both of you had a go here.

You 3 had lots of fun hand feeding those free roaming kangaroos. It was really an up close and personal experience for you.

After a quick lunch in Whiteman Park's cafe, we proceeded to other attractions within Swan Valley.

We went on a chocolate and wine tasting trip at Margaret River Chocolate Factory, Sandalford Winery, Lancaster Winery and Cape Lavender. Really huge compounds with lots of greenery for you to run around, especially Sandalford Winery.

Sorrento Quay aka Hilary's Boat Harbour
We dropped by this beautiful place as the sun was setting. Gorgeous houses lined the road all the way to here. The harbour itself was beautiful too with lots of boats anchored here. It was fish and chips for dinner again. :)

Had a shock during the cow milking session. One Singaporean boy, ard YY's age, kicked the poor cow. Startled it and caused abit of uproar. And the parents actually laughed it off. This attitude is really not to be tolerated. What a shame.
