Today's itinenary
- Travel from Busselton to Pemberton
It was time to depart from Busselton, after a short 2 nites stay.
We would be travelling towards Pemberton today.
Sheep Cheese Farm
Papa and San Shu were actually on the lookout for wine vineyard when they spotted this sign along the road.
Out of curiosity, we decided to drive into the premises. We entered the tiny shop that was surrounded by a huge grassland full of roaming sheep. Papa and Mummy accepted the small offerings of the few types of sheep cheese by the owner. It was a mistake. The cheese didn't quite agree with our stomachs. Haha. So we didn't buy any at all. Papa's first thought then was our poor xdd is currently on goat's milk now." Poor little fellow.
In the end we were more interested in the roaming sheep and numerous fruit trees outside.
NN, you were busy collecting the twigs from the ground. Such simple nature that gave you so much fun. :P
Cheese and Wine
The Trees Change
During our car ride, the trees started to grow taller and taller. The Trees in Pemberton Region were really very very tall. Some of them were as tall as 60mH (equivalent to 20 sty bldg in Singapore)
Pemberton Town
We arrived at Pemberton Town around noon. While Papa walked towards the Visitor Centre, you 3 ran in the opposite direction. Towards the playground that you had spotted immediately when our car stopped.
YY, you actually asked Mummy then "why are there sand in Oz's playground?".
Hmm.... Mummy suddenly realised that we seldom see sand in Singapore's playground anymore..
We had a quick lunch at one of the eatery in town while waiting for the next Pemberton Tram into the Karri Forest.
You 3 were pretty excited at first even as the station master's commentory was running.
It was your first time in a Tram and we were really going into the Forest.
There were 2 stops, one at the Cascades and one at Warren River. It was really an adventure on the jungle trail (5-10 mins only!) Haha.
On the way back, YY and NN, you 2 took up the invitation to horn the Tram once.
We checked in to Warren River Cottage for the nite after that. It was really a beautiful place. Imagine earthen cottage in the midst of tall trees (yes, we were really sleeping in the forest to-nite). There was a traditional chimney with firelogs in a timber chest next to it too. The logs were sufficient to last us the night. We were also given a pack of bird feed. You 3 searched for the feed stand and found it in front of our cottage. You placed some food in it. At first we were still wondering what kind of birds would show up. Very quickly, 2 very colourful birds came flying past us, and stopped at the stand. They were real beauties.
There was an outdoor gas BBQ pit. So we decided to make use of it. We were having BBQ tonight.
Tonite was really freezing cold. But it was very very fun BBQ-ing in the cold weather. It was totally darkness outside and we could see the stars and moon so clearly here.

Hugs & Kisses
Mummy
A tiny accident that mired the Pemberton Cottage experience though.
NN, you together with your 2 bros have been told not to go near the chimney as it was very hot. You forgot and scalded your little finger. There was a big blister, and you really cried very hard. It must have been very very painful. My poor little girl.
