Perth Day 7: Caversham Wildlife Park and Shopping

Bfast!
Then it was idling until 9am where we would collect the car for the next 1.5 days. With great companion, the kids were never bored.
After driving 5 days of campervan, the rented car must suddenly seemed very small to Daddy Lim.
The Caversham Wildlife Park was about 30 mins' drive away. 
The 1st animals to greet us were the kangeroos! There were so many of them this time and so many to feed.

Zaky provided a buffet line and attracted so many kangeroos.


My attempt on selfie.


Daddy Lim did a better job than me. His kangeroo didnt look too happy though. Haha.

Haha, the kangeroo ended up looking better than I did. We were glad to be early. The feeds were free and free flowing. By late morning, the kangeroos were all too full to eat another bite. 

The Quokkas again!
Not smiling leh. I think the ones on the poster looked cuter.
We saw cute little bunnies and guinea pigs but only kids below 5 were allowed into the enclosure.
 The kids could pat the sheep and goats though.

Somebody attempted to selfie again.


There was a long q to see and take pictures with koalas. Of course we joined the q. Koalas leh.





The koalas were followed by the wombats. This is Nata. She was so comfortable in the zookeeper's arm and was dozing off.


There was snake too.
You can see that it was a loooonnnggg snake.

We also caught the farm show. We saw the sheep dog at work and the sheep shredding. Poor sheep has no privacy.
After all the fun, we had a late bite and re-visited the kangeroos before leaving the park. Like I mentioned, the kangeroos were all full by them. Most of them were basking in the sun and taking a nap. This one sleeps until....

We headed to some honey place some 15 mins away. There was free flow of honey to sample and it wasnt expensive.

Before we headed back, we dropped by the Mondo Nougat place. While they advertise free samples, they werent not too generous. We had to face the not too friendly staff to ask for the different flavor nougat. I didnt buy any as I didnt like the taste.
Zaky wasnt able to sample the nougat as they contain almond, he spent his time posing for pictures.

We drove back to the apartment to park the car before taking the CAT bus to the CBD. We had guessed that parking wouldng be readily available or cheap. It was Friday and the week's only late night shopping. The shops were opened to 9pm. Yes, 9pm and it is already deemed as a big deal.
We had dinner and Zaky complained of a nasty tummyache. He bugged to go back to the apartment but not after he had bought a toy from Target. I wanted to cry bcos I wanted to shop. Fortunately, Daddy Lim was so nice to suggest to bring Zaky back 1st while I shopped with Lil Shauna. 

I heard that the tummyache mysteriously disappeared once they got the toy and were on the way back. Magic..... I so wanted to buy something but it was all winter wear. Any purchases would have been impulsive buy and I would have been better off if I slowly shopped in Singapore. Lil Shauna got a new pair of jeans though.
Coincidentally, my brother was intending to bring the 2 younger girls back and we tagged along. I actually wasnt too confident of the way back. Haha. 

We arrived back at about 8.30pm, to the apartment that we would be spending the last night.
The night was considered as young for the kids, who busied themselves over their loot before continuing with more murderer and heart attack.

The adults were dead tired. Haha.
