The Market visit and Fish and
Chips
Caution:
I stop-short of using that word
but the next time if you got a chance to go market visiting and intend to
shop for some souvenirs for your whosoever, while you are in Perth or its
surrounding areas, go to E-Shed (which is at Fremantle) first before
heading down to Fremantle Market. (see pictures )
 |
 |
 |
|
On one side of the market,
vendors are selling stuff like souvenirs and handicrafts |
On the other side of the
market, we have something like our very own "wet-market" run mostly by
Asians. |
 |
 |
|
"Freo" (as what the local termed Fremantle as)
is a small town with numbers of historical buildings like this church
here - SCOTS Presbyterian church build in 1886 |
A picture of myself took
outside the market building. |
Sit and have a cuppa at
one of these sidewalk cafe is a way of life |
The latter may be much prominent on the
tourist brochures, still better bargain can be found in the former site,
which is located at the jetty that bring visitors to the famous Rottnest
Island. (see pictures)
|
E-shed |

|
This is the place where tourist take ride here to go to Rottnest
island |
Some of the cheapest items you can find here in E-Shed.. "Arghhh!!!" |
This is what E-Shed looks
like from outside. |
Fish and Chips
Fish and Chips" is a die-die, must try
delicacy while you are in "Freo"
"Cicerellos" was where we had our fish and chips lunch. |

City drive about and King's Park
Perth City
As the trip draw to a close soon, we hop down to the
city of Perth for more shopping (it's a Singapore pastime afterall.)
"Harbour Town" gives a feeling like what
Suntec City offered.
With number of shops housed inside the not-that-big complex, it's quite
strange we actually spent more than three hours inside this shopping
centre.
Was trying to go around the city, however
given the exorbitant parking charges - Forget it!!
King's Park
Not far from the city is the sanctuary from the hustle and buss from it -
King's Park
It is named "King's Park" to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII
way back in 1901 (as what is written on the introductory board.)
There are number of war memorials placed around the park to commemorate
those who sacrificed themselves during the wars.

Swan River |
One of the many war
memorials in King's Park. |

 |
 |
|
These two girls were
reviewing some of the shots they taken |
Sorry for this shot, the
focus was the statue in the middle of the lake but the sun was too
glaring. |
King's Park is where Perth
residents get to relax and stroll around. |
|
Aquarium
This is the final spot of the
whole trip - the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA)
It's something like what we have in the Sentosa -"The Underwater World" if
not better, as my feeling is that the Australians are really great in
utilised their surroundings and created something really amazing.

(Left) The entrance of the
Aquarium. Look kind of ordinary from it's appearance. |
 |
|
(Right) A picture of myself
again, took at the starting point of the covered walkway where
visitors can view the types of aquatic inhabitants featured in the
aquarium. |
 |
(L) It's feeding time, as the
fishes crowded round the feeder for lunch, a pretty high-risked job
as sharks are among those hungry folks. |
 |
|
(R) The jelly fishes look so
different here. |
 |
(L) This pool on the left, allows
visitors to feel and touch the fishes swim inside this pool. |
 |
|
(R) Not far from the aquarium, we
saw a large number of yachts anchored at the marinas |
|
|
Balik Lagi
(with snapshots at the Perth airport)
 Last
but not least
Took this picture outside the Fremantle Oval - home to the Fremantle
Football Club.
Hopefully, my next trip back to Australia, I'm able to catch a game or two
while in town.
