Picnic and sight seeing

It was very exciting to have nenek and cousin here in Perth. We wanted to spend as much time as possible with both of them during their staying here. On 28th December we went for a picnic at Kings Park. Came along was Syarifuddin, a friend from Terengganu. I cooked nasi lemak and made sandwiches.




On 30th December, we went to Abingdon Miniature Village in Mandurah, south of Perth. The name "Abingdon" was chosen from the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire, located about 10 kilometres south of Oxford on the Thames River and is the oldest continually inhabited town in England. Abingdon Miniature Village was opened to the public for the first time on 1st March 2003. It displays many different styles and models of buildings and farmer's cottage throughout England. Following the theme of miniature, the picnic area, 12 hole mini golf course, maze and landscaped gardens -for those who loves flowers and rare plants- provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience. After that we went to the Halls Head beach and on the way back we prayed 'Asar at Masjid Ar-Rukun in Rockingham. We also stopped at Fremantle and Scarborough Beach near the Perth City.




On 31st December, we went to the Pinnacles Desert Discovery. Subhanallah, it is a unique and spectacular experience within Nambung National Park, near Cervantes, about 250 kilometres north of Perth. Rising mysteriously from the dune sands are thousands of limestone pillars, a landscape in eerie contrast to the surrounding heath. Nambung National Park is one of many protected areas in this world-renowned biodiversity hotspot, where an extraordinary range of wildlife and habitats lie within easy reach of each other. We also went to Margaret River Chocolate Company to taste the chocolate and ate ice creams. Unfortunately, we forgot to take picture here.....
