King’s Park
After a full breakfast DimSum, I brought my wife back to King’s Park for a walk to digest off the additional stuff we stuffed into our tummy.
We walked towards Federation Walk, to the South West of King’s Park, to have a look at the Glass bridge and walk way.
Saw this wierd looking fruit…. Australia is filled with wierd looking plants, I must say.
And we saw this couple taking their wedding photos, and I had my fun as well…
And here is the glass bridge:
We then saw a couple of vintage cars and they were really cool. We found out later that is actually a day to celebrate and show case old cars from England.
However, not all cars are English made.
All the cars are labelled “Veteran”, except for one, which is “Historic”. I suppose its much old than the others.
This is the one labelled “Historic”
And then we saw one stretch limo. I see this limo very often around King’s Park, so I believe it belongs to one of the restaurants on the hill top.

Arrive in Perth
So after many months of planning, my wife and I finally arrived in Perth, Western Australia.
Its not my first time, here, but its the first for my wife, and I guess she is absolutely excited over it.
We arrived at Perth at 0630hrs via SQ225, and went over to collect our pre-booked Toyota Aurion from Hertz.
3.5L, V6, 268bhp, its the most muscular car I have driven for a long long time.
Anyway, took the car, and went straight to King’s Park.
King’s Park
The temperature was about 9*C then, but it was all cool and sunny, with great blue sky!
Morley
Brought her over to Morley’s Centro Gallaria (about 30mins North of Perth CBD), and we bought olive oil, soy sauce, biscuits, loads of fresh food and 3×5L bottle water from Morley Market. All for about A$35.
Before walking out, we saw this shop selling groceries that look like they are from Singapore/Malaysia, and we found our sesame oil! Great, we are all prepared to cook along the way now.
So we left the things in the car, and went across the car park to Centro Galleria, to let her have a feel of prices of things in Perth.
Brought her to level 2 and stuffed her with Kebab and Coffee from McD, Price of Kebab has gone up considerably, the last I remembered, it cost about $6… now its almost $9, but thats like 10 years back.
Wanted to bring her to 白莲教 (a Chinese restaurant called White Lotus) to buy roast duck, but it seems like the building is closed, and the car park locked.
Fast Eddy’s is also no longer in the building itself, but has its own building along Galleria’s parameters.
Gosh, it brings back memories.
Back to Perth CBD
Left Morley at about 1330hrs and went back into the CBD to check ourselves into the Hotel – Comfort Inn Perth City.
Its a big room, considering its location and price of A$109. Kettle, hair dryer, heated water, coffee and tea are provided. GREAT! We can now have hot water long the way!
Oh, they have their own car park too, which is great convenience as parking is hell in Perth CBD.
Anyway, slept for about an hour, and we went on our way to Fremantle for Dinner @ Kaili’s.
