Day 6 & 7 - Day tours to Wave Rock & Pinnacles Desert

Day 6 - Day Tour to Wave Rock

1st day tour in Perth is to Wave Rock. a natural phenomenon which i tink is really amazing. and there r some history intro to the life of the Aboriginals living in Perth in the past. a day of history lesson.. heehee...

Jacaranda flowers still blooming beautifully along the street in Perth when the flowers in Brisbane r almost GONE!

tat's the Wave Rock. the wavey line r created naturally. amazing leh... it looked like huge wave splashing, hence pple named it Wave Rock...

Me @ Wave Rock... Wave Rock is located quite faraway from Perth City. abt 2 and a half hr drive away from city..

@ the top of the rock is a wall built for some water catchment area as seen in the next pic..

see tis water catchment area.. providing water for pple around the area..

tis is known as Hippo Yawn as it is the shape of a hippo yawning... tis is a cave where the Aboriginals mothers will give birth to their babies. is a very cramped up and small cave. i wonder how did the mothers manage in the past without proper equipments and sufficient area.

some handprints created by the Aboriginals. they will chewed some kind of fruits in their mouth. these kind of fruit will react with the saliva and once spitted out from the mouth, it can become some form of "spray paint" to create the handprint.

tis is not toilet!!! tis is the smallest bank in Australia! juz ceased operations in 1992... amazing leh...

on the way back, i saw tis fire red sky @ sunset... a plane juz flew across... lovely scene..

no photoshop effect... is a natural shot taken while travelling back to city on the coach..

Day 7 - Day Tour to Pinnacle Desert

the following 2 photos r taken along the way to the desert. i love them alot as the sky is very blue and clear. Aussie sky, something i will miss after i leave Aussie...
