I have to say, having 2 or three days in Avon Valley - Toodyay, Northam, New Norcia, York, Beverley, Brookton was not enough cause these small towns have their own unique tourist points so it seemed that time was something we could not afford. I would dare to say, it should be like 4 days for that....
The Map of Avon Valley
Toodyay is like a Kampung tapi ada gak Free Mason Lodge... ada bran???
Part of Avon River, Northam
Curious biri-biri looking at us in Northam... at this point we just drove away, scared of being chased ahahhahaha
Never in my life visiting a wheat farm....tu dia, sangat kering dan kontang selepas musim menuai....Northam
Bukit Gondol... banduan lari conpem boleh nampak ehehehheheheh
Mengambil peluang....
After we left Toodyay, we went to Northam for some sight seeing then to York to (check in hotels) before continuing our journey to the rest of the areas....Aini and her bro checked in Faversham Boutique Hotel while I on the other hand, a sengkek traveler prefer something cheaper : Kookaburra Backpackers Lodge. It was AUD90 pernight for single room..not really a budget one but I had no choice since being ridiculed by the this bartender for a room above a busy bar (damn it was AUD195 one night, similar to what we had in Faversham... deng...)
I was so really annoyed when the lady bar tender said, "Well Madam, I dont think you can afford that!"
Cess....Rasa nak campak sekepuk aussie notes tanda macam la aku lekeh tak mampu bayar ahahhahahaha. I was carrying AUD1000 at that point of time, too bad huh.....so please make bookings prior to your visit... walk in guest during ANZAC and Easter Hols macam membunuh diri (dan juga wallet) kerana mostly lodgings are fully booked...
Aini and her bro after check in..time to ronda-ronda.......
All about Beverley..........
We stopped for some nature calls somewhere at Brooklyn........
So, it was quite of journey from York, exploring down south like Beverly, Brookton, Pingelly, Popanyining, Cubbaning and Narrogin, thanks to Great Southern Highway which I think we managed to do it till the evening... Seronok tengok gelagat local menghabiskan waktu cuti bersantai bersama keluarga, tak kira dalam caravan, BBQ, or kids playing, running kat pavement depan rumah rumah cute pelbagai design with picket white fences, as if you are in real life simulation of The Sims, heheheheh Kita pun tumpang seronok!
I think one of the best spot was Dyandra Woodlands which situated somewhere near Narrogin. Mati mati aku ingat hutan itu macam hutan hujan khatulistiwa penuh lantai bumi dengan pokok tapi it was trees with small trunk... I was feeling grateful with our own tropical forest dengan pokok-pokok besar beberapa pemeluk sampai tak cukup dipeluk. Da tentu tentu sumber untuk membekalkan kayu papan untuk segala jenis kegunaan manusia di muka bumi ini buat rumah, perabut dan sebagainya...syukur....so never take for granted when we have our trees...sayangi lah hutan anda ehheheheheheheh...
Dyandra Woodlands...main paintball conpem conpem game over cepat hehehehehhehe
Somewhere in Pingelly, seeing the old cart for display...kuda itu patung sahaja.
Great Southern Highway....
After like a whole day, sight seeing, we decided to go back to York for our hotel cause it was getting dark, malam tak nampak apa weih......
Dinner time at some local restaurant in York....kopak wallet main dish sahaja sorang AUD30.00 belasah steamed baramundi with poached egg, kebuluq......
So after dinner, we had some short time exploring the night time in York which had nothing spectacular to highlight here except for the noisy local pubs, obviously people were drinking and chilling out due to the holidays... I went back to my hostel, trying to sleep but my next room occupant, some Aussie families were making noises.. huhu, hardly slept due to the coffee...
It was a great day exploring the Avon Valley caused it was for us to head to Perth City the next day....
