Rinse and shine. Had our breakfast and set off to Great Southern Grammar, it is a privated school.

Frankly speaking, the school is better intends of facilities,variety of subjects, cca are available for the

students to take part in and use as compared to our school. However, their classroom are not so condesive as compared to singapore's even though their class size was small.

We joined them playing baseball in their gymmaism( sport hall).

Headed to the tree top, it was so scary... i am afraid of heights but i finished walking through the bridge.

it makes me feel insecure walking on the bridge.

Located in the heart of valley of the Giants

40 metres high through the canopy of the tingle forest

Mr Trevor brought us to a site for us to feeed and view birds that live in that habitat.

Checked in in the Broadwater Beach Resort.

At Yallingup,

Woke up and had our breakfast in the area. unable to had the school exchange programme due to the firebush happened the day before,,, Everyone was quite affected since we had been informed. Mr Trevor drove as to a beach as a replacement for the actual programme. It was beautiful and sunny! Took a lot of jump shot photo there and collected seashells from there.

Headed to the Ngilgi Cave.

The name came about ...

It is associated with a rich Aboriginal legend describing a battle between a good and evil spirit.The locall Wardandi people tell the story as: Ngilgi, a good warrior spirit, lived near the sea and Wolgine, an eveil spirit, lived in the cave. Concerned for the welfare of his people,Ngilgi gathered together the spirits of the waves, lightning, rain, thunder and wind and they created a huge storm. Ngilgi attacked Wolgine and he generally drove Wolgine back through the cave. So fierce was the battle that a tunnel collapsed , cutting the cave off the sea.

This collapsed tunnel can still be seen today as a deep gully a short distance from the cave. Eventually Wolgine was driven up through the earth creating the present entrance. Wolgine was banished from the cave and Ngilgi claimed it as his own thus the cave became known as Ngilgis Nurilem(cave)

At Rockingham,

First stop was Fremantle Market.

It established in 1897, the Fremantle Markets are much more than a must see destination.They are an icon: an enticing collection of all that makes Fremantle so fantastic . Brought some local mementors and handmade cupcakes as my supper.

Before lunch, visited Round house , it was quite meaningful and has a legend behind it.

Lunch was settled at SweetLips , fish and chips.

Follow up by Environment Centre,

learnt that some species had to be planted next to anothwer kind of plant to get rid of the flies that mind be attracted.

At Nambung National Park,

Pinnacles Dessert

The limestone formations of the Pinnacles vary in size and shape; some are as small as a mouse whilst many are as big as 3.5m high. These unusually shaped rocks have been likened to tombstones, termite moinds and even fingers. Although the dessert teems with wildlife , most animals are noctural. However, it is not uncommon to see western grey kangaroos, emus and many sorts of reptiles and birds like black-shouldered kites hanging around the strange stones.

At Guilderston:

Coastal Sand Dunes

having lots of fun here. This is the part i enjoyed the most during this experiential learning journey.

Follow up by,

Tree planting on the River banks!

the land was fully of sticks and i felt pain when walking on the ground... so planted my plant in the water instead of ground...

Never thought of the water will be that cold. Maybe start up at the sand too long and felt cold when my feet get in touch with the water surface.

Dinner at along the coast. sitting on the ground. shierving while eating.
