A visit to Araluen botanic park today. It was disappointing cause its main attractions, the tulips are mostly dying off. Guess I went too late and, its the last time I can be going since the place is closing down after this year cause the government is not supporting them. What a waste and a pity for such a nice place to be closing down....
Took some pics, only a few miserable tulips though. The massive ones, I missed it, missed the season.....Well, I cant help it. Weather isnt good past weeks..
Here are some of the pictures...

2. The legendary tulips...too bad I'm late.. It should be really nice to have it on both sides, and in such many of them..

In conclusion, drove for 140+km today, for a non-tulip today to Araluen..Well, at least I've been there before it become a wasteland sometime quite soon...
Fruitful Sunday..

Perth Royal Show
3 of us: Calvin, Delia and Bank went to Perth Royal show yesterday afternoon. Its the 2nd last day. Something like Kuching Festival, but its scale is much much bigger. Entrance alone costs me AUD$24. Food and rides, not to mention it. But, lotsa stuffs inside the show. Booths are of every kind.
Showbags is something not to missed according to those who went. Almost everyone who went there carries a showbag. Its a combination of stuffs such as chocolates, magazines and many more..Depends on what stall you visit. Doesnt interest me though..So I didnt get any.
The waited moment by everyone who visited the show is the fireworks display at 9.00p.m. Its spectecular..! I didnt brought my tripod with me to Perth, so pictures are shot with freehand. Some are kinda blurry... AND....HIGH NOISE!!..No tripod, so will have to use higher ISO to balance out slow shutter speed...haiz...else the shots will looks nicer ..
As for the rest, pictures speaks the best..
