Perth - Day 5 - Chocolate, Koalas, and Fishes

We began our real self-drive holiday today.

We set off pretty early towards the direction of Guildford and Swan Valley. Guildford, first settled in 1829 is one of Australia's most important historic towns and lies 13 kms east of Perth. Guildford is the gateway to the Swan Valley Region. The Region offers wineries, accommodation, restaurants, cheese and chocolate factories, aboriginal arts and crafts, studios, historical churches and buildings, wildlife parks and sporting attractions.

Our first stop was at the famous Margaret River Chocolate Factory. It was an eye-opener at this Factory. Different types of chocolate appear right in front of us. Hmmm..... delicious!! Iden had his first taste of chocolate here.

After this, we continued our journey to the Caversham Wildlife Park located 19 km from Perth. This is where Iden got to see koalas, Tasmanian Devils, kangaroos and many more species. The only pity of this visit was that we were not allowed to carry a koala. Well, at least we got to stroke and touch them.

Along the way, we drove past many wineries. It was a spectacular sight.

After lunch, we headed to the Aquarium of Western Australia. Iden was so fascinated by the colourful fishes and underwater journey. If only he could be in the water and swim with them.

What a day of adventure!
