Sandboarding @ Lancelin, Perth's Kings Park

Waking up in the cozy little cabin, had breakfast of soup and bread, we are ready for today’s sand boarding game! Before that, we visited the nearby Lake Thetis. It was a very beautiful lake, with living stromatolites (oldest known form of life on earth). Look at the beautiful reflection of the sky~ There’s  a walking trail around the lake, there’s no entrance fee to this lake.

One hour drive from Cervantes, we reach the small fishing town of Lancelin. It is also the famous spot for SAND BOARDING*****. As we get into the town, we got our sand board at a shop located in a residential area. There are also some other shops renting sand boards like Gull service station but they were all leased out. So better be early if it’s a public holiday or else what a disappointment! Mostly the rental price is $20 for 2 hours and $50 deposit. There’s no sign board around town to the sand dunes, so will have to ask the locals there for directions. It’s just few minutes from town. There’s a parking area for cars, if you have 4WD then can just drive into sand dune and pick the spot you like.

WOW our first time trying sand boarding, it was damn fun! Exciting and scary, just like riding a roller coaster. HAHA. The climbing up is the one that exhaust us for sure. We rented 2 boards for the 6 of us which is good enough, since we need some time to recharge! But maybe next time we’ll take 4 boards instead =) yea, next time. . .

After a loooonnng training session, we only dare to stand up surfing on the dunes. Before that we were sitting or laying on the board . . LOL . . . Of course it’s easier than surfing in the sea, but still it’s scary from so high up!

Freshened up at the town’s public toilet, we got our lunch at Gull and proceed to PERTH. It was about one and half hour drive, went straight to the famous Apple Strudel, Corica. =.= it closes every Sunday. P&A shall come back one day!

Then to famous King’s Park*****. It is a huge park with good picnic spots and great view of Perth city. We spent a lot of time looking at the wildflowers of Australia and taking pictures after pictures =P

Night view of Perth city

When our stomach started growling, we went to city to search for some good food. Didn’t do much research on Perth’s food, we ended up turning round and round the city to look for food! Cause it’s a Sunday, most restaurants aren’t open or they close early. Even the famous Greenhouse Restaurant. =.= In the end, we found a restaurant in the Melbourne Hotel. Haha, turn up they cook really yummy food! We had scotch fillet, spicy fettuccine, pizza and chicken chop. It was all really yummy~~ The last meal of our seven days trip, aaahh… Good ending =)
