3rd Day in Gold Coast

Sorry for let you wait so long for the 3rd day of my trip. 3rd day is the most fruitful day of my trip. I'll let the pictures say the word.

Morning we away from the hustle and bustle of gold coast city and went to a farm called Paradise Country. This farm is commercialize, all activities and shows, even lunch set is included in the package.

Me and wife at the entrance

Very weird and beautiful flower.

The first animal we see in the farm - pig.

Then the most famous - koala bear! Can hug them and take picture for a fee of AUS 15.

There are lot of baby koala bear waiting for you to take picture with. They really don't like to move.

Then is the time for kangaroo. Get close and personal with them.

Feed the baby kangaroo.

This is the most active koala bear in the farm. Keep running around his house.

This emu bird only can found in Australia. And I forgot to get their real picture. Emo...

After seeing the animals, it's time for some shows. 1st show is basically demonstration of how to make traditional tea of Australia.

This handsome and funny guy is the presenter.

Having tea and cake. Group of China people we encounter there.

Have a very short brief about horse riding. But no chance to have a try here.

What is this called? A sheep?

Whip cracking show and boomerang show. I only take video of it. Very amazing. I bought a boomerang too, but haven't try yet.

Clever dog help to get all sheep into fold.

Three brothers.

Lunch time! Western style again...

After the farm, it's time to get serious. We need to use all our money to shopping finally! We went to a place called Harbour Town. I thought it was a seaside place to witness fisherman life, but it was totally wrong! It was a wholesale centre I suppose. Lot of fashion shop and restaurant there, and a big cinema also. Found very cheap shirt sold there, only AUS 10 for 3 pieces. Haha, finally found things that is cheaper in Malaysia!!

Almost 100+ retails shop in Harbour Town.

Finally we have some time to walk along the seaside. That day is in good weather. We can see lot people swimming and surfing.

There are limitation where to swim.

Nice sand castle... Duno who did this.

Like this picture very much. Have bit fish eye effect.

Last picture to take before battery worn-out.
