Halloween 2010, William Street, Perth, WA
Halloween is known as All Hallows' Eve which is the day before All Saints' Day. Many Australians celebrate Halloween, which occurs annually on October 31.
Face painting and fancy dressing seemed to be a must on that day. They were wandering around and welcomed people to take photos with them. It was amazing! Certainly, I took photos with them. Australians are Awesome! They are mostly outgoing and kind to everyone which is truly different from Malaysian.
Australian Day 2011, Mill Point, Perth, WA
Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. It falls on every 26th of January. I celebrated this day with my buddies. We cycled from Victoria Park to Mill Point, which took about 10 minutes to get there.
The Australia Day Air Show begun at 5pm. A wide range of aircraft participating and several helicopter crews towed huge Australian Flags. At 8pm, we enjoyed the fireworks that last 30 minutes. Again, it was really Awesome!
It was a great day for families and friends gathering. Youth activities were set up on that day. They arrived early in the morning with the purpose of reserving themselves a great place for viewing fireworks.
I could see many people were enjoying BBQs and picnics there. They wore in fancy with Australia’s flags and face painting.
Cycling with Buddies to Fremantle, Perth, WA.
Cycling is not only a good exercise but also an environmentally friendly form of transport. I used to cycle to Fremantle (A tourist attraction in Perth, WA) with friends for having the famous fish-n-chips and San Churro Chocolate which took us around four hours long for the round journey.
It was a tiring journey. I needed a bottle of energy drink during the journey.
In our journey back, we took a final break at Swan Bell Tower and captured some photos of the black swans that wondered around the river side.
Potluck Parties with Buddies, Perth, WA.
What is Potluck?
I learned this word only when I’ve been arriving Perth about 3 months. My housemate told me that A “Potluck” or “the Luck of the Pot” is a gathering where every participant will bring a dish of food for sharing. We organise Potluck party occasionally. It can be held either during semester breaks, drinking or birthday parties or for celebrating Easter or Christmas.
