TRAVEL | PERTH DAY 4 @ AUSTRALIA





It’s been 2 months since we had returned from Perth and now the post is coming into Day 4 of our Aussie escapade, finally. It certainly not an easy task to get all those memories penned down as all those pictures and writing does require time and effort to get them assembled. Hopefully I’ll be able to share them all completely soon before I could get back to resume my NZ trip which is still forever stagnant at Day 5, haha.


So, we started off our Day 4 with wonderful visit to Steve’s winery at Rockcliffe, where we got to visit the wine making factory with all the mega machineries involved in the production, before eventually you get to relax, sitting down at your cozy couch while enjoying a tipples or two. After that, we proceed for some hearty meals at Mrs Jones Café prior to driving down to Pemby town after a quick pitstop at Tree Top Walk. Read on……………



ROCKCLIFFE WINERY @ DENMARK WA

This affable amigo is one true-blue passionate wine connoisseur who owns the splendid Rockcliffe vineyard tranquilly located in the peaceful town of Denmark in West Australia.


  

Brief History on Rockcliffe Winery

The origin of Rockcliffe was an 18 acre expanse of apple orchards planted early in the 1900’s in the rich Scotsdale Valley region of Denmark in the Great Southern, Western Australia. In the late 1980’s, a local family acquired the property for its fertile soils and position for long afternoon sunshine with cool ocean breezes. It was christened Matilda’s Meadow and the planting of dry grown vines commenced. The Pinot and Chardonnay vines were the first planted in the district in 1987.






MRS JONES CAFE @ DENMARK


A quick glance of the place, it was welcomingly pleasant at first sight and I just wish we could stay a little longer. Interior setting was kept minimalist but lovely; with some corner to keep children safely occupied while the adults enjoying their meal.

No wonder this homey Mrs Jones Café was awarded the WA WINNER of Restaurant & Catering Industry Association’s 2016 Awards in 2 categories; CAFÉ OF THE YEAR and CAFÉ RESTAURANT for Excellence in Western Australia., bravo!



 


THE TREE TOP WALK, VALLEY OF THE GIANTS @ WALPOLE, DENMARK

A unique place to experience the excitement of walking 40 metres high through the canopy of the tingle forest while enjoying the majestic views of the wilderness core areas. The Tree Top Walk offers a 600-metre walk with a gentle gradient that are still suitable for both children and adults recreational stroll.





A light stroll would link Tree Top Walk to the Ancient Empire boardwalk via an interpretative trail meanders across the forest floor where you can get up close and personal with the 400-year-old forest giants amidst Walpole Wilderness that has history linked back to the lost area of Gondwana. How lush and gigantically they are!





PEMBERTON BACKPACKERS YHA HOSTEL@ PEMBERTON, WA
More stories here: http://bit.ly/PembertonYHA

So we reached our staycation for that evening at Pemberton Backpackers YHA Hostel which we had reserved earlier prior to our Aussie trip. Check in time was a tad delayed as the person in charge was away upon our arrival, so we had no choice but to wait awhile before finally get to see our cozy and spacious cottage in the quiet town!

So we got ourselves a private twin room, which eventually wonderfully happened to be a whole cottage with several rooms! Of course we were happy to share the lovely nook with other backpackers too, but we were happier when our private room for 2 was more like a room for a family of 5! Haha…




 


THE CROSSINGS BAKERY@ PEMBERTON, WA

Before we really left Pemby for Augusta, we dropped by The Crossings Bakery to make it up back to my last night “endurance” from the upset tummy- at least I did try some local delights right?
  
So we tried some of the inhouse special meaty pie that was simply gorgeous, besides sweeter bites such as the berry long donut and lemon custard, if not mistaken, all amounted to AUD 20.20. Besides getting those pastries, we also ordered 2 cups of joe to go along- latte and WP’s pick-me-up Long Black! :D






               
And so, we took home some unforgettable memories of the people that we met in different places around West Australia.
