Last night I went outside and had a look at the moon from the pergola. The moon was quiet big & I used my phone to take a photo. What came out was quite pleasing.. I like the rings around the moon

Araluen Botanical Garden:-

Entrance Adult $6.00
Children :- $2.00
Free below 6 years old

Araluen Botanic Park is Heaven in the Hills, an extraordinary garden located in the Darling Range.

Just 35km south-east of the Perth CBD. Open everyday of the year (except Christmas Day)


Here are some tulips flowers, I went there again because a friend came over. But it's towards the end of the seasons. Apart from the flowers/jungle walks/etc, there are also restaurants here.

Here are more flowers and I will not go into details, sorry about it.

It takes about 35 minutes to drive there and the scenery along the highway is not boring

[Naka]

Once you hit Brookton Highway, the road is windy and there are a few cafes and restaurants around

Araluen Botanical Garden is next to the Japanese designed Resort ...Araluen Golf and country club...quite exclusive and if you have time, it's a pleasure to have a round of golf there. I particularly like the last par 3 where you drive your ball from the hill down into the valley where the green sits.

Weekend green fees is about A$200/= that's include the buggy....at one time, these buggy were fitted with GPS, just in case you get lost in the area.
Weekdays is cheaper and tourists like to play here including VVIPs from Malaysia, Singapore.




It's the end of the season for Tulips and workers are digging out the plants. These plants are chopped into pieces and put back into the soil as composts. The special ones are kept in cool rooms for next year.

A lovely pair of wild ducks visited us while we were having our lunch...see the petals of Wisteria Flowers on the floor and table. The smell of the flowers is very
nice and with the temperature at 20C, it's heaven
