7am Departed for Walpole. Reached Walpole at 4pm. Its pretty amazing that a 1.3l 4wd is able to make the trip. Equipped with a max speed of 85, even monster container trucks are moving faster than I am. Oh well, watch them buzz by me...... Wheee. The crosswinds are really scary. The car got swept around like a rag doll. OMG. In the end I managed to reach my destination in one piece. Stayed at the YHA lodge in Walpole. Its a really nice place, quiet and peaceful. The perfect place to do some reflection. Started to write little notes to someone that I care about. =) 2100, Bedtime.

Went for a WOW wilderness cruise. Its like a must go for anyone who visits Walpole. They bring you around the coastal areas in Walkpole and describe to you the place, its history and things you wun ever read about in books. The guide explained the meaning names of the island and told us about the animals that are native to Walpole. After that I went on a 4WD trail at Long point. The trail starts at 15km west of Walpole. I was mentally prepared for something to screw up and something did screw up. When it did, at first I was like...hrm. I am stuck in the mud. What should I do? So I started doing all the things I read about in the 4WD handbook. After 1hr, I was like. KNNBCCB!! How come dun work? I have tried every trick in the book and the car was still stuck. TMD. I did not want to get stuck in the wilderness and since it1 was only 1400, I took the GPS, a bottle of water and ran to find help. Its not very far. Just 5km. Heng, I managed to find someone. In the end I found out that for the car to be in 4WD mode, apart from the switch in the car, there is a mechanical switch I have to toggle. TMD. Well, it was a lesson learnt. And since there was like an 1 1/2 hr before sunset, I decided to carry on my journey. After like 1 hr, I managed to reach long point. I was absolutely breathtaking and totally unspoilt. Well worth all the drama. I could get used to this shit. =)

Went to the Tingle Tree Walk and the Valley of the Giants Tree Top walk in the morning. The Tingle tree walk was like this big Eculuptus tree that can fit a car in its hollow trunk. The amazing thing about these trees is that even though its core is damaged due to fire and rotted away by fungi, it is still alive so as long the outter few layers are intact. Amazing eh. Ripped off at the Tree Top walk. $6 for a walk in the canopy of all the giant trees. The bloody scaffolding was like swaying from left to right and excarbated by my movement and weight. Heng I never fall down. Its like $6 for a 30 meter walk in the canopy. After that, I went to a toffee factory. The toffee there was damn good. I bought some.... Ho Ho Ho. Santa Claus is coming to town. $70 bucks. Damn ex. TMD. Then it was this Bartholomew meadery. Dun know how to spell. Its where they make honey. I think I ate so much honey that any one who licked me will find me as sweet as honey. They also made wine here. MUUUAhHHHAAa... Anyway I tasted alot of wine there. I bet the lady was like bitching that this chinese guy is drinking so much alcohol. Ha ha. Another $70 bucks on alcohol. Ho Ho Ho. Then I finally reached Albany. Dun quite like it. Too modern, too noisy, too much traffic, too much like Perth. Damn. I ran away from the hustle and bustle of Perth to end up at a mini Perth. And I almost fell down a cliff. I was like trying to find a good spot overseeing the sea so I can eat my take-away KFC. I thought I found a good spot until I realised that I was like 1 meter from the edge. I have not felt my heart beat so fast since the time I dreamt of Jessica. Heng nothing happened to me.
