Day 2:
Arise and shine!
Today we had an appointment with Yanchep
National Park. After enjoying our Aussie breakfast: cheese, milk, lamington and TimTam, we headed to our destination with much
anticipation.
A 45-minutes drive to the park, which led us to be the first
‘intruders’ to enter the Crystal Cave. The group tour turned out to be a private
tour as we were the only four. The tour
guide was very informative and funny, keeping the children pretty occupied. The 200,000 years old cave (which is considered
young for a cave) is nicely lit with LED for some of the prominent
features. There are neither bats nor any
creepy crawlies in there. Our eyes were
glued to the beautiful stalactites and stalagmites structures whilst listening
attentively to the history of the caves, and how the natural stream had dried
up nearly 20 years ago. The guide also
pointed out to us the tiny roots from the Tuart trees on the surface above us
which found its way into this hidden underground cave. We thoroughly enjoyed the 45-minute tour.
After the tour, we proceeded to the Boardwalk to view the koalas. As usual, most of them were asleep. Hubby wished he could enjoy such a nice life
as well, just ‘eat, sleep, eat, sleep’.
Remarkably, we saw a koala climbed down from one tree, walked across to
the other tree, and climbed up to that tree and rest. That’s a lot of action for a koala!!!
