Brownies' Trip to Western Australia Day 1

The Brownies' Trip to Western Australia was to enhance the Brownies' experience in the area of Guiding beyond the local context, provide opportunities for the Brownies to engage in cultural exchange as well as to forge friendships with their sister Guides in Western Australia. This is in line with one of the Challenges of the Brownies' Five-Point Programme - International.

At the Airport - So Excited!
Kings Park was our 1st stop. We saw unique plants like the boabs.

Speak from one end of the wall and your friend will be able to hear you from the other end.
Next, we went to Lake Monger where we saw ducks and black swans. There was also a playground nearby where we had a lot of fun.

Before lunch, we stopped by Cottlesloe Beach along the coastline of the Indian Ocean. We enjoyed running on the soft fine sand with our bare feet. Lunch was at Cicerello's which was established in 1903 in Fremantle. The aquarium there house many local marine animals and holds more than 20000 litres of water.

Next, we walked around Fremantle and visited a lolly shop and learnt how the lollies were made. We were very lucky to be given free lollipops after the demonstration. =D

We stopped at E-shed Market for some shopping before checking into the hotel for a short rest. Our day ended with a scrumptious dinner at a Japanese Restaurant.
