Easter Long Weekend in Denmark, Western Australia, Part II

The Denmark Easter Markets were on during our trip to Denmark. That was the busiest I seen Denmark town! Cars were piling in from all directions. We spent a couple of hours at the market by the river before heading to lunch at The Lake House. The Lake House was a beautiful winery with a lake (hence the name). We spent the whole afternoon enjoying a bottle of riesling and some platters of cheese, meats and dips. It was one of the best afternoons of the whole road trip!

On our last full day in Denmark we decided to drive to Walpole’s Valley of the Giants tree top walk and the Tingle Forrest walk. The last time we were in Denmark we did the same thing. I always enjoy a walk through nature. We decided to head to Walpole straight after breakfast, and thankfully we did, when we exited the Valley of the Giants around 11am, there were packs of tourist arriving as we were leaving.

After our Valley of the Giants walk, we decided to continue our drive towards Walpole town. We did a short walk along the Bibbulmun track that was next to the town before driving back to Denmark to make our lunch at Rickety Gate Winery.

I hope you enjoyed this two-part photo series on my short roadtrip down to Denmark. Thanks for stopping by today.

Easter Long Weekend in Denmark, Western Australia, Part I

Greens Pool, Denmark

The Easter long weekend feels like a months and months ago, yet it was only a few weeks ago. For the first time, I actually did what many West Aussies typically do on a long weekend, head down south. My four-day trip down to Denmark, WA was the quintessential girls trip. We stayed at a homely bed and breakfast close to Denmark town. Picnic-ed, wined and dined. Beached. Hiked. Hung out.

Meet and Greet with Perth’s Fujifilm X Shooters

A few of us from Perth who connected on the Fujifilm X Australia Photographers Facebook community decided to have our first meet and greet. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon to be walking around Perth. As none of us had met before, we decided to meet at the most iconic sculpture at Elizabeth Quay. We spent a bit of time introducing ourselves, talking about how we got into photography and more specifically how we fell in love with the Fujifilm X series of cameras. It was a great to get to meet and get to know strangers who share a passion for photography as a hobby. A bit thank you to the very passionate and enthusiast Gustavo for organising a lovely afternoon meet up.

Walking along Darling Harbour waterfront

After we spending a bit of time at the markets, we continued on foot towards Darling Harbour. Darling Harbour is yet another well known must-see sight for any Sydney first timers. It’s located next to the city centre. The waterfront has lots of nearby attractions. We visited The Star Casino and walked along the harbour front until Kings Wharf. Given we were there close to midday, it wasn’t the best time to be taking photos. I did like a few of the photos I took of the yet-to-open Sydney Convention Centre in black and white. I have a tendency to enjoy taking architectural/building photos in black and white. There is just something about black and white that brings out the shapes and patterns of the buildings.

Exploring Sydney’s Chinatown and Fish Market

I’m really glad we decided to stay at an AirBnB in Surry Hills. It’s really the perfect location to explore Sydney. It’s walking distance to the all the popular sights of Sydney. It’s also the perfect location for foodies. There are countless of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Surry Hills as a inner city suburb is also quite pretty, with it’s colourful terrace houses and corner cafes. It can get pretty rowdy along Oxford Street and Crown Street at night, but I didn’t feel unsafe walking around during the day or night.
