A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
I heard of this cafe called Hylin in West Leederville a couple of years ago but never made it until a few weeks ago. I’ve attempted to go a number of times when I was looking for somewhere to brunch, but it always seem to fall on a Sunday (which is the day Hylin is closed). As expected the place was packed when we arrived. We waited around 45 minutes before we finally got a tablet for three.
I associate driving holidays with freedom and adventure. I’ve done a few short road trips with friends (e.g. driving down south to small towns like Mandurah and Denmark). However, I’ve always wanted to do a longer road trip with friends. After some coordinating, my friend and I managed to align our leave for a trip to New Zealand. In April this year we flew across the country and across the Tasman Sea to land in Auckland, New Zealand, where our road trip began.
Australia is a nation big on sports. The Australian Football League (AFL) or “footy” is Australia’s iconic sport. The sport that Aussie kids grow up with. I’ve always wanted to watch a game to have a live game experience.
A few weeks ago, a couple of friends and I headed to City Beach on a sunny morning to hike Bold Park. Bold Park surround by what is known as the wealthy “western suburbs”. It’s a beautifully maintained park and one of the few bushlands remaining in the urban areas of Perth.
Every year the Good Food and Wine Show comes to Perth. This year was the first time I checked it out. I’ve always avoided it because the crowds are always insane. A friend of mine was keen to go again this year and I figured why not check it out for once. This year it was at the Perth Convention Centre. We purchased tickets for the Saturday session and headed in at 10am when the doors opened to beat the crowd.
