Gold Coast - Day 3: 24th Apr


Included in our tour package was Paradise Country Farm and shopping trip at Harbour Town. We were picked up at abt 9am from our hotel to the Farm and was sent to location via a tram ride. This first farm animal we were introduced was the Koala bear and they are really so cute and cuddly in real life. My ah lou got to hug the Koala during the photo shoot and he told us that the Koala's paws are very sharp so it was quite painful for the person who hugs the koala.



We then went on to feed the kangaroos and the kids had a great time chasing for hungry kangaroos and feeding them with the food that the counter lady has kindly offered. Caden and Aidan had the chance to ride the Camel (AUD $10 per child) and they were so happy doing the ride. Ethan was crying away throughout the whole experience that his brother got as he was too young to be placed alone on the Camel doing the ride. The children also had a chance to see how the sheep dog chased the sheep and milk the cow at the farm.


This is Kangaroo's fav food!


Let's pat pat the cow first before we start milking!









For the parents (least Winnie and myself) we were so bored at this country farm and couldn't wait to be sent off to the Harbourtown. Ethan got himself a Chelsea adidas soccer ball at AUD $10 during the short shopping trip allocated to us (cos the bus pick up time was arranged 2 hours after the drop-off).

see the kind of nonsense our boy gave us even on the bus ride



Ethan quickly hop onto this ride when he saw it at Harbourtown shopping centre


At night, we tried some Thai food and chinese guo-tie for dinner. Generally, our dinner was all below AUD $40 per meal per family.
