We promised each other to have two overseas holiday per year as soon as we joined the rat race. And finally, our second holiday for the year is happening!
We will be traveling along the South West region and our route is Perth City – Mandurah – Bunbury – Busselton – Margaret River – Augusta. We will also be heading up north to Pinnacles Desert. Our blogging hiatus may last for a week so in the mean time, do follow our twitter account at kgboycitygal for more updates!

Hello, I was actually researching food options in KL and came across your blog. I would love to pick your brain about ‘the best’ of in KL but am having problems working out how far everything is in distances in KL. I am at The Larder ( a fine food store ) in Margaret River and would be happy to share some local food knowledge should you need it. We are situated across from the visitors centre in the main street. Pop in and say hi!
thanks Andrea

Hi citygal, I like to ask, would you be heading to Fremantle?
If yes, would you be visiting the Fremantle Prison?
There is a souvenir that I wish you can help me to buy.
I’ll pay you back be it in AUD or RM.
Thank you.

perth is a nice place. did u manage to try the sand dunes at Pinnacle? i missed it coz i went at the wrong timing -during easter break. a lotsa shops closed, public transportation regularity has been reduced and most of the rental cars were damaged due to the snow storm that hit perth a week before i arrived..sigh..:P

Hi kampungboy/Citygal,
Thank you very much for your reply.
One more thing, I know the petrol price is high there or
rather the exchange rate is high, roughly how much you paid for
the petrol for the 3 days with the rented car?
Thanks

Hi this is a bit tricky, because dif petrol station has dif pump price per liter, the difference is about 0.05 to 0.2 per liter. We spend about AUD 100 for 3 days
