Bali has everything-beautiful beaches, sacred mountains, famous lakes, temples, and cultures. Bali is pure, magical and abundant in beauty. You don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy a holiday in Bali, and you can discover unimaginable places here. This weekend I decided to discover a new place around Sanur area which is not too far from my home. I went to an abandoned place called Taman Safari Park just north of Sanur in Padang Galak area. Once upon a time, Taman Safari was developed by an Indonesian bussinesman who went bankrupt after a short while. This place was used as a 3D theater, little crocodile zoo and bird park.
The first time I entered the 3D theatre I could feel that this place is eerie and scary. I got goose bumps anytime I was scared. I just found out that this place is called by local people as a "Ghost Town". Despite this place looking eerie, it would be cool for the keen photographer. They can get great photos in some spots. Like in front of the 3D theater there was a big tree with roots around the building, that were very fantastic. Here are some of pictures in this abandoned park:

| Its cool for taking pictures here |
 |
| I suggest you to wear sneakers or shoes to explore this area because lot of bushes and branches from trees. |

| Be careful with this abandoned area because the building is unused for a long time, that can be dangerous in some places like this old windows. |
Seperti kebanyakan wanita pada umumnya, saya gemar sekali belanja (siapa yang tidak?). Kali ini saya mau menjelajahi pasar tradisional Bali di pasar Kumbasari bersama teman saya Eni. Pasar Kumbasari terletak bersebelahan dengan pasar Badung dengan pemisah sungai kecil dengan jembatan sebagai penghubungnya. Dulunya pasar ini bernama pasar Priuk. Mendengar kata pasar pasti terbesit didalam pikiran kita bahwa pasar adalah tempat transaksi jual beli yang kotor, kumuh, bau dan berantakan, itu sebabnya kebanyakan orang memilih berbelanja di supermarket atau mall. Tetapi tidak halnya dengan pasar Kumbasari. Pasar ini cukup bersih, rapi dan juga nyaman untuk berbelanja. Letaknya juga sangat strategis dan mudah dijangkau. Pasar Kumbasari adalah pusat perbelanjaan untuk barang pernak-pernik, cinderamata, aksesoris, furnitur, garmen dan makanan bagi masyarakat Denpasar, Bali itu sebabnya sekitar area tempat ini sering kali mengalami kemacetan.

Hari ini adalah hari Sabtu, waktu yang tepat untuk mengisi akhir pekan dengan kegiatan berbelanja barang-barang murah dan pernak-pernik lucu. Pertama kali saya memasuki pasar ini yang terbesit dalam pikiran saya adalah ingin membeli semua barang kerajinan yang unik khas Bali dan aksesoris-aksesoris cantik. Dengan bermodalkan uang cash di tas saya sebesar IDR 300,000 saya berusaha mengoptimalkan barang yang ingin dibeli. Dan foto dibawah adalah hasil belanjaan saya dengan total yang saya keluarkan IDR 300,000. Murah sekali bukan? Dan saya dapat banyak barang, yaay :D

| Total rupiah semua barang ini hanya IDR 300,000 |

After I arrived back in Bali from Perth, I had many friends ask me "What was Perth like?, What did I do? What's interesting there?blablabla, so many questions. So here I am, I want to share with my lovely readers some of the interesting things to do and see in Western Australia.
1. See Lake Monger
Lake Monger is near Leederville, less then five kilometres from the city of Perth. I visited this lake in the first day, that it was a quick visit but the path around the lake is popular with joggers, walkers, and cyclists and that in addition to the black swans, ducks, and Pelicans, it's not unusual to spot turtles crossing the path.
 |
| Can you see black swans behind me? maybe not. It's rare for me to see black swans. |
2. Shopping In Watertown
I hadn't really prepared for an Aussie winter, as Bali never gets that cold. So I thought that I could stand the cold...but brrrr, even in the middle of the day the weather was still too cold for me. So I decided to buy a sweater to keep me warm. My recommendation for cheap shopping is called Watertown Brand Outlet Centre. You can check the information here: Watertown Brand Outlet. It's a short walk from the city and train station.

3. Glamping in Karijini National Park

Have you ever heard "Glamping"? Glamping is going camping, but with glamour. A combination of the two words. It's like regular camping, but with nicer things than usual, being warmer, and more comfortable. Glamping isn't done by usual outdoor types who climb mountains (UrbanDictionary source)
Glamping in heart of Karijini National Park was great experience for me. I stayed at the Karijini Eco Retreat for 2 nights. This camp offered you an evironmentaly friendly retreat and campground at Jofre gorge. There is no internet, no telephone, the nearest petrol station and grocery store is 80 kilometers away. Even for wifi we were just allowed to access to view email or website, but no uploading to Instagram, that was hard the world without internet!
4. Exploring Gorges in Karijini National Park
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing -Helen Keller-

| Fortescue Falls |
Escape the Perth city on an adventure In Karijini National Park for exploring many gorges they have is the best travel experience you must have. Karijini have lot of stunning gorges which presents a lot of ancient rocky tunnels, waterfall, and amazing scenery. I have been in Hammersley gorge, Waeno gorge, Fortescue falls, Forn lake, and Kalamina gorge.
Getting there: Qantas airline has daily flights to Paraburdoo airport. You can hire a car to go to Karijini National Park.

5. Barramundi and White Wine
For lovers of seafood, make sure you taste an original 'Barramundi' fish from Australia. It is one of the things you have to put on your bucket list. Barramundi has been called the perfect fish for a changing world. Barramundi and white wine is the best pairing. An Australian fish deserves an Australian wine. Perfect!
 |
| Barramundi is so yummy! |

6. Hillarys Boat Harbor
Hillarys Boat Harbor, just a little north from city of Perth, is easily accessible via a drive along the stunning coastline. The boat harbor is also a shopping centre, targeted mainly at tourists, and contains many Australian stores, selling everything from bikini's and surf wear, Australian art, and great food. (Don't forget to enjoy hot chocolate from San Churros over there)
Hillarys is also home to AQWA , the aquarium of western Australia, a world class aquarium where you can get up close and personal with everything from sharks to a clown fish. Sadly I'd taken up too much time shopping that afternoon, and didn't make it to AQWA. There is always next time :D

8. Enjoy Sunset in Scarborough Beach

| Perfect Sunset in Scarborough Beach |
I absolutely love sunsets. I always make time to catch a beautiful sunset, whenever I'm in a new place and travelling. Every sunset is different - the colors, the clouds, and each has something unique about it. Sunset in Scarborough beach is spectacular, it's really beautiful.
9. See Perth's Night Life View From King's Park and Botanic Garden
If you want to see Perth city lights, the best time is in the evening from King's park and Botanical Garden. It's a public park and open for visiting in 24 hours, everyday of the year. You will see a lot of limousines parking up there at night - often carrying newly weds, or party people wanting to enjoy the night view from above and take pictures.
10. Discover Graffiti Art Walls
One thing I noticed about Perth, besides how clean it is, is the wonderful artwork and graffiti which cover the sides of buildings, up alley ways, and on shop fronts. Some are so colourful and pretty, and all help give Perth an artistic vibe unlike any other city I've visited.
This the only a good reason to get up early, and that's to catch a plane. Yes, in the second day in Australia, I flew from Perth to Karijini National Park. I just agreed to participate in a winter photoshoot and an amazing adventure in a beautiful land Karijini National Park. On the first post Travel Journal : Karijini National Park I before, I already talked about all gorges I've visited. And now, Just I want to share few photography pictures I've done with the Australian photographer from enchanting view of Karijini National Park.
