Perth Edutrip: Day Two: Curtin University and Fremantle Harbor

We got out from the hotel at eight, thankfully without further locking ourselves outside our room. We immediately went to Curtin University, for an insight on what we would be interested in, as we would need to pick a university in two years.

I won't advertise or anything, but I do got to say, the college and university is quite nice. It also encourages people to learn, through various captivating programs. One of them is the sand architecture by the people in architecture and design. Oh: all photos taken by my Canon EOS 600D.

Well, the second one wasn't actually made by the students, but it was fascinating.

Curtin is quite spacious, and it would be a shame if the Australian sun isn't put into good use. People relaxed outside, reading books and doing their work on beanbag chairs. Well, back to some street photography. Snapped these guys chilling out.

The campus is indeed very open, with a touch of wildness to it. Crows come and go, and also magpies.

After visiting Curtin, we went to Fremantle Harbor for a lunch of fish and chips. Needless to say, it deserved to be called the best in Australia. Our group ate at Kaliki's, and the fish was really fresh and juicy. Shame I couldn't try food photography here as I was already hungry.

Just don't leave the fish outside unattended as there are seagulls.

Lots of seagulls.

Right. After eating lunch, we went straight to our destination: a three hour trip to Margaret River, south of Perth. Nothing too interesting there, though we could see the dry autumn landscape of West Australia along the way.

And then, we met those that would be our good buddies for these nine days. That's a big story about culture exchange, so, until next time, then.
