Day 5 - Fremantle, Caversham Wildlife Park and Chocoalte Factory

Early in the morning, we went to both the Fremantle market and E-Shed market. Many of us bought many items at the market and continued to look for items for our friends and family at E-shed. We soon reaslised that the prices at E-shed were cheaper than those at the Fremantle market and wished that we had gone to E-shed first.

After having Fish and Chips, we were taken to the nougat factory where we were allowed to taste the nougat before buying it. The nougat factory produced nougat of different flavours (Cappuccino, Cherry, Apricot, Vanilla, Lemon and more) and they tasted really delicious!

We visited the Caversham Wildlife Park later in the afternoon and had an opportunity to feed and touch the kangeroos. We were able able to pat the wombat and koalas. We were instructed not to touch the heads of the animals as we might scare the animals. We were told that koalas are fussy eaters. They do not eat eucalyptus leaves that have been touched by us. We were treated to the farm show and saw how the sheep dog gathered the sheep at the command of the stockman. During sheep shearing, the sheep looked as though it was in pain. We found out later that the sheep shearing was not painful as it looked. It is like the sheep getting a haircut!
