Reporter Arwee

For the tourist visiting Perth is a wonderful adventure to visit Perth, the most beautiful and cleanest city in Australia, then jump on the ferry at Barrack street for a 15 minute journey across the Swan River to arrive at Mends St Jetty, on the way you are likely to see a few dolphins in the river or glance up to Kings Park which is the most popular vantage point to view the city (the view at night is spectacular).

สำหรับนักท่องเที่ยวที่กำลังจะมาเที่ยวที่เพิร์ธ เป็นอะไรที่น่ายินดีที่จะได้ผจญภัยในเมืองที่สวยงามและสะอาดที่สุดในออสเตรเลีย เมื่อไหร่ที่คุณได้มีเวลาเที่ยวชมเมืองลองนั่งเรือเฟอรารีจากถนน Barrack เพียงแค่สิบห้านาทีในการนั่งเรือข้ามฟากแม้น้ำสวอนมาที่ท่าเรือที่ถนน Mends ระหว่างทางคุณอาจจะโชคดีเห็นปลาโลมาว่ายน้ำเล่นก็เป็นได้ หรือชำเลืองงมองขึ้นดูคิงส์ปาร์คสักนิด ซึ่งเป็นสวนสาธารณะบนเขาจุดชมวิวมี่สวยที่สุดในพิร์ธ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งช่วงเวลากลางคืน.

When you arrive at Mend St Jetty (it’s the same route to visit Perth’s Zoo) then walk 100 mtrs to elevated street frontage entrance to Coco’s Riverside Bar and Restaurant..

เมื่อไหร่ที่คุณข้ามฟากมาถึงท่าเรือถนน Mendหรือสวนสัตว์เพิร์ธ ให้เดินตรงมาประมาณ100เมตรทางถนนที่เป็นเนินสูง คุณจะเห็นทางเข้าของร้านอาหารและบาร์โคโค่ ซึ่งตั้งอยู่ริมแม่น้ำสวอน.

From the moment you arrive you just know it’s special and my Boss had a meta message to share about this place.
เมื่อไหร่ที่คุณมาถึงและคุณจะรู้ว่ามันพิเศษแค่ไหน และเจ้านายของฉันก็มีนิยามสั้นๆมาแชร์เกี่ยวกับร้านนอาหารนี้เช่นกันค่ะ.

It is a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city for some relaxation. Kings Park boasts an amazing range of flora and fauna.  Take a stroll through the park on one of the nature trails or follow some of the interpretive trails describing the history of the area, botany and wildlife.Or alternatively, free guided walks by volunteers are available daily at 10am and 2pm each day covering various areas of interest about the park. Guided walks start near the Aspects Gift Shop on Fraser Avenue.Kings Park is also an excellent vantage point to capture photos of the Perth city skyline, the Swan River, and South Perth.

Asean Now the Place to Grow - lets go W.A.

Austrade - Seminar Perth Oct 28, 2009

ASEAN Now! The Place to Grow
Your journey into one of Australia’s largest markets begins here.

Image via Wikipedia

The Duxton’s Seminar facilities were at full capacity attendance from local Industry in Perth West Australia.


Patronage was widespread with sectors of Industry from Technology, Mining, Transport, Importers and exporters.

There is no doubt W.A. has serious trading links with our Asian Neighbour and the announcements by the presenters provide significant opportunities for W.A. business to develop these markets.






With Australia’s largest free trade agreement, the ASEAN*-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement, expected to enter into force on 1 January 2010, now is the time to look to ASEAN countries for opportunities to grow your business.



Business confidence in ASEAN is improving, with the major ASEAN economies forecast to grow strongly over the coming years as the global economic recovery takes place.

The message was made loud and clear by the heavyweights of the Asian Trade connection and WA Government

AANZFTA overview and key outcomes
Michael Mugliston, Negotiator , Goods, Asia Trade Task Force, DAFT
Mr Mugliston has lead Australia's free trade agreement negotiations with ASEAN-New Zealand for over four years. Prior to that he served overseas as Deputy Head of Australia's Mission to the EU in Brussels (2001-04) and was Counsellor to Australia's Mission to the GATT in Geneva during the Uruguay Round (1991-94).


Footnote: Michael is a product of UWA

a complex topic: Key tariff reductions/eliminations in sections, rules and Origin.

The information presented by Mr Mugliston was very diverse and complex; consider the achievement of the Australian Government creating a bilateral trade environment between 12 countries. The establishment of a history marking agreement to pave the way for Bilateral Trade Laws, simplifying the way to do business with laws to support the conduct.

Obviously there is going to be some teething problems however it was clear from the confidence and commitment by Mr. Mugliston that this will be done and will be driven by our Government.

I hasten to caution you about website resources, there is now a major legacy of transition of various countries, including Australia to sunset and update their website data; tariffs and the like so if you are serious about your Business then DO contact the appropriate dept., to ratify the validity of the information and ask the next question, what is changing.

Mr Steve Arnott, Director Dept., of State Development – WA Government Programs

Steve acknowledge the enormity of DAFT achievements and the strong Alliance between Austrade and WA.Gov

Quite frankly I never know this entity existed.

During my export endeavours I tended to “D.I.Y” with the admission that when it comes to business enterprise my experience with Government is "cannot see the wood for the trees and cannot see the forest for the trees"

Prov. Cannot perceive the overview or important things because of concentrating too much on details. The information presented in this textbook is so disorganized that I can't see the wood for the trees. The politician's opponents claimed that she couldn't see the forest for the trees, because she spent so much time trying to solve minor problems.

I also acknowledge that my experience shows the opposite with our Government in terms of doing business outside Australia, the likes of:-

DFAT Austrade have been quite extraordinary in terms of their achievement and enthusiasm to support enterprise.

Conversely it continues to be my experience with Tourism and trade into W.A. Government is entombed in a manifestation of rules and regulations and of course the mere mention of this will further blacken my path…. Some Ministers need to read and circulate the training module “A complaint is a gift” and get a reframe on the word “Territorial.

I’m not sure how we are suppose to Trade with some Countries when they are not welcomed.

I will now visit the website of the Dept of State Development and update the Directories and

Networking links on our website http://www.austhai.biz/ – please note: our website has been “in cobwebs” for the past 6 months while we updated our Travel Thailand website.

We then switched our focus to our Travel WA website WITH DISASTERIOUS RESULTS in terms of synergy with Tourism Australia.


Our experience over the last 6 months is Tourism Australia don’t talk, the only TELL (if you get a reply).... it's not good .... so we have moved on to our next medium to help our Community "Business export".

Sadly some workers don't know their employer's "Mission Statement", perhaps they are lazy or bad Management, it's not meant to be a facade. The easy test for this is ask them a few questions or challenge a process and oh boy... so many we have approached about Tourism Australia and I feel like I'm on a certain Aussie airline that show an intolerant view toward customers and Service... oops I say no more

Our Business website – WA and Thailand is now our focus, our monthly visits to Thailand are adding Icons support our Mission statement. The most recent addition, a “Joint Venture” project with SME Bangkok is a website for Aussie Business Execs tours to Bangkok. A draft is on display at http://www.tours.thaibis.com/ .. how does it support our Mission statement ... simple make it easy and attractive for business people to visit, they either see Business Opportunities or that bring back benefits be it business or social. This si what we wanted to do with Tourim for WA but our perception is you can't get in.

Key Points from Seminar
Austrade are absolutely an innovative and entrepreneurial (and very enthusiastic) agency – do

not under estimate their capacity to guide and connect you to markets. The advisers are available for contact to determine viability of your product/service, they have branches in most countries.

Image via Wikipedia

DAFT through their Task Force have creating History, you should be part of it.

Handout Literature – The documentation comprised about 30 pages broken into about 6 sections with diagrams and recital, each is relevant to different markets. It’s very useful information, I’m not sure if it is on any website but simply if you are serious you will and should contact the department. If the energy of the speakers is anything to go by then you will be served well by their workforce.

Rules and Regulations – Transitional – check with the depts. Before you bind your decisions based on the web page data

Two-way trade between Australia and ASEAN countries reached $88.9 billion in 2008, more than our trade with either Japan or China. Opportunities for business engagement are set to increase when the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) comes into effect. As Australia’s most comprehensive FTA, this milestone agreement will give you greater access to a market of 600 million consumers, with a combined GDP of A$3.1 trillion. It will significantly raise Australia’s profile throughout ASEAN member countries, create direct economic benefits through tariff reductions and greater investment opportunities and provide greater certainty for business. More details on AANZFTA can be found at www.dfat.gov.au/trade/fta/asean/aanzfta.


AANZFTA, together with the resilience of the ASEAN economies, their geographic proximity and our strong business and cultural links, will further enhance opportunities for your business in one of Australia’s most prospective trading markets.

Thailand Golfers will never believe this golf Course in West Australia

Image via Wikipedia

Giant golf course to open in the West Australian outback

Covering roughly the same distance as Land's End to John O'Groats, it is a golf course that requires a driver, that is a Bus Driver!!!! at every single hole.

Image by kool_skatkat via Flickr

Image by Tony Spencer via Flickr

The holes are so far apart that players will have to be bused from one to the next and are likely to encounters some native Australian wildlife, including kangaroos, bush turkeys, emus, snakes and, of course, flies, on their way.

Alf Caputo, who has managed the construction project, said the idea was to attract tourists and golfers who want to experience "the real Australia".

"Australia's Nullarbor Links" is the largest course in the world, crossing two time zones and encompassing some of the flattest, driest terrain on the planet.

It spans two states, stretching 848 miles from Ceduna in the south to the old gold mining town of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Image via Wikipedia

"There's some absolutely amazing scenery out there and before Nullarbor Links there was no magnet to bring people out there to have a look at these beautiful things," he said.

As well as its size, the course boasts some rather unique sights.
"One of the holes is right smack bang in the middle of a sheep station," Mr Caputo said. "You can actually see the sheep, you can see the shearing shed, you can imagine international tourists will have never seen anything like it in their lives.

Image by Michael Gorey via Flickr

"There's also a wheat farming area – people would have never seen anything like it."
Construction on the course, which has taken five years, will finish next month and its first tournament will be held in October.



The seventh hole features an unusual water hazard

Some 250,000 tourists travel the Eyre Highway each year, and it is hoped the venture will draw more than 26,000 visitors from England, Japan and China annually to bolster the region's tourism market and its economy.

Image via Wikipedia

The course, which was part-funded by the Australian government, is expected to take between three days to one week to complete, with players staying in roadside motels en route. Driving time between the holes varies from 45 minutes to two and a half hours.

Mr Caputo said he believed the launch of the links would not be affected by the global downturn in travel. "This is a course that backpackers can do, you can stay in caravan parks and drive yourself around," he said.


"It is also so unique, and that's the difference, you can go to the Sydney Opera House 30 times and nothing changes, but there is nothing else like this in the world.


"It's not just a game of golf, it's a true Australian experience."

Here's a news release I received from the tourism board of Western Australia which includes the areas of Perth and Fremantle

Most travelers to the land down under opt for Sydney, the great barrier reef, and Melborne, but the south west coast comes alive with the Australia of years past, where folks on the street still greet you with 'hey mate.' Read on for more details:
A place of stunning natural beauty and an authentic indigenous frontier culture. The country’s largest state, Western Australia is the size of all of Western Europe, yet has a population of just 2.1 million people—75 percent live in the capital city of Perth. This means the countryside is brimming with unspoiled wilderness and boasts some of the most magnificent natural wonders, "Down Under".

Image via Wikipedia

From undulating sand dunes to tropical gorges to stunning Outback landscapes and the largest freshwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere, Western Australia is truly the “Real Australia.”



Travelers seeking an authentic “Aussie” experience incorporating romantic luxury, outdoor adventure, an introduction to Aboriginal culture.



The capital city of Perth is vibrant and culturally rich, yet manages to retain the familiarity and friendliness of a small town. Located on the banks of the tranquil Swan River, with 50 miles of white sand beaches within 15 minutes of the Central Business District, Perth is a a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts.

View Larger Map

The city boasts a mild year-round climate and receives more hours of sunshine than any other Australian capital city—making it the perfect place to enjoy a day of sailing, wind- or kite surfing, kayaking, surfing, or swimming at legendary seaside spots such as Cottesloe or Scarborough.



Alternatively, visitors can enjoy a stroll and a picnic in the botanical gardens at King’s Park—the world’s largest green space within a major city in the world—or board a ferry to South Perth and take in the view of the city’s famous skyline. Another can’t-miss is the unforgettable sight of daybreak over Perth, when the sun rises out of the Indian Ocean and reflects off of the city’s dazzling glass and steel skyscrapers. In addition to its fantastic outdoor offerings, Perth is also home to numerous cultural attractions—from the renowned indigenous art collection at the Art Gallery of Western Australia to the trendy boutiques and galleries of the Subiaco neighborhood as well as on Murray and King streets.

Image via Wikipedia

Visitors can also experience the city’s lively arts and music scene in the diverse array of bars, clubs, and pubs in the Leederville, Mount Lawley, and Northbridge neighborhoods. For the gastronome, Perth’s restaurants encompass everything from funky to fine dining, with special emphasis on the region’s premium produce, seafood, artisan foods and award-winning Western Australian wines.


The greater Perth region offers additional attractions just an hour’s drive from the city center. Visitors can enjoy a weekend at a boutique guesthouse to explore the farm trails and vineyards of the peaceful Swan Valley; take a bushwalk in one of several national parks in the Darling Range to catch glimpses of the native wildlife; or go hot-air ballooning or sky diving in the Avon Valley. Rottnest Island, affectionately known as “Rotto,” a popular holiday spot located just offshore from Perth. Rotto is a car-free island only trafficked by bikes and pedestrians, and is the perfect place for sunbathing, fishing, or snorkeling above shipwrecks in crystal clear waters.
The Coral Coast: North of Perth lies Western Australia’s fabled Coral Coast 1000 km of pristine, white-sand beaches and warm, turquoise waters that make for world-class snorkeling and scuba diving. Perhaps one of the most famous destinations for visitors desiring a close encounter with nature is at Monkey Mia, located within the Shark Bay Marine Park, a World Heritage-designated coastline. Here, wild bottlenose dolphins make daily visits to the clear shallows of the bay, enchanting visitors with their gregariousness and playful behavior.


Surfers flock to the region, especially to the town of Geraldton, which provides consistent waves suitable for novices to experienced wave riders, and to Kalbarri, which is famous for its big, left-hand breaks at Kalbarri. Inland from the coast, the Kalbarri National Park abounds with bush-walking and abseiling opportunities for those looking for non-aquatic pursuits.


Another highlight of the region is the Ningaloo Reef. Located on the Northwest Cape section of the coast, the reef begins near Coral Bay, nearly 800 miles north of Perth, and ends 160 miles later at the beach town of Exmouth. Now a national marine park, Ningaloo is one of the world’s best-preserved and largest fringing coral reefs, covering an impressive 2,500 square miles. It is home to 500 species of tropical fish and 220 species of coral, and visitors don’t need scuba certification to explore the reef. Located just offshore, Ningaloo Reef is ideal for even first-time snorkelers and the lack of crowds, accessibility, and consistently beautiful weather, make the reef a haven for underwater enthusiasts. While manta rays and dolphins frequent the reef, from April to July it’s also possible to swim alongside whale sharks, the largest fishes on earth. Although they can reach up to 60 feet in length, these gentle creatures feed only on plankton.

In the mid-Coast region, the port town of Cervantes is the gateway to Nambung National Park, famed for its limestone spires known as The Pinnacles. These craggy pillars, which are millions of years old, are considered one of Australia’s most unusual and beautiful landscape features. Between July and November, over 12,000 species of wildflower—many of them indigenous to Australia—bring the inland area along the Coral Coast alive with color, providing unforgettable photographic opportunities
