WAAAAHHHHH....

i wanna cry >.<''''

i was "studying" the 3day-down-south-trip plan sent over by weiyue..

hardly even understand a sentence, cuz i hav no idea of "what road what place what to do what to book" that is mentioned in the email.. ended up googling almost every single thing!!!! confused........... headache......

then again, super amazed at the informations i found from the internet!!!!!

i really think perth is quite cool.

first, there's this Dawenville Channel....

It was constructed to alleviate an environmental problem which had developed where the estuarine systems had become eutrophic. The estuaries' ability to support the natural flora and fauna had become seriously degraded and the smell of rotting algae, particularly during the summer months had caused increasing complaints from residents. Stocks of the normally abundant fish and crabs had become depleted and recreational use was impacted. The deteriorating environmental situation became a major political and environmental issue for th WA Government during the mid 1980s.

The channel allows seawater from the Indian Ocean to regularly flush in and out of the estuary using the daily tidal movements which in turn prevent the build up of algae.

P/s: can you see the Dawenville Channel from the map there..? its man-made channel that opens up to Indian Ocean, other than the natural opening to ocean on north of the Peel Inlet.

okie then...

Found out that Busselton Jetty is more than just a jetty...!!!

read below:
Described as Australia's greatest artificial reef, the Busselton Jetty is home to an awesome forest of brightly coloured corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Busselton Jetty is the longest wooden jetty (pier) in the southern hemisphere , stretching almost 2 km out to sea from the town of Busselton, WA . Because the shallow waters of Geographe Bay restricted ship movement, a long jetty was required so that the cut timber could be transported to the ships. In 1839 Governor Hutt appointed "the place in Geographe Bay opposite the Settlement at The Vasse to be the legal place for the loading and unloading of goods".

The underwater observatory was opened on 13 December 2003 at a cost of AUD $3.5 million.
Since that time, over 250,000 people have visited the attraction. The underwater observatory is located 1.8 km from shore - almost at the end of the Busselton Jetty - and can accommodate up to 40 people at a time in its 9.5 m diameter observation chamber. Descending 8 metres below sea level, visitors can view the corals and fish life through eleven viewing windows.
