【オーストラリア旅行Vlog】世界で最も美しい街 パースで、世界一幸せな動物 クォッカに出会う旅 | COMO The Treasury ロットネスト島 コアラ

This summer vacation, my son and I are heading to Perth, a place I’ve always wanted to visit. Located on the western edge of Australia, Perth is known as the most beautiful city in the world. It’s also said to be the most livable city in the world, with urban and natural environments coexisting. This will be our first visit, so we’re excited to see what it’s like. We ‘ll also be heading out to Rottnest Island to see the happiest animals in the world. From Japan, ANA operates direct flights from Narita Airport three times a week. The flight takes about 10 hours, with three round trips per week from both Narita and Perth on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. After enjoying our in-flight meal and dozing off while watching a movie, we arrived in Perth before we knew it. The Airport Line runs from the airport, directly to Perth Station, and takes about 20 minutes. The city center is about 12 km away, and it’s a 20-30 minute drive. This time, we took a taxi, which cost about 50 Australian dollars. Perth in late August, mid-winter. It was raining overnight, so it’s 8°C. I’m wearing a light down jacket. When it clears up, it’s expected to exceed 15°C during the day, which may be slightly warmer than mid-winter in Tokyo. This time, I’m staying at a hotel in the city center and will use it as my base for four days. It seems I’ve arrived. COMO The Treasury is a five-star hotel representing Perth, housed in a renovated historic building built in the mid-19th century and winning numerous awards. The atmosphere is pleasant and enjoyable. I’m shown to the fireplace and check-in. I’m given a welcome drink. Everyone there is very kind, and they’ve shared many recommendations for Perth, making me even more excited for my time here. I’m shown to my room and ready to get some rest for the next day. The room has a tasteful, natural, and high-quality interior. The hotel is huge, with beautiful brickwork. Good night. Good morning . My room has a balcony. It’s exciting to finally see my surroundings when it’s light out. It ‘s a very beautiful and sophisticated room. I’ll be sharing my stay in the next video, so please check it out. COMO The Treasury isn’t yet in Japan, but the brand operates 18 hotels in major cities around the world, remote valleys in Bhutan, and private tropical islands. We went for breakfast. The first floor features a cafe, wine bar, beer bar, and coffee stand, popular with locals. Post, an all-day dining breakfast restaurant, is stylish and comfortable . They offer a set menu with several options. Speaking of Australia, coffee is synonymous with Australia. They have a unique cafe culture. A long black is what we call an American coffee in Japan. A flat white is similar to a cafe latte. A healthy drink from the hotel spa arrived. It was delicious. Cut fruit. Everything looked delicious. My son chose an open-faced omelet with salmon topping for his main course. It was exquisite. I’ve decided to have it again tomorrow. I chose buttermilk pancakes. The viola on top was stylish and uplifting. It was so sweet and made me feel happy. I wake up. It made my first morning in Perth, Australia, the best. I’d like to take a walk around the city of Perth. Looking at the hotel building again, I can see its overwhelming presence. It really elevates the atmosphere of the area and is truly beautiful. Right next door is St. George’s Cathedral, which serves as the central hub of the Anglican Church not only in Perth but also in Western Australia. Consecrated in 1888, it is one of the few cathedrals built entirely of handmade brick. Built in the Gothic Revival style, it uses materials unique to Western Australia: jarrah roof trusses and arches, Fremantle limestone, and bricks from three historic brickworks along the Swan River . The organ at St. George’s Cathedral is said to be of the highest quality in Australia. The stained glass at the top is blue, allowing blue light to filter in in parts, creating a sense of depth within the cathedral. I go outside and take a walk. There’s public art everywhere, and it’s a truly stylish city. I found a map. COMO The Treasury is located on the upper right side of this intersection. It immediately leads out to the mighty Swan River, and beyond that, the Indian Ocean. The buildings surrounding the hotel are also new tenants under old British-style buildings. The roads and sidewalks are wide, and the atmosphere is great. This is Hay Street, a pedestrian zone. Another street away is Murray Street, also a pedestrian zone. Further ahead is Perth Station, where department stores and supermarkets are located. I was looking for something to eat, and found a restaurant that caught my eye, so I stopped in. This banh mi restaurant had excellent reviews and ratings. The banh mi I had with my son in Vietnam was so delicious, we still talk about it from time to time. Since it was so popular, we decided to give it a try. Incidentally, there were many Japanese restaurants in the area, including ramen shops and takeout sushi restaurants. I ordered the Original Three-Meat Combination. It was $12. The bread, with its perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors and coriander, was truly delicious. I returned and wandered around Hay Street. There were benches and tables here and there, where people were relaxing. Along the way, I spotted a particularly eye-catching building. It had a mechanical clock in the center. London Court is a small shopping arcade built in the English Cheddar style in 1937. It’s home to antique shops, souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes, and more, and is bustling with tourists and locals alike. The charming atmosphere of the inner streets, reminiscent of European alleyways, makes it fun to just stroll around and take photos. Exiting the tunnel, I felt like I was transported to London. Walking toward the station, I emerged into a square called Forrest Place. It’s really stylish, with Apple in a converted bank and H&M in a converted post office. There are shopping malls and tourist information centers nearby. And there is Perth Station. There’s a cute green monument in front. I spotted a cute seagull. The station building has a retro charm, reminiscent of the era when it opened in 1894. From here, you can also visit the suburban port town of Fremantle. I stopped by the supermarket and did a little shopping before heading back. In a souvenir shop, I found a magnet of Rottnest Island, my destination the next day. As the sun set, the island’s lights began to twinkle. Tonight, I enjoyed dinner at the hotel. The hotel’s restaurant is said to be the best fine dining in Perth. I took a private elevator to the restaurant. The glass walls created a sense of openness. The elegant, contemporary space at Wildflower, a three-hat restaurant, offers a menu inspired by the six seasons of the Nougat tribe, and the restaurant prides itself on using the finest ingredients from Western Australia. They offer an eight-course meal or a six-course meal excluding meat and cheese. I chose the six-course option. I toasted with the recommended Austrian beer and a signature cocktail. The amuse-bouche, inspired by the restaurant’s name, Wildflower, was shaped like a blooming flower. It coincided with the upcoming wildflower season, making for a perfect start. The menu continued, beautifully presented like art. The food is of course superb, with flavours and textures that are beyond imagination, making it a delight from start to finish. Guests can enjoy the bounty of Western Australia, including tuna from Fremantle, pork from Linley Valley, and seafood from Shark Bay. Birak, Bunnuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba, and Kambarang represent the six seasons in the indigenous Nougat people’s calendar. The Nougat people feel the seasons guided by nature, adapting to the changes in Western Australia’s environment. Every dish celebrates the bounty of the land, and the chefs provide detailed explanations for each dish served. We were introduced to Western Australian ingredients and learned a lot about the Nougat tribe and its history. My interest in the area grew, and I’d like to visit Shark Bay and other places. It was a captivating, artistic dinner. Thank you for the delicious meal. Good night. Good morning. It was the morning of my third day in Perth. Today, I was looking forward to visiting Rottnest Island, home to wild quokkas. Before that, I had breakfast. I ordered the delicious open-faced omelette and avocado toast that I had yesterday. The coffee was delicious again today. Now, our short trip to Rottnest Island began. The hotel arranged our ferry tickets and island tour bus. When I checked into my room on the day of check-in, my tickets, schedule, map, and guide were already there, which was very helpful. The ferry terminal was only a short distance from the hotel, but they took me there. The driver told me all about the island, which made it even more exciting. Where the Swan River meets the island is a beautiful resting spot called Elizabeth Quay, where you’ll find the Bell Tower, shaped like a black swan. This area also has a very Perth-esque atmosphere, and I’d like to take a stroll around, but I don’t think I have time this time. The ferry terminal to Rottnest Island. There seem to be two ferry companies operating the ferry service, and I booked a ferry with ROTTNEST EXPRESS. Since I already had a reservation and a QR code ticket, I headed straight to the pier. The ferry had a lovely design. The interior was very clean and I was delighted. I had some information provided by the hotel, including a map of the island. The ferry is two-story and open-air. There is also a shop. Tourists are not allowed to drive, so there are plenty of rental bicycles. There are also shuttle buses and tour buses on the island, and I booked a tour bus this time. It takes just under two hours to get to Rottnest Island. It costs AS129 per adult. (Same-day round trip) Departing at 8:45 AM. It’s nice to be able to see the city of Perth from this side. We slowly navigated the Swan River for over an hour. Along the way, we stopped in the port city of Fremantle, picking up passengers. This charming city is apparently home to a World Heritage-listed prison, and some people choose to stay here. From Fremantle, we crossed the Indian Ocean. From here, we picked up speed and headed toward the island, arriving in about 30 minutes. We arrived at 10:30 AM. The return ferry departed sharply at 4 PM. Although it was a short time, we wanted to enjoy the island as much as possible and perhaps even encounter some wild quokkas. Upon disembarking, we first came across a tourist information center, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Since we were heading for a tour bus, we looked for the bus stop. There it was. It looked like this one. In addition to the tour bus, there seemed to be a circular bus, and we could buy a day pass and get on and off as we pleased. While waiting for the bus, I spotted my first quokka. I heard they’re nocturnal and sleepy during the day. They’re so cute. The bus arrived, and we boarded for the 90-minute tour. The bus was clean and the guide was very helpful. It was a great experience. We traveled along the island’s southern coastline and took in the beautiful cape at its western end. Bicycles and buses are the only means of transportation, and without a reservation, you can only explore the area within walking distance, so it’s a good idea to arrange a bike or bus in advance. As soon as the bus started moving, we spotted a quokka eating on the roadside. The unique landscape and vegetation continued. Due to the strong winds and wind, large trees do not grow, and low-growing shrubs dominate. With little precipitation and scarce groundwater, many plants are adapted to the dry climate. These factors seem to create a unique landscape. Wildflowers are also a sight to behold, and from September to November, the entire island is painted pink and yellow. The south and western ends, facing the shoreline, have strong waves. The island’s limestone base, along with its many cliffs and reefs, creates a deeper, more intense blue. In contrast, the north side is a quiet cove with a tranquil, resort-like beach. We arrived at the western end of the island. This cape is named after the Dutch explorer who coined the name, “Cape Vlamingh.” The limestone cliffs and powerful waves of the Indian Ocean collide, creating a dynamic landscape. The crashing white waves create a powerful sense of the island’s end. The observation deck and promenade offer a nearly 360-degree panoramic view of the ocean. It ‘s also a popular sunset spot, and from June to November, you might even spot humpback whales. The colors of the sea, sand, and vegetation are fascinating. Many resemble succulents. The refreshing horizon lightens my heart. It’s strange to find myself walking on the edge of a small island in the Southern Hemisphere. The stunning colors of nature are burned into my memory. After spending some time here, we returned by bus, driving along a different route than we had taken. After arriving at the bus stop, I walked a little, hoping to spot a quokka, and I immediately spotted one. I was surprised to see so many others. Looking closely, I saw many quokkas curled up and sleeping on the side of the road and under trees. Some were awake and eating leaves. Looking up from below, it seemed like they could be photographed smiling, but it was difficult. Above all, they live a relaxed life, so don’t disturb them. I kept a certain distance and used a zoom lens to take my photos. Some quokkas approached without hesitation, but I backed away to avoid touching them. After enjoying the quokkas to my heart’s content, I decided to have lunch. I decided to stop by The Lodge Wadjemup, the island’s newest and most stylish hotel. It’s a great place to stay overnight on the island. The hotel’s Sunset Bar & Dining offers a wide variety of dishes, including snacks, made with local ingredients and seafood. There seemed to be a wide selection of taps, and the beer was also good. So, I went for a craft beer from a local brewery named after Gage Roads off Rottnest Island. My son requested a cheeseburger. Both the patty and bun were grilled to perfection and incredibly delicious. The fries were light and seasoned perfectly—I couldn’t stop eating. Full , we decided to take another walk to see the quokkas. Their adorable appearance and laid-back lifestyle made me want to be a quokka myself. It was almost time to head back. We arrived at an area with supermarkets and souvenir shops. There were plenty of quokkas here, too. The supermarket was surprisingly large. Inside, there were plenty of quokka merchandise and souvenirs, including sunscreen, snorkels, T-shirts, and hats. There were also fresh produce, alcohol, deli items, and preserved foods. Perhaps because many people stay at lodges for long periods in the summer, snorkeling, the area was packed. After buying souvenirs, we saw a group of quokkas gathered in front of the supermarket, so we spent some more time looking at them. Looking closely, we spotted a mother and her baby, both with their babies inside their pouches. It rained for about 20 minutes along the way. We were able to see the beautiful ocean and meet so many quokkas, and I’m very satisfied. It was a wonderful time that will remain in my memory forever. The quokkas were so cute. Let’s take the ferry back to Perth. Tired and asleep, we arrived in Perth before we knew it. The Elizabeth Quay area in the evening also looked really nice. It seems we had more fun than I expected, and I’m still feeling a bit dazed, so I think I’ll just rest at the hotel for the night. I’ll dream of being a quokka and living a relaxing life on Rottnest Island. Good night. Good morning. It’s my last day in Perth. Since my flight is at night, I’ll enjoy Perth as much as I can. Today I’m going to go a little further and take a bus or something. First, I’d like to visit Kings Park, a huge park that is synonymous with Perth. I’m grateful for the bus stop right in front of the hotel. I’m happy that buses are free within Perth’s city center. Apparently, the red area is free. There’s also a free shuttle bus called “CAT” that connects major city spots. The bus arrived. The interior was clean. I headed toward Kings Park, enjoying the view of Perth. We arrived. Kings Park is a park that takes up the entire high hill, and some buses go all the way to the top. I decided to try climbing it myself from the bottom. I quickly found paper daisies, a spring flower representative of Western Australia. Spring is almost here in Perth. I enjoyed walking and spotting wildflowers that don’t grow naturally in Japan. Banksias. They’re very expensive if you buy them at a florist in Japan. Waxflowers. These are also popular in Japan. It was a wonderful walk, with plenty of native Australian wildflowers. Kings Park, at approximately 400 hectares, is one of the largest urban parks in the world. After a leisurely 15-minute walk, I reached the summit. Near the top, there are restaurants, shops, a botanical garden, and a war memorial, and the views are great. Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people there. It’s a spacious, pleasant place, with the sky so close. I was hungry, but the restaurant was closed, so I decided to buy something to eat at the kiosk. They had hamburgers, fish and chips, hot dogs, pizza, and the uniquely Australian meat pie. I bought a few things and decided to eat them under the scenic view. This is the war memorial, commemorating the soldiers from Western Australia who died in World War I. A little further on, there’s the botanical garden. Even without going inside, there are plenty of wildflowers at your feet. This is the kangaroo paw, the state flower. Everyone is enjoying themselves on the neatly trimmed lawn, so we decided to have lunch here too. Fish burger, meat pie, Coke, and long black. It was a wonderful time, overlooking the city of Perth and feeling the refreshing breeze. I headed toward the fence at the viewpoint. It was beautiful. It really showed the importance of the city and nature coexisting side by side. Skyscrapers and the vast, ocean-like Swan River. On this side, a paradise of native plants. Compact, with a good balance between urban and natural beauty, everywhere is clean and pleasant. Perth truly is a wonderful place. On the way back, I stopped by a gallery shop. Everything was tastefully curated, and it was hard to choose. This wombat was adorable, too. Kings Park is still large and has much to offer, but after enjoying the spectacular views and wildflowers, I headed to my next destination. My next stop was the zoo, taking an Uber. I planned to make it to my flight and enjoy as much as possible. The zoo was about a 30-minute drive by freeway. I arrived in an area surrounded by various facilities, including a motor museum and a large park . Caversham Wildlife Park is located here. While the public Perth Zoo is also located nearby, I chose this one for its emphasis on interaction and its many uniquely Australian animals . The admission fee includes koala petting, feeding kangaroos and penguins, and a farm show. Since we entered late, they gave us numbers and told us to go around in this order. Well, let’s explore various places. We immediately arrived at the wombat area, which I wanted to see. Where is it? I found it. It’s hard to see, but this shape is a wombat. Apparently, for an additional fee, you can take a photo with a wombat. Next up was the Tasmanian devil, another animal I wanted to see. Where is it? There it was. This is a spotted-tail quoll. It’s one of Australia’s largest carnivorous marsupials. It’s nocturnal and hunts birds, reptiles, and small mammals. It’s distinctive for its spots, even its tail. This is a yellow-footed rock wallaby. It’s not visible, but it’s a rock wallaby with distinctive yellow legs. It’s endemic to South Australia. Then, I was surprised when I arrived at the koala area. There were so many of them! There were so many photos and names lined up. And there they were. So close. So cute. This was my first time seeing so many koalas eating eucalyptus so enthusiastically. I was moved. Their big ears were so cute. Their noses were so cute. Their eyes, hands, and backs were so cute. The way they moved was so cute. Their shapes were so cute. I was so engrossed that I didn’t notice, but when I turned around, I saw that the entire area was a koala house. There were countless koalas. Here, there was a koala with its baby. Some clinging to its back, others hanging off its belly. I was so happy to be able to see so many koalas up close. There were many more koalas in the next area as well. An adult koala apparently eats 500g to 1kg of eucalyptus leaves per day. Since eucalyptus leaves have very little nutrition, they need to conserve energy, so they sleep nearly 20 hours a day. The word koala comes from Aboriginal language and means an animal that lives in the trees and does not drink water. I was able to see enough koalas. I’m happy. I’m glad I came here. Next, we went to a farm show, as we heard there was one. We saw sheepdogs herding sheep into a pen, as well as a sheep shearing demonstration. It was a truly Australian farm culture experience. There were explanations about farm work and the wool industry, which was fun. Next, we went to an area where we could enter and exit the goats and flightless birds. I saw a very large one, the first time I’d seen one. It’s a “Brahman Bull,” a large, hump-shaped bull common in northern Australia. As we walked, we found the quokka area. Yesterday, we saw many wild quokkas. The ones here are also very beautiful and adorable. Next, we went to the “Little Penguin,” the smallest penguin in the world. They’re said to live permanently in Australia. Australia is amazing. Finally, there was the kangaroo area. You can enter and feed them freely. The big ones are impressively muscular, and the little ones are adorable. There was even an albino one. I’ve skipped over quite a bit, but I was very satisfied with seeing so many uniquely Australian animals. There were also many other animals, birds, and reptiles. I highly recommend it. I returned to the hotel by Uber. I quickly packed and headed to the airport. I’m planning to visit another country this time, so I’ll share that in another video. My time in Perth flew by. I wish I could stay longer, like I was living there. The hotel was really comfortable, and it enhanced my impression of Perth and my memories there. The friendly and warm staff members were always there to greet me as I left. I had requested a ride to the airport, and it was already waiting outside. It was time to head to the airport. Perth, the most beautiful city in the world, is actually easily accessible via direct ANA flights. It has a unique charm that’s different from Sydney and Melbourne. The ocean and nature are condensed into a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. You can also take a day trip to Rottnest Island, where wild quokkas live, and enjoy the luxury of meeting Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos, and wombats. I’d like to go back when the wildflowers color the land. Thank you for reading until the end. Where should I go next? That’s all from Lily.
