Hiking Numbat Walking Track in Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary, Avon Valley

Last weekend was a long weekend for us West Aussies to mark WA Day. A few friends and I decided to head out for a hike to kick off our long weekend.

Paruna Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Avon Valley, about an hour’s drive north east of Perth. It’s only open during the cooler months, autumn through to spring. It’s a privately owned and managed parkland that is well maintained and the walking trails are easy to follow. There are 3 hiking trail loops you can walk on depending on how far you want to walk. There’s a $10 entry fee per person and you have to book in advance to ensure you snag a spot as they only allow a limited number of hikers into the sanctuary each day.

Mid-week day out at Island Market and Milk Barrel

As we had a few days off for Chinese New Year, we decided to take the opportunity to take our parents out for lunch and dessert mid-week. We drove up north to Scarborough to Island Market for lunch. It was such a beautiful day out. We were sitting by the window and could see the blue ocean and white sandy beach. It was calming to be enjoying a lovely middle eastern inspired meal with the family. I definitely recommend Island Market to those who haven’t been before.

Shooting Kodachrome II Film Simulation on the X-T4 in Fremantle

Over the Easter Long weekend back in early April, I went on my first proper photowalk in 2021 with my Fujifilm X-T4 camera with the Fujifilm 23mm f2 lens. It was the first time I was using The X-T4 for full on a casual walk. So far I’ve only used the X-T4 for client work and just haven’t had much free time this year to just do photography for fun. For the walk I decided to use Ritchie’s Kodachrome II Film Simulation recipe. It has a bit of an old school nostalgic look.

Dosukoi Ramen, Fremantle Markets

Most ramen-lovers in Perth will likely be familiar with Dosukoi noodle shop located inside Fremantle markets. It’s been around since 2007 and it was probably one of the first few ramen shops in Perth before the ramen craze took off! It doesn’t seat many people however you won’t need to wait long for your ramen as the service is quick and people tend to be in and out of there quickly. They’re only open on Fridays to Sundays, so it’s definitely a weekend kind of activity.

A few weekends ago we were in Fremantle and decided to try it for ourselves. I love trying the “original” ramen when I’m trying a new joint for the first time. It was hearty and hot bowl of soup, very comforting for what was a chilly spring day.

I was out with my favourite lens, the Fujinon 35mm f1.4, and managed to capture some straight out of camera images using my Fujifilm X-T10. The base film simulation was classic chrome.
