I have to document it now before I forget all the hassles that we went through. It would serve as a reference for our upcoming trip to Perth again in Sep 16. It will be right after my dear sister's wedding. Here we go!
Preparation:
1. Air ticket from Scoot @ SGD450 per adult for 4.5hr flight. No discount for toddler & $150 for baby. Total SGD1700.17
2. Apply Visa thru hardwarezone pal @ SGD14.02 in total ($7 per adult). To be printed & attached with passport
3. Book a car (Corolla Hatch) from Avis for our self-drive trip. Estimated cost was AUD 481.82. Actual bill was AZD548.41. After I queried on the discrepancies, Avis Singapore decided to refund the fuel charges of SGD 78.52. Happy experience!
5. Pack milk powder in disposable one-time usage tube.
6. Book hotel with kitchen as we are going to travel with toddler and baby who can't eat solid food. I brought my mummy again. She is our life saver for this adventure.
