Perth, most remote city on earth 10 Mar-10 April.

Basil!
His sleek white body is dashed with yellow and maroon stripes. His engine purrs with mechanical enjoyment. His fridge lovingly chills a chardonnay or some classic "stubbies". His sofa chairs and table is the perfect vantage point to enjoy the natural ...
Perfect Perth

Bits and pieces of life

Grey hairs, a few more wrinkles and we have a wii

Technology, a real bed and a joke

Bring on the naked ladies and the cars!
