Perth Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

This blog is for my friends around the world who ask ne what it is like where I come from, what the camping is like and the stuff I like to do in summer. A place I like and go quite often is Wellington Dam. It is about 30km from Collie in the south west. Collie is a mining town, they mine coal, but we are far enough away to not be bothered and c...

Met the others in Dianella, to re-pack cars and distribute children for the first leg. We'll be away for 8 days, travelling nearly 1400km each way - so the cars have been prepared and the children briefed. We have a Rodeo, a Holden wagon and a Pathfinder with 8 kids and 5 adults. We like to keep our instructions to the children simple - so we ke...

We spent our last evening in Albany Go Karting with Caleb, which he loved & I dont think he took his foot off the accelerator once! Followed by fish & chips at the Squid Shack on the beach. Said our sad farewells Friday morning as the kids went to school & Nicola & Jason also went to school - to work. Our last day spent driving f...

Sat in the back garden this morning for a while before leaving, just enjoying the quiet and the breeze, with Cher (Katherine's cat) purring away on my knees. I think she knew I was leaving so wanted me to have a gift - a nice little collection of cat hair on my trousers and t shirt! Brushed myself off and we said our goodbyes to Gilliann and Tan...

Hey Hey... So i havent added an entry for the past couple of weeks now so i thought i had better. We have moved into our apartment now. Is small but really nice. When we look off the balcony to the left is the WACCA and to the right is the city! We are literally right in the middle really as is like a 5 min walk to the WACCA, 5 min straight ahea...

Back in Perth for a few days to restock and get a couple of things sorted on the van ready for the big trip. As planned we stopped off back in Fremantle - thankfully the sun was shining and we could see why it's such a popular place. Didn't quite time the Sunday session in Cottlesloe (we got back on a Thursday) but spent a lovely afternoon in th...

As we left Singapore early in the morning we at last began to appreciate it - we saw the calm morning begin with people doing Thia Chi on any available open space. Sadly Jon lost his phone and is convinced that Oli was involved but has no proof! We caught the airbus to Perth with mixed emotions we were leaving the exotic and heading for a more w...

This is my day of rest. Meaning that I have not gone with the others to drive to Freemantle, the port that was originally populated when Australia was first discovered. I went for a stroll down the banks of the Swan River. Eventually I found a jetty, where I could hear people and laughing. The source of the noise was a bar called the 'Lucky Shag...

Today we flew into Perth in the early afternoon. It was basically a pit stop as we are being picked up for our tour to Exmouth at 7am tomorrow morning. We also had to pop back to the hostel in Freo when we got back as I very cleverly left the sleeping bags there, and we needed to supply our own. It was actually a bit of a blessing as I was able ...

I love Perth! Perth has nearly everything I look for in a city. People are always outside - parks are full of runners and rollerbladers, beaches are stocked full of sunbathers and there is tons of live music being played each night in venues that are open to the outside or have large outdoor areas. We all know how I like each of these things! It...
