Governor Robinsons Perth

... there is a
$500 fine if caught. We jumped off at the nearest station which took notes, when looking back at the train the transport
police were in the next carriage down to where we had been! Close call!!

We left Perth on the 23rd, have had a lovely time and have been blessed with 2 great first roommates. The hostel was
quite a big one and it was quite hard to get to know people, so having Ben and Shelly in our room was a bonus.
