Australia. BIG, BOLD, BRASH!
Well, some of it is and some of them are, but that's definitely not the whole picture!
Perth is a lovely city with plenty of green space, a FREE local bus service around town, very friendly locals and only a few bare-footed native Aborigines walking the streets.Result!
As far as cities go then is is a good one and we had lots of fun in King's Park and cycling around Rottnest Island (although what is it with the flies there!!?) and it was great to run ...
right so where were we... oh, actually, by the way, while back in perth for the big day out festival, we've just moved hostels from last night's original underground backpackers to the far more beautiful and charming, wooden floored, high ceilinged, civil backpacker wonder that is governor robinsons... it has to be the best hostel in town... anyway... monkey mia... i think we were just touching down in monkey mia, in the shark bay heritage reserve, a bloody long way away, or so the carved up ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia vickz_2onwards and upwards... the drive from carnarvon to coral bay... upon finally leaving carnarvon, we first made our way to 'the blowholes', a short detour off from the main road to coral bay. these holes, which blow water from them - obviously - work by the water of the sea flowing through underwater caves in the cliff face and literally being pushed up through the holes, way up into the sky, which produce an amazing sight, but due to the randomness that they occur and the way that one minute t...

... 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.
... amp; you get panoramic views of Perth. It had been a while – well a few days since we had seen so much greenery, we loved it! The park is lovely & they had opened a new walkway, which was nice.
We read about John forest national park, & wanted to see the waterfalls that were there.
I had a little lord of the rings moment, you know that moment when the ring leaves Frodo’s hand & falls in to Mount Doom ...
... I fell asleep and when I woke up it was 7am! The phone still hadn’t rung and was a little concerned as to what was happening but at 7:30 the call came to go down.
I walked into the ships office and was greeted by a female customs officer who instead of being the usual straight faced, straight talking customs officer was actually very friendly and nice. I filled out my arrivals card in which time a second male customs officer arrived. Whilst filling ...
... the rain was provided in the fishing boat harbour, courtesy of the Little Creatures micro-brewery – at last decent, extremely tasty, beer – both the Roger's Amber and Bright Ale. Moving on to the vicinity of the Round Tower, we arrived just in time for the firing of the One O’Clock Gun, Fremantle version. Suitably deafened, we decided to go to see HMAS Ovens submarine, in dry ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia ironinkent... of town being a bit dangerous at night and when we were walking to the train station a group of local youths began following us, I just puffed out my chest and gave them some menacing stares and they quickly backed off, they knew what was good for them, haha. Then as we waited for the train a random aboriginal chap asked, very rudely and aggressively, for a couple of dollars for his train ticket (i.e. drink and smokes), to which we declined, his response being, 'Sorry for ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia robbiedinho... of silverware this season. Beer makes dreams come true, if just for a day. We have been staying with our good friends Janet and Graham who also kindly lent us their car, which enabled us to get around the place. The sun always seems to be out in Perth and it shines as you approach the centre, I think it is because most of the high rises are sheet glass and the relatively still water in the harbour ...
Perth, Western Australia, Australia jamesandjulie... for a couple of minutes and returned to the DVD players as we headed for Badgingarra for Fuel. Apparently though, those in the Pathfinder had other ideas, and stopped in Cataby for a wee break. The Rodeo continued blissfully on until reaching the lonely Shell service station in Badgingarra whereupon the driver remarked "I've lost my wallet!". Oh Joy. Now you must understand that I am not one to loose things like that .. and yet the ...
