Day Thirty-five: - Busselton - Bunbury - Mandurah - Fremantle - BREAKDOWN! - Applecross Following yesterday's pleasant (and forbidden) discovery of Busselton I decided to press on in the same vein, stopping en-route at more of the summery bayside attractions that make up the south-west coast, the same ones, incidentally, that had been recommende...

There's nothing like travelling in an overhead luggage compartment - especially when there's turbulance. We arrived in Perth. We went to a hotel. There was no Bweoff. We got to know each other. There's Greg, a 2 year old bear of the soft brown variety, who's keeper is Helena back in Sydney. Weenie is a 5 year old halloween pig who lives with me,...

"Kwai-zuh" I attempt, raising my voice a little in battle with the noise from the crowded dim sum restaurant in Perth's Chinatown.

Unfortunetly, I had diet coke for lunch and had to go to the bathroom soooo bad while they were talking to me. Tom and Lois are talkers and they ...

Last night was my first night with my new family. They made me a wonderful dinner and are so easy to talk to. They are very friendly and I think this will be a nice stay. I'm not too sure about their routines so I am just trying to fit in. They eat smaller portions here and I was starved but I didn't want to go rummaging around the pantry on my ...

Hello everyone, on with the pictures! So sorry have been slackass at uploading pictures but Karen's super-dooper camera has got a million mega pixels and it takes around half a day to download one photo! It's worth the wait I promise. From Ayres Rock we flew to Perth to visit Emma, a girl I used to work with in sunny Paisley. Her and her lovely ...

O man... what a start to the west!! First person I meet is a total freakazoid who was convinced I was French due to my South American Spanish t-shirt!! He was convinced that his deliberately shaven eye-brows were cool as they turned women off. Nice guy!! Found out later, that there were beds in that room as people kept vacating them because of h...
