Perth Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Hello all - thanks for al those that have logged in and for those that visited us at the Rotary Park in Wanneroo today. Was nice seeing you all and what perfect weather for it. Also great for wearing out kids and making an easy night to put them to sleep. Jeremy is busy fitting the accessories to the roof rack and working out what and where to s...

Welcome to Perth! Before I launch into my daily travel recap, let me first say that I was reading over my first entry and realize that I should probably try and keep things a bit shorter, so hopefully from here on out I can limit myself to something that's more manageable, both for readers and for myself. Well, maybe after today's entry, since m...

Well, despite the draw of playing full contact rugby at Cottelsoe, I managed to resist and still have full function in my arms and legs. I was sorely tempted to have a run around, but think for now I'lls tick to touch and the running program I'm trying to keep up with. Keep having problems with my right calf at the moment and it doesn't seem to ...

Perth Happenings 21 January 2008 We explore Kings Park for a full 12 hour day. This place was amazing we arrived shortly after 10am and arrived shortly after 10pm. This park is a 404ha bushland reserve with landscaped gardens, walkways, lakes, a war memorial, childrens playgrounds, open air cinema and excellent views over the city and the Swan R...

Well what a blooming marvelous Christmas we have just had! I guess we haven't had the usual hectic run up to the main event since we are here on our own. Cards and pressie's were posted to family and friends back in England in November; we bought each other a few bits and have decided to spend the rest on sorting out the house. I know I've said ...

After last years Cambodian Christmas, we had high hopes for a MUCH more festive feeling in Australia. Alas, this was not to be. The bah humbug nature of Western Australians was, frankly, shocking! Never again will I complain about being bombarded with Christmas tunes in mid October, christmas trees on sale before Halloween, or turkey on the menu...

Hello all, well It's our last day in Perth & none of the internet cafe's are working properly so I'm unable to upload my photo's :-( Anyway we've had some lovely days of weather, Wednesday, we did boring stuff like open an Aussie bank account, we opened it with Westpac, there were very helpfull and friendly & only took an hour to open. W...

I was debating whether or not to create a new travel log about our new life here in Perth but figure you lot have enough problems trying to keep up with this one so will just keep adding to this if and when we do anything half exciting. So we have 3 sleeps to go till we move into our new home and are now counting down the hours till then. Tonigh...

AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA While i was excited about Australasia it was with some regret that i finally left Africa. In the end i was totally engrossed in the gritty day to day adventure of the place even accepting that South Africa was considerably more developed than Mozambique or Zimbabwe. My sense of regret was exacerbated by my poor luck on airpla...

06-05-04 Sunny Perth. The sunniest city in the sunniest state in Australia. This area is famous for its wine production, so I booked a tour to the Swan Valley vineyards. $65 dollars for 6 hours of wine tasting. Picked up at your door and dropped off at the pub. Bargain. The wine was really excellent. I even bought a bottle at the last vineyard. ...
