City Waters Perth

... nonetheless. Alicia look amazing in her dress, Nate looked very smart and all the girls in the bridal party were in tears through the service. Alicia noticed this and was trying not to cry herself but was not helped when she saw the front rows in tears also. Nate and Alicia personally ushered everyone out of the chapel with hugs and kisses and it was off to the reception.

The reception was held at Indianola Country Club was very smart even with a Christmas Tree ...

... I took Jamie for a bite to eat...watch out Kirsty!!ha ha!! We went to an Asian food court and it was so good to be eating thy olde noodles again. After lunch we had a look round the hostels in the centre of Northbridge which was interesting and then I headed back to the hostel to sleep.

I awoke to 2 missed calls from Glasgow Pete and a message too. I called him back and explained that I could start the next day if it was ...

... wasn’t a great idea looking back now. At 00:55 on the 28th August I had my first sight of the west coast of Australia and by 03:00 we had docked at Fremantle port, however I couldn’t leave the ship and step onto Aussie soil until customs and immigration had cleared me and stamped me into the country. Believing that I would get a phone call to go down to the ships office any time soon I just lay on my bed and waited for the call. At some point during the ...

... into a vibrant yachting & tourist centre.

Perth itself is very tranquil with tree-lined avenues & many parks, the best being Kings Park the world’s largest inner city park (I’m surprised it isn’t a World Heritage site).
We liked the free busses around town & hopped on them to see the museums & sights, one of which was the Bell Tower which houses the bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields, London ...

... started up, not thinking I would go all the way but by then there was a couple of onlookers egging me on, so I did it & was pretty proud of myself! The weather has been perfect the last week or so. We have literally spent the last couple of days slothing around the rock pools here. M and the boys have been having sensational luck fishing, even here. Redfin are what we are having here - J gets out of bed, earlier than ever, gets ...

... line at Lancelin we didn't even consider it's potential for road noise., Funnily enough it was the garbo and not the early morning traffic that woke us next morning, with his loud, snide remarks about us cheap-skate travellers! Next day we drove into Guilderton, where the Moore river meets the Indian Ocean. Sara recommended the area to us having holidayed there as a child and it was the sole reason we chose to go - It was lovely, just as she ...

... Traveler tour company and we got all that and more. Nullarbor is bad Latin for no trees and as with many things in Oz it isn't what it appears. The Nullarbor section only constitutes about 40km of the road trip for a start, go figure. And there is the odd tree as well and people have dressed them. There is a kitchen tree, where people have hung up everything from toasters to rubber gloves, there is a bra tree and one that was started ...

I can hardly believe that I'm on the eve of another trip already! Who would've thought that these past 12 months would've ended up like this? I've managed several overseas and domestic trips in such a short space. I don't know what I'll do with myself after this, I guess I'm making up for the inevitable slow-down in personal travel that I will experience when I enter the real world after this, my final year, of university. All that said (or ...

... in the Barossa Valley near Adelaide.

We're cramming a lot into our month here (possibly too much!) and we're trying to hook up with lots of friends as we make our way around, so it should be a pretty intense November!

Bring it on!!! ;)


Lots of love,


Al & Katie xx
