Quest West End Perth

... her job – with no other prospects in sight ... she had put herself under that prickly "you’re doing what??" look from several people (you know, that look that makes you shrink to about half an inch tall) ... she'd had one or two celebratory beverages and then said tearful au revoirs to her dear, dear friends ... she had even left behind more than half her essential shoe wardrobe (who knew 20 pairs ...

... the Art Gallery, Intrepid Museum, Madame Toussaud Waxworks, shopping in 5th Avenue, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall Street, etc but there was still a lot we missed. By our last day we were quite exhausted. We loved the city and thoroughly enjoyed people watching. There were some very way out fashions etc. People were very friendly and ...

... my eye and I am pretty much rolig aroud on the pavement laughing. The others, not a clue what is wrong with me, ask whats so funny and, unable to get my words out I simply poit to the hostel where Sam is STILL standing!! Dear lord...is this girl crazy?! We walk over to see whats happened to her taxi and she informs us, in a completely uconcerned tone, that is has not yet arrived!! Her flight departs in ONE hour!! Ha ha ha ha!! We tell her to call a cab and inform the ...

... approaching Perth about 20 kms out we still felt like we were in the country.  The GPS led us beautifully to the Discovery Caravan Park at Forrestfield near the airport and we had a good site right at the back next to another Crossroads Cruiser.  On the other side was thi s enormous bus called a Denning.  It was huge!  Steve got talking to Conrad who owned it and it had everything in it.  I can only remember 16 batteries (we have 2).  When the guys ...

... giving up and heading home utterly drenched and cursing the day someone gave me advice to head to Western Australia first.<br><br>Eventually managing to extract ourselves from the house, Carl and I drove to Lancelin, a beachside resort home to mammoth sand dunes which we tumbled over in his 4x4. I was even allowed to take the wheel but I think Carl may have regretted it when we ended up perched on a precipice and ...

<br><br><br> <br> <br> <br> <br><br>Our legs werent sore enough from<br>yesterdays adventure so we did it again &#8211; idiots. We did however<br>manage to stay dry. After our walk/run we headed into the city by<br>bus. We walked around a bit then decided to take Alisons advice and<br>jump on a tour bus. It was a great way to see the city and the<br ...

... really hit home as it was something that we have never experienced in our life time. We stopped in Kalgoorlie after we found a great grocery store. The Woolworths grocery stores are great and we have been using them most of the time. The IGAs are okay for some things but I like Woolworths. Now we are back up and running and found a good spot here in Kalgoorlie for the night. Before we went to the camp ground we went to see the mining pit -- all they mine here is gold. This pit ...

... sia colpendola con un pugno, si puo' correre con la palla in mano ma bisogna farla rimbalzare ogni tanto e i placcaggi sono alquanto feroci, al limite della lotta libera. Nel complesso uno sport decisamente strambo, ma qui in Australia ne vanno tutti pazzi; la partita che ho visto per di piu' era un derby (Fremantle Dockers contro West Coast Eagles) quindi vi lascio immaginare il livello di follia collettiva raggiunto sugli spalti, soprattutto perche' negli ultimi cinque minuti e ...

... the straight roads a lot quicker than excepted. We drove on and got to services about 20km away from the airport got something to eat and re-packed our bags properly ready for the flight. Having had a brief break we got to the airport early and dropped the car off in its designated space and realised that there was no-one around to check in with. Leaving the car and taking the keys we headed into departures and checked our bags, the airport is very ...

... another man saying he'd need a taxi to the IBIS in Perth. Hey, we're going there too, we piped up. Ended up sharing a taxi with a german couple, and were back at the hotel before 4.30! Back to SA. Another long wait - about 40 minutes. Not sure why, think we had a very new agent, and she was not very efficient. But anyways, got our new tickets and no mention was made of any monies owing. Was 5.15 by the time we finally left the SA ...
