The Richardson Hotel & Spa Perth

... swim in the shallow waters. I then hooked up with Bex & jake again the wekkend after & they took me to their shack on the beach a place called Wedge near lancelin. We had a fab weekend, 4 wheel driving on the beach & sandunes, Quad biking & swimming. Perth is a fantastic place & i will return here again for sure! I then flew to Melbourne to stay with my friend Rachel & we had 2 great weekends away. one was in Anglesea & the other in ...

Well I've been in Perth almost 3 days now, gone so fast im checking out my hostel tomorrow morning and hoping to move into a new one with some people that are arriving room the uk in the afternoon. My room absolutely stank, 8 lads all squashed into a room only slightly larger than my bedroom back home... messy, stuff covering the floor everywhere but the atmosphere was great. Had 2 kiwis in the room called zack and sam, a french dude called roman and two english guys from kent ...

... comments worthy of Stephen Fry, but which were probably, in reality, asinine. Nevertheless, the opportunity soon presented itself for a quick glance to Sara. The synchronicity of what happened next shows our wavelength, as be both, simultaneously said “Jasper Carrott”. We didn’t need to elucidate further, as we both knew each was referring to the “nutter on the bus sketch”. I suppose thirty-two years of marriage does ...

... out though so it was glorious and it has been ever since. Sun still going down at 5.30 though (WA voted out daylight saving last year-Why Oh Why!?). However- armed with the knowledge that I had more work this week I was too scared to go and do anything which involved spending any money so we had a bbq and said adios to Craig and some other lads going to work on some farms. This hostel is getting pretty dead now!
Wednesday night decided to go to Lesbian Mud Wrestling. And it was ...

So after a few more Heinekens (I think thats how a lot of these stories will start), and watching Rock n Rolla (with a much better view than we had when we went the cinema), flight of the conchords, outnumbered (all excellent) and not a lot of sleep (another theme that will soon change!), i landed in sunny Perth.......wait there, i landed at about 5pm Perth time, and it was pitch black and stormy conditions?! I didn't think you got this weather in Australia? oh well I did ...

... the guide Duncan showed us lots of marine life they had in the centre. This guy Duncan was so passionate about the fish it was great, everything he pointed out he told us to spend some time in their company whilst snorkeling coz they were beautiful!  We saw lots of cool stuff including lots of different types of shark including a whale shark which are quite rare except in a few places (WA included). Finally we stopped at Eagles bluff, a look out over the sea ...

... women who died in the two World Wars.

Next day a wonderful family lunch on Easter Sunday, I was made so welcome.

Easter Monday we visited Caversham Wildlife Park at Whiteford Park, a large area of protected bushland in the Swan Valley region we could stroke Kangeroos, Wallabies and Koalas etc, the highlight was seeing a little joey peeping out of his pouch. We actually had rain too, poured down, wish I could have ...

... a bit of a hiccup by accidently booking into the wrong Caravan park. It's a really long story but because we had to do so many advance bookings, due to the holidays, Geoff booked at the wrong caravan park in Freo. When we pulled into the park we were not impressed. No grass sites, no concrete slabs (that info for all the Caravaners) and the park generally not well maintained. We reluctantly ...

... sempre in questa casa, su uno dei divani. Nell'ultimo mese si sono aggiunte anche due nuove inquiline in pianta stabile: Carmen, ragazza tedesca che lavorava con il team Malta a Darwin e Manja, olandese conosciuta da Sarah al lavoro. Come siamo riusciti a vivere per un mese in otto in questa casa, resta un mistero probabilmente spiagabile con il fatto che la casa sara' pure pikey, ma noi lo siamo ancora di piu'. In effetti credo che il mistero piu' grande sia il come questa casa sia ...

... The kids roam in packs between the numerous beaches, pool, movie cinema, WWII tunnels (you would have loved this Tom) and fun park. Macca and Jaxx were in kid heaven. Their first morning they got up super early and sampled the buffet breakfast, followed by a bike ride to the park and a hot chocolate at a cafe and a return to the hotel buffet. All on their own! By midday they had made numerous friends and for the next 4 days had a social ...
