A trip to Pemberton and we arrive at the amazing Tingle Tree Forrest. It is basically a suspension bridge constructed among the tops of some very large and very old trees. It was a bit weird being among the tree tops, a place where you would never normally get a perspective on life from. [View Full Entry]

Yippee!! - On the road again and it feels fantastic, FREEDOM!! After a pleasent four hour drive from Perth to Albany we arrived late afternoon and checked in to our first hostel for four months. The hostel was homely and we met some great people that we'll keep in touch with throught this trip. It's bloody cold down here, apparently there's nothing seperating us from the Antartic so that might explain it. We were originally planning to spend 3 nights here but after our first night, and realising how much there was to see we bumped it up to 4 nights [View Full Entry]

Well, we have finally finished work and are about to hit the road again. I enjoyed working at Rolls-Royce Marine and will miss all the great people I met there and Andrew will miss the 'footy' chat at his work in Fremantle Hospital (now he only has me to chat to for a while - poor bastard!) We are really excited about getting into travelling again after replenishing our bank accounts a little. I will miss driving Frank's car to and from work every day. Initially I was a bit nervous about driving such a big automatic car and in a [View Full Entry]

We spent a day at Caversham Wildlife park at the weekend, it was great, it's in the middle of Whiteman Park, about 30KM's North of the city. It houses all different species of Australian animals in a natural surrounding, there aren't many fences (apart from the main one around the park) and most of the animals are free to roam about and that. There's loads to see and you're allowed to interact with the animals, feeding them, racing them, challenging them to jumping competitions etc. We see loads of different things, Cassowary, Lorikeets, Flying Foxes, Koalas, Quokka, Wallabies, Waller [View Full Entry]

We (I) were (was) getting excited about the cup final and wanted nothing more to go and kick a ball about the park and pretend I was Dave Narey, Andy Gray, Craig Brewster, Davey Dodds and Ralph Milne rolled into one, Fiona was excited by the prospect as she's never kicked a ball in anger before, and what better teacher than the 2000 European University Championship (joint) top scorer? And the scorer of the most amazing goal the Gussie Park has ever seen, some swear it was from in my own half, with my back to goal, against the wind, with [View Full Entry]

I’ve completed my longest Australian employment history to date, one full week and I’m still here, quite an achievement for my good self. I’m working as an IT technician in a hospital; it’s a real interesting job, fixing things that go bad in the hospital, not operations and that, just computer related stuff. This could be from a simple problem like a printer isn’t working properly, or a PC is running real slow to a complicated issue like the screen that we’re monitoring this boy’s life on has gone down or the camera we’re using for this [View Full Entry]

Well I started my fifth, yes fifth, job on Monday working as an IT technician in a hospital, finally something that I can do! Let me take you on a wander through my oh so brief Australian working history. When we landed in Perth we sent our CV's out to loads of agencies hoping to get temporary work. We knew it would be far easier to get work in the hospitality trade but we wanted to try and get Mon-Fri, 9-5 first so we could still enjoy our weekends together. So we sent out our CV's and I got a couple [View Full Entry]

Well it’s been a while since I’ve written in here, so what’s been going on I here you ask? We moved in to a nice apartment in South Perth, it’s across the water from the city but it only takes seven minutes on the ferry or 10 minutes by bus from outside our door. South Perth is a nice spot, a leafy suburb with loads of mega expensive apartments and condo type affairs, there’s loads of restaurants, three pubs and loads of wee café’s and trendy coffee shops. I’ve worked in most of these places but that’s another thread entirely…&helli [View Full Entry]

tie me Kangaroo down. I've not much to add to these photo's, there primarily for my goddaughter Rebekah, newphews Ross, Callum, Connor and Cameron, but feel free to enjoy them. These were taken from Frank and Lara's house up in the country, it's about an hour away from Perth but like an other world, it's amazing, nothing around, about 5 houses share 50 acres of land and there's plenty of 'bush' surrounding all the plots. I spotted these 'Roo's about 4pm on Saturday, there was about 40 of them, they only come out to feed around sunrise and sunset and we [View Full Entry]

This is more what I'm used to, partisan atmosphere, hostile crowd, there's no love lost between these cross-town rivals. As I mentioned in the last post both these teams play at the Subiaco Oval which is in the trendy East Side of Perth, it's a real nice area with loads of bars, restaurants, boutiques, whatever tickles your fancy can be found in Subi really. The Eagles are based here, it's where they train, have offices etc, it's really there home ground in my book but it's owned by the council, the Dockers play there home games here but train down in [View Full Entry]
