We landed in Perth after a16 hour flight on the Quantas Dreamliner! Terry and Sue were there to meet us at the domestic terminal. Jane and Steve were also there but went to the international terminal and had to come over to the domestic terminal. We had introductions and chatted over cups of coffee. We will meet up with Jane & Steve next week when we travel north to Kalbarri. It was great to be back in Mandurah in th warm sunshine.... read more

Preparation over. Departure time arrived. Ready to Explore and Enjoy. Smiling BIG time. A little about Perth International Airport - There has been significant investment and planning for the future at the Perth Airport. It is envisaged that all commercial air services will operate from one precinct, Airport Central, offering a world-class airport experience. The International Departures has been transformed with expansion and refurbishment that has greatly improved the outbound international customer experience and now offers a far greater range of retail and dining choices, along with improved check-in, outbound immigration and security screening areas.

Jumped in the shower and did my final packing before being dropped off at Perth International Airport. Bought some Duty free and then boarded my Emirates plane leaving at 10:30pm bound for London Heathrow (via Dubai). Of course the only people I told I was coming home were my Mum and Dad so I could be picked up from the airport. Everyone else was in for a shock and I was very proud of myself for keeping it a secret since the flight was booked on the 15th December. ... read more

Hi again, Well, the weather improved so we are able to complete things in Perth. But the first thing to say is that of course we watched the Royal Wedding as did most of Australia - they go nuts for it over here (C: one TV station has shown 40 hours of footage, starting at 9am UK time - and it's stil going on. If I've seen Wills plight his troth once, I've seen it a dozen times. And loved it every time). It's always a little odd watching pixs from somewhere you know well when you are miles away. All seemed to go well, and we went out to celebrate with burger and some live music last night - a 12 piece swing band and lots of locals jiving - excellent. On Thursday we were ... read more
