March 2nd 2012
It was one of those eyes open, wide awake mornings, where you are instantly aware of your surroundings and the events of the upcoming day. Yep, it only took a split second for me to fully register that this would be the last time I would wake up as a twenty-something. As dramatic as that sounds, I kid you not, this is a big deal for me. I thought the day would be painful, turns out it was, but not in the way I was expecting! Off to work I went, excited about my looming trip to Perth, but having so much to get through before then. I knew we were having a ‘special’ morning tea but I never thought I would experience so much love from the staff/students at school. My wonderful ‘fairy godmother’ made ... read more

The last few days have been the most perfect weather. Never a cloud in the sky. Today I sat by the pool and read a book one of the girls in my room had. I hopped in and out of the pool all day to cool off. The YHA in Perth has a free pool and a gym for it's guests. The pool is really nice and clean. It's so nice to just sit and relax by the pool. Kylie from Southern Cross and a few of the other girls were coming into Perth tonight as their mates Karen and Kenny were getting married the next night.

Perth - after arriving on the 18th we spent the first couple of days trying to sort out accomodation errors - note to self double check reservation/confirmations in advance!! That didn't get in the way of having a good time - we spent a gorgeous day out at Rottnest Island, though the journey getting there was very rough and we both felt very sea sick, we had planned to hire bikes to ride round the island on but surprisingly when we got there all 1500 were being used (we now recommend booking on the web in advance), we still managed to see lots of beaches and coves and swam and sunbathed and had a picnic on the beach. On the Sunday we travelled by train to Freemantle a popular destination just 20minutes out of the city ... read more
