Liina: Perthis maandudes ootas mind külm ja vihmane ilm. Esimene öö hostelis oli raske ja üksik. Päevad aga möödusid ülikiiresti. Raske oli ja on siiani uskuda, et ma olen kuradi Austraalias, lõpuks. Inimesed hostelis ja üldse Austraalias on tohutult sõbralikud ja abivalmid, eriti backpackerid. Kohe laupäeval läksin tööd otsima ning mul läks väga hästi, käisin vaid seitsmes kohas, millest kahes ma nüüd töötan. Sel õhtul sain tuttavaks Jacobiga, musta Aafrikast pärit kutiga, kes tundus väga asjalik ja tore. Esimene mulje on aga väga petlik. Kuigi ma rõhutasin talle, et mind ei huvita mehed, sain siiski pühapäeval sõnumi, et me ikkagi võiksime ühe öö suhet harrastada. Ühesõnaga kutt osutus täielikuks saikoks. Temaga ma rohkem ei suhelnud. Pühapäeval tutvusin Clairega, kes muutis täielikult minu ohutut ja kindlat kolme linna plaani. Tema pani mulle pähe Country Pubi idee. Tegemist ... read more

DAY 177 We have been enjoying our stay in Perth at Cliff and Sue’s home, but all things have to come to and end eventually, I have enjoyed being here very much, but I can again feel myself becoming a slave to it, and we both have started to feel that we should be moving again. You just get in to a flow of putting the trailer up, taking it down, blah blah and the routine has being broken and I am also feeling that we just do not want to outstay our welcome. Our intention today is to get going and break the bounds of Perth and up to the Pinnacles, heading North eventually towards Darwin and Perth to Darwin is over 4000 Kilometers away, so we need get a wiggle on. We had explained ... read more

DAY 175 Another beautiful morning here in Perth, woke up slightly later than usual as we had a late night last night after watching the film and a couple of glasses of wine. It is a little chilly to start with but the days do warm up quite quickly here. This morning after breakfast we all jump in the truck and head off to Anaconda, just another large outdoor store here in Australia, it will make a change from visiting Bunnings and BCF. The roads are busy but the traffic is moving and we pull into the car park with ease. I have been looking forward to visiting this store as a lot of people have mentioned it to us as a good store to buy camping gear or anything for the outdoors as a matter ... read more

DAY 173 It was 7.00 and we were both awake, it is strange that we always wake up at roughly the same time each morning, whether we stay in bed a little longer or not is another matter, but today we are both up, and while Andy goes straight downstairs to make the tea I get myself ready for the day ahead. What a lovely nights sleep we had and it was such a warm night as well, I think we have become accustomed to sleeping snug in our sleeping bags and blankets in the cold night air that surrounds our trailer tent, now we are experiencing 4 walls again it feels a tad too warm, but hey I am not complaining! Downstairs I find Cliff, Sue and Andy outside on the veranda drinking a ... read more

Schoenen guten abend meine damen und herren, nun ist es schon mehr als zwei wochen her, dass ich mich gemeldet, aber es gibt triftige gruende dafuer, denn ein lukas hatte mal wieder viel um die ohren die letzte zeit. ihr denkt wohl, ich wuerde hier nur urlaub machen!??! falsch gedacht freunde. auch in australien gehoeren behoerdengaenge und pflichtveranstaltungen zum tagesprogramm!!=) so, wo waren wir stehen geblieben. ach ja, wir hatten meine lieben kleinen koalas im yanchep NP besucht. schon in mandurah hatten wir uns um einen gastgeber gekuemmert, bei dem wir ein paar tage unterkommen koennten. das klappte durch zufall auch, denn die moeglichkeit zum couchsurfen in perth ist selten, weil hier viele viele backpacker rumtingeln. wir hatten aber glueck und lexie und antony riefen uns dann in rockingham an. war suess, weil wir ihre ersten ... read more
