Janet and Jason have beautiful home about 5km north of the City of Perth in a place called Woodvale.

After an unadventful flight I arrived in Perth. Where I was picked up by Tracey and her sister. They took me back to their parents house for the night. It was great to see Anne and Brian again as we had met briefly before when they had stayed us in england. The next it was time to get every thing sorted for the appartment we all renting for the week in Scarborough. By the end of the day me and Tracey had everything sorted ready to pick up Mum and kelvin from the airport that evening. The next morning was big chill out and Aunty Barbra came round for Tea and cakes. In the afternoon after picking up Carl from the airport. We took a trip to Kings park for a quick look around before heading ... read more
