Perth Clarky...make sure you do the following while in Perth
1. Go up to King's Park at night and watch the sunset...there's also bbq's up there so you can have food and drinks
2. Visit the Cottesloe and Ocean Beach Hotel on the seafront at Cottesloe...if you get hungry there's a great restaurant called the Blue Duck (the one that does great barramundi) a stroll down the road
3. Eat at Monte Fiore (my friend loves the ribs there, apparently the best in town) in Mt Lawley....and then go next door for a drink in The Queen's
4. Take the ferry to Rottnest and spend a day on the island
5. Travel down to Margaret River and visit awesome vineyards, great waves, good food
6. Go to The Paddington (aka the Paddo) in Mt Hawthorn and select a bear from over 100 they have on offer
7. Have a drink at Little Creatures Brewery in Fremantle and wander along the 'cappucino' strip for some of the best Itallian food - EVER
8. Wander through Subiaco markets on a Sunday and then go for brunch at the Subi Hotel
9. Have dinner at the revolving restaurant - beautiful views of Perth
10. Visit Demark - slightly hippy but very chilled out country town, that has a fantastic beach
Yes, I'm now homesick!
Sculptures & seafood Go check out the sculptures on Cottesloe beach if they're still there. The random floating giant 8 ball is totally surreal, but alongside the 8ft plastic dove I suppose it looks pretty normal. Subiaco is worth a visit for some cafe culture... but it is a bit pricey. Shame you won;t be making it to Sydney for a birthday booze-up. See you when we get back xxx
Hope you're over it for Sydney Did a jump 10 years ago... I think you've convinced me to do it again! Anyway, hope you're back on form for a good night out in Sydney in a couple of weeks!!
are you going to auckland Hey charlotte - i've got a contact in auckland who'll take you out if you're heading back that way - let me know - ps what's your email address?
Barrytown Know what you mean about Barrytown, it sounds like the same experience as us, though we did do the bone carving and then ended up getting quite drunk with the locals down the pub and then sleeping in the campervan in the guys who ran the bone carving's back garden. Very weird experience!
Enjoy the rest of your trip

Hello sweet. You don't change do you? Always getting into one scrape or another. I've just caught up on all your entries in one go - and have been laughing out loud (my team are giving me odd looks). Take good care - and have fun in Queenstown. xx
3rd degree burns? ie. all of Kelly's freckles have joined together to create one super-freckle...cool!
Sounds like you're having a great time, missing out on sooo much here, ooh anything from a bit of snow to me burning myself a little bit on the iron. Exciting times afoot in old Londontown!
Continue to enjoy and get those bloody pics uploaded!
Take care of yourselves 'and each other'

Sounds like you're having a wicked time mate! Bundle of laughs back here too (not!) - lots happening to fill you in on but will have to send you a separate email. Anyway, tell Kell that Natural yoghurt works wonders for third degree burns. Ah bless her - hope she's okay. Love to you both and take care of yourselves. Speak soon xx
Let the peasants know. In light of you travelling the worlds most exotic countries,we shall expect regular updates for those of us who are less fortunate than yourself.
P.S. Lots of photos please.
Happy travelling
Yours the Ward family.
