I think it’s Wednesday 10th, but we’re already beginning to lose track of time. Can’t believe it’s only just over a week since we left home, we seem to have seen so much already. Kings Park in Perth was fantastic with spectacular views over the city and the Swan River and we had a great day there. We went on a ‘bush walk’ with one of the guides who explained all about the trees and wildflowers. We walked more or less all day - heading back to the ferry through the skyscrapers in the business district rather than getting the bus. Believe it or not it started to rain!! Absolutely whacked by the time we got back - a good job we were picking the car up next day because both ready for a rest! It ... read more

Our next big adventure took us South, as far as we could go. En route we stopped off at The Cidery where they make delicious cider and apple juice from Pink Lady apples, yum!

April 9-13, 2007. Sarah had her week off from studies, and I took a week off work. So where to? Back down south, to an even more beautiful region, one that is still sheltered from the tourism of Margaret River region. We visited Pemberton, Walpole and Denmark. We left Perth Monday morning. It hadn't hit me that we'd be going on a trip, and I had gone to bed without packing. It wasn't that I forgot...I was actually not in much of a traveling mood! But off we went! Our first stop was Serpentine Dam. I hadn't seen this much water inland in Oz, and the area was really pretty. We also visited Serpentine Falls...which must be much more impressive in winter when there's more water to make the falls...but it was relaxing to sit ... read more
