Perth

Flew to Perth . Spent three weekends with Luce and family and saw Jess and Sam most days. Stayed at an Airbnb with a lovely couple from South Africa, unfortunately it wasn’t the cleanest so although bedroom was clean never felt I could cook in the kitchen.
Unfortunately when we arrived Lucy had got Covid so we met Tracy, Lucy’s pal and met Jess and Sam out of school. Large school, very modern, single story with lots of undercover areas for playtime. Lovely to see them.
Went to outback splash a water park near their home. Just lovely. Their swimming is really coming on.
Over the next few days went to see Sam playing football, visited their local parks and Hillary’s. Difficult to describe. An up market shopping centre with a marina and a beach enclosed away from the open sea. Lovely place, visited a few times. Also visited Mindarire on Paddy’s day. Really interesting people watching
During the week we did a road trip to the North of Perth . Went to Cervantes via Gilberton where we watched the windsurfers. visited the strombolites ,the living rocks on a very saline lake and the Pinnacles National Park. Nice but South of Perth nicer. Then onto Geraldton a reasonable sized town.
Other places we went included Kings park botanical gardens in Perth. Fremantle market which unfortunately was closed when we visited, but been before , Jondalup shopping centre, shopping centre which was massive and Loondalup park (weird names)
Also visited Burns Beach. Think we will try and stay here in one of the cabins next time.Read more
