Perth!

We flew from Cairns to Perth on a Jet Star flight which easily had the least leg room of any plane we've been on! Not ideal as it was a night flight so Rosie slept on me and Poppy on Laura. We landed in the middle of the night and Rosie had no idea what was happening when we carried her off the plane. However, we were quickly checked into an airport hotel and back to bed.
The next morning we picked up a hire car and after a quick stop at the botanical gardens, headed to see Jacky and Graham, with whom we'd be staying for a few days. They made us feel so welcome and the girls absolutely loved staying there. We day tripped to Rottnest Island which was great fun, beautiful beaches, interesting history and best of all for Rosie we're the quokkas!
Our other cousins; Alan and Wendy kindly hosted a brunch for us on the Sunday which was great. It was really nice to be surrounded by family and the food and location were amazing too.
Perth far surpassed our expectations with great beaches, parks everywhere, tree lined streets and lots of nature.
After a few days enjoying Perth, we headed to Dunsborough where we are staying at Alan and Wendy's holiday apartment. It is absolutely amazing and we feel so lucky to be here. There is so much to see and do and we have seen amazing things like surfing dolphins and humpback whales. The plan is to spend a good chunk of time here to recharge our batteries before doing the Gibb River Road. We couldn't think of a better place to do this.Read more
