Perth

Whilst in Adelaide, we took the opportunity to fly to Perth for 2 days to see Haydn's Aunty Betty who at 87, was recently hospitalized. We stayed in Alexander Heights with Haydn's cousin Josephine and her husband Jo and caught up with some of his family and friends.
Haydn lived in Perth from when he was 18months old, and his family arrived by ship from England, until he was 24. Haydn's mother and father, and his father's two brothers and wives, all emigrated to Australia. I had only been to Perth once before, with Haydn in summer, early in 1990. Perth had obviously changed and grown considerably.
It was great to see Aunty Betty, cousins and their children and grandchildren as well as friends, Rex and Mary. Although it was a short trip, we really appreciated how welcomed we felt and the time we were able to spend catching up and sharing memories of "the good old days".Read more
