Hi all. Just a quick note this time as we're about to be served lunch at Gil and Christine's house. Gil is June's mum's cousin, and he moved out to Perth after the war with his family. We're staying with his sister Jean, and are really enjoying having a holiday from our holiday! It's really great to be staying somewhere comfortable and welcoming, and we really feel at home here. We went to a barbie yesterday with some good friends of June's who have recently emigrated which was great fun.
We spent Tuesday exploring the centre of Perth - it's a really beautiful city beside a river, overlooked by the gorgeous Kings Park. The roads are a lot quieter than in Vietnam and Cambodia - so much so that we strolled across an empty road even though the lights were red. Unfortunately a car zoomed round the corner and the driver wound down his window and shouted "look at the lights you f**king idiot!" - we were warned that the Aussies were quite "direct"!
We're off to see some kangaroos and koala bears this arvo, then heading off for a week down to the south west in a hire car tomorrow.
OK better go now. Bye all!
