Out and about in Perth

We went to bed early, and of course got up early, this jet lag is still hitting us (it's now 5.20am, and I'm writing this!)

Spent all our first morning in Kings Park, walking for miles in a park in the city which is so big it looks like you've 'gone bush'. See our online photo album for some pictures of the park, the city and some of the bird life we saw. The weather has been 23 degrees and sunny, not bad for autumn.

We went to the 'Lucky Shag' bar (The shag is a bird!) on the waterfront for lunch. Thanks Sue and Pete for our first proper meal in Aus - Seafood platter.

We've been shopping! bought ourselves bedding etc for when we get to our house on the 1st May. Woolworths are great, they're like Tescos, sell food and everything else you can think of, I think they'll be getting a lot of our business.

Oh we got told to leave a bar! For wearing Thongs! (Flip Flops to us Poms!), they seem to treat these as we treat trainers in bars.

Might have known you'd been thrown out of a bar already, and you've not even been there a week yet. Sounds wonderful. Keep on enjoying it and knock down a can of Fosters for me please. The ducks are fine.

Fosters! We don't drink that sh**, we just export that to you foreigners! I'll chuck a long neck of Tooheys Extra Dry (TEDS) for you - See I'm getting the lingo now!
