John's Around the World Adventure 2005/2006

We then jetted off into the sunset and with it the opposite side of Australia, Perth over on the West Coast. The city of Perth is perched in the middle of nowhere, however felt surprisingly clean, modern and functional, with a fair amount to see and do.

Whilst in Perth I celebrated my 23rd Birthday, yet another excuse to sample the good local nightlife and Strongbow Cider! We also had a true Aussie Barbie with all the trimmings (birthday cake and VB!) at a family friends home, Mick and Lorna.

We were also fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to explore Perth and its wider surroundings with Mick and Lorna who kindly took us to some wonderful beaches (yet again!!!) parks and local attractions. We fed galahs, parrots and even came up close to a wild kangaroo who we had been feeding, a first in Oz!
