Winter in the City With all these journal entries, you must wonder if I ever do any work. Well, I'd love to tell you all about numerical modelling and writing script in MATLAB, but in my opinion tales of my weekend shenanigans are far more interesting than the 9 'til 5....but, just in case you are interested, I have kindly placed a little memoir of my daily commute to walk in photographs.

I have spent my first two weeks in Perth staying in the Ocean Beach backpackers in Cottesloe, mainly shopping for work clothes, doing some sight seeing, trying to find a home, chillin' with fellow travellers and by the beach.
