We have now arrived in Oz (tues). First stop Perth where we are staying at the Billabong Backpackers Hostel. In a four bed dorm with guys who seem ok apart from one being a snorer!
Been trying to see everything in the 3 days that we have been here and have managed to see quite a bit.
Walked round the city of perth and finished in Kings Park which is a park overlooking the river and the whole city we both sat there eating our sarnies while the rest of perth seemed to be exercising around us.
That evening we also went into Northbridge for a night out ended up in somewhere called Mustangs where they had a live band on- great atmosphere.
Spent a day at Cottesloe beach which was very relaxing and not overcrowded in the slightest- although we now have a number of red patches as its so deceiving its really hot but there is quite a strong breeze so you can't feel yourself burning.
Decided to spend the evening at the hostel as there was an all you can eat BBQ (bring your own beer) at the hostel for $9 prawns/steak etc was delicious.
Today our final day in Perth has been spent in Fremantle which is a small port south of Perth, we went round the prison where they sent all the naughty british people and it was pretty spooky. The guide was excellent and we even got to see the Gallows and the cells. Went to the Round House which was right on the sea and they fired a cannon at 1pm so all the ships can check their clock and their route. The little man who pressed the button was very giddy and I think it made his day.
We are picking up our trip at some ungodly hour in the morning so its an early one for us.
