Hi all, Happy Australia Day to everyone - especially if you are Aussie - for yesterday.....what a great day it was. After dropping Georgia off at her Nana's house for a sleep over, Juli, Mark and I went into Perth on the train, carrying our tinnies and a 2 ltr box of wine. The train was amazingly packed and so many people had gone to town with their outfits it was really nice to see. Children had sparkly hats with the Aussie flag on, loads of people had Aussie...

Hey y'all Well Mark, Juli, Georgia and I managed to get to the tree top walk in King's Park, though it was actually just a bridge that was quite high, but lovely. We had a very nice afternoon walking through the park (though my brother nearly got us arrested by taking clippings of plants from there....he's getting old...and like my Nan who actually has plants in her garden that you can only find in Kew Gardens...Mmmmm! Hope this doesn't incriminate anyone, I'll ...

Hi all, Well it has been much quieter since the family have left and Juli and I have watched many, many films - mainly girlie ones, as she doesn't do horror, doh, but girlie's ok too!

I have been out and about a few times, trying to keep a little of the spirit of 'Uncle Travelling Mac' about me (for tho...

Hillary's is really nice and our apartment is on the third floor, so it's nice to sit out on the balcony in the morning s...

Hi all, Not much to add from the other day, as haven't really explored Perth yet, (my sister told me I wasn't allowed to leave the house until she arrived!) other than the shopping malls! Just thought I would let you know about my next injury - I seem to be writing about a new one with each entry now. Well I have had a bite on my back for about 2 weeks, which I think I got in Langkawi, Malaysia, though I couldn't be sure. Anyway since it has been there, it has ...
