Hey all....
Sorry for the complete lack of journal entried lately but we've discovered oz is expensive to use the internet so we have to limit our time!
Spent the last 5 days in Perth. Its a really lovely, clean and very large city. Infact, it's so large that they don't seem to have enough poeple to fill it and the result is that is always looks deserted.
The first full day in Perth we took a walk up to Kings Park - It's situated right at the top of the city and looks out onto the harbour and cbd. We just chilled there for a few hours and took in the aussie laid back way of life.
The next day we cought a train to a place called Freemante. It was about 30 minutes away on the train and is a large fishing port. We explored the town and took a trip to Freemantle prison. This was built in the 1900's by the convicts themselves and oporated as a fully finctioning prison until 1991.
The next day we took a ferry over to Rottness Island. This is quite a popular aussie tourist destination during there summer so was quite dead when we were there. Your not really aloud to drive cars onto the island and we hired bikes and cycled around the whole thing. It was so much fun and made us feel about 10 again - aswell as being wicked exercise!
On the Island they have small kangeroo-like animalls called quokers which only live on Rottnest. They are so cute and really friendly.
We've taken pictures of everything so check them out!
We have now had to give in and resign ourselves to hostel living and it sucks!
There's no fun in sharing 10 bed dorms with complete strangers but as aus is really expensive we don't have much choice - and its all character building i guess, lol
