The WA version of Wet n Wild (Qld) is Adventure World at Bibra Lakes. A great day out provided that you get good weather. We watched the weather forecast and chose to go on the hottest day that we would get in Perth....and just our luck it was a Sunday when 10,000 other families went as well.

Like WnW, the lines at Adventure World were long. To be fair though, they were only really long for the half dozen popular rides that adults were likely to use. The kids ones turned over quite quickly. There was an enormous water adventure playground right in the middle (reminded me very much of the one on Darwin we visited) and a smaller one for the littlies. Pleasingly, there was a whole section that was set up for smaller kids, so Bella was able to have a heap of rides and not miss out. This is the main reason that we are delaying a trip to Surfers Paradise to the theme parks because of the height of the kids and the fact that potentially three of them won't be able to do very much (plus, mum or dad would have to stand around with them).

| Mark and Tom on the "Tunnel of Terror"...a very long (?) and enclosed water tunnel. You loose perspective of where you are and it is a bit frightening! |

The price to get in seems quite steep, but once in everything but food is free. That's good, because trust me, there is little room in your togs to hold a purse! Well mine anyway...they are flat out holding ME in!!
Oh.... and a bit of good news that I forgot to mention. Yesterday when we arrived on Rottnest, Mark received a phone call from the caravan park in Kalgoorlie. They found our purple swimming bag. With EVERYTHING still in it! OMG.....I was so happy. The gold chain and diamond heart pendant were still in there as well. Apparently, a washing machine broke down and when they pulled it out to service it, lo and behold, here was the bag. The lady at the caravan park recognised it immediately from my description when we left the other day and got straight on the phone. She said she would post it home and not to worry about backtracking to pick it up. How lovely? So even though we were robbed and it might not sound like a great place to stay, I can certainly recommend the park based on the owners concern and help.
