reflections of our life on the farm and beyond

We've made it...Perth (Day 7)

Phew.  We're here.  And I am so happy.  Perth - and Western Australia - always makes me happy.

We arrived just on dark yesterday and were pleasantly surprised and delighted that our van site backs onto the playground.  I can watch the kids without leaving my chair and possibly spilling my wine.  Good start.

Today we bummed about for much of the morning and after securing a fistful of tourist pamphlets from the front desk, we trawled through some trying to work out what we would do and see.  My memories of the west are not built on events that would be overly suitable for kids.  So I was looking at this city through the eyes of a child and trig to work out what they would like to do.

I couldn't believe it when Tom found a small promo abut a dino display in Kings Park.  So we bundled the kids in the cat and went to see why the fuss was about.  it was fantastic and the surrounds are just stunning.  






The lawns here were manicured to an inch of their lives.  But they we soooooo nice to sit on
