The flights are booked, the accommodation is reserved – all I have to do now is finish the ironing and then we will be packed and ready to fly!
Departure is set for tomorrow evening.
My husband is attending the conference “Africa Down-Under” in Perth next week. If any of you were to think that I would let my husband visit a new destination on this planet without me, think again 
We can’t fly all that way for just 3 days either… that just doesn’t make economic sense 
Before the conference, we shall be hopefully checking out the following:
- Cervantes – Nambung National Park – The Pinnacles
- Shark Bay – playing with dolphins at Monkey Mia – Living fossils (aka stromatolites) at Hamelin Pool
- Kilbarri National Park – Murchison River
- Taking the Prospector train to Kalgoorlie – The Super Pit
Whilst my husband is at the conference itself, I am planning on visiting the King’s Park Botanical Gardens and whatever else I can think of that is within the city of Perth.
We’re also hoping to make a couple of day trips to places like Rottnest Island and Fremantle – but if anyone out there has any suggestions of what to do or where to go – then I’d be more than grateful to hear from you!
I am so jealous! My parents went to Perth and loved it. Looking forward to your next posts!
Thank you Nicole – I am super excited about visiting a new destination! I’m hoping to get a ridiculous number of photographs whilst I am away. I’m also going to try to remember to write things down
lucky you!!
Thanks tinkerbelle – I’ve been wanting to visit Australia for quite some time now. I realise my luck – so I will be trying to make the most of it
Enjoy! I look forward to your photos of the trip
Thank you very much Meanderer
Photos aplenty shall follow!
Have a great trip & take lots of photos!
Hi Lisa, and thank you. I’m really looking forward to this trip! Camera batteries are charging in anticipation of being well-used
I wish I could go with you! I have a few aethernet friends in Perth, two whom I’ve never met, and one I haven’t seen in years. I look forward to your photos!
Hi Lokyra – I’m also hoping to meet up with a couple of university friends who are now living and working in Perth – I also have this strange feeling that I am going to “bump” into people that I know, but just didn’t realise that they were now living in Australia!
I’m looking forward to taking plenty photographs – hopefully I can do some posting whilst we are there
Sounds like you’re bound and determined to have some adventures while you’re there. Awesome!
Cool! Looking forward to the blog posts.
Hi 2summers – I’m also looking forward to posting about the trip
