Great pix.

Perth is a great place.

I had some contracts over there a few years ago. I have great memories of Hillarys, City Beach, Freo and shopping in the arcade just to name a few.

Awesome shots Rob...

The size of this state is incredible when you look at the pic indicating that

When you start thinking of places like Coral Bay North of here...and our gorgeous South West it makes you wonder why all those eastern staters don't visit more often

Come on guys..Get over here

We're off to Penguin Island this week....and also Rottnest....Make the most of it while the sun is still so very very warm

Loved having you and Trish here my friend....and certainly looks like you made the most of it

Thanks for posting

Freo and the beaches are picture perfect Eddie..I'm sure I'll be back for further sightseeing further north and even down south of Perth!

Great pics Rob.

Your right Dalip, why don't more Easterners visit your side of the Country? Beautiful.

It's just a matter of time until I make it over there to watch the sunset on the water

This time round it will be 3 weeks. It's a bit of a holiday and a recon mission - as we are selling up in the UK and hopefully moving out there in a few years time.

Great pics Rob, looks like you and Trish had a blast!

I have yet to make it to Perth, but your travelogue has whet my appetite..

BTW, I winced a little seeing you and Trish sand-surfing wearing your Rolex's... but I suppose that's why we wear them. If we can take it, our Rolex's can too!
