HOME BY EASTER? AND RATS NESTS

Latest news on home front is that work starts 7th March and new kitchen and lounge may be completed to enable us to at least camp out by Easter.  So project moving on slowly but surely.

PERTH TO ROTTNEST AND BACK

A few days in Perth with a great concert by Josh Pyke, excellent Aussie musician and next night at Perth's Fringe festival.  Rival to Edinburgh with 500 acts at loads of pop up venues with stacks of bars and cafes - difference being all in warmth of a Perth summer.

Had to reprise photo from 2007 - ashamed to say that have same pink top with me, but didn't have it on for 2016!  Also beard and no beard!

Then on to Rottnest island, a short ferry ride away, for 3 days cycling and walking the many tracks and trails.  Surrounded by reefs,turquoise seas and sun - the ultimate island for play with no cars.

 

Rottnest name originates from Dutch explorer who thought these were rats ie. rats nest island ,- I still think they are but Graham and Niki insist they are cute marsupials!

You decide!

Saw this fabulous moonrise over the city centre of Perth from our chalet one night.  A fitting end to another great trip.

Now back in Perth and wilting in the high 30's - may not be much else to post over the next few days to Tuesday, when we wend our merry way home - or not as the case may be!!  

See some of you at Rose Cottage or later on at Raven Hill - transformed we hope to new living quarters.

THANKS FOR READING SO FAR!

AND EVEN MORE THANKS TO NIKI FOR THE CAR, THE HOUSE, THE COMPANY AND THE EXPERIENCES.
