Perth

View of the City from Kings Park

It's May 1st and we are still in Perth. We're still staying with Blair, Leah and Todd, but plan to move on on Thursday. Blair flies in tonight after his week out at the mine-also his last shift with this company as he starts at a new mine next week. Chris and Carly who are also staying here move Wedensday to their new house, so we want to be around to help them move, then we are off to Jurien Bay or Dongara (both South of Geraldton)

We've had a great time here. Last Thursday we went for a long walk around the beautiful Kings Park which overlooks the city, Friday we went to a boat show at Femantle, Saturday Todd and Russ went out on a fishing charter from Fremantle. I figure the one fish Todd caught had to be worth $300 cos that's what it cost them to go! Yesterday (Sunday)after Russ Carly and I went to the market we went to Mandurah with Leah for her father's birthday.

The weather has mostly been great-clear days and cooler nights-just how you imagine Autumn should be. It is getting colder though so a move up North will be nice.

We rang a real estate agent this morning and about November, we should be able to get a furnished 2 br flat in Wembley (very convenient location to kids and city) for about $175pw between November and January. The flats are usually let to uni students so there are plenty of vacancies over school hols. My ex lives in Perth and has room to store the van for us. It's a great solution to expensive and kid filled caravan parks over the summer.
