One of the biggest surprises this trip has been my visit to Perth. This wasn’t part of my original itinerary… My cousin Roger kindly organised it for me to visit his home in Perth. It was fantastic! I got to meet the rest of the family and just had a great time all round. Yeah!

I travelled from Melbourne to Sydney and then to Perth. Now… let me tell you that Australia is one hell of a big place!!! It covers 3 time zones from one end to the other and takes 4.5 hours by jet aircraft. When you actually do the trip, you realise how big the country is. I’ve since calculated how many UKs can fit into Australia (using the BBC News country profiles data – link), the UK could fit into Australia 31.8 times!! Just Western Australia on its own could fit the UK nearly 10.5 times! Yes… this is one big country!

I discovered that my cousin Roger makes his own home brew beer! At first I couldn’t believe it! It was so good… I made sure that I had a few bottles while I could 😉 hehehehe

I took a few photos of the dogs while I was there. This was harder than I initially thought. I’ve not done much pet photography.
