Stopping to watch the footy...

...took some time out of our day. So, we only made it to Mandurah. After a quick stop over and an Irish pub meal, we've finally made it to Perth.

Kings Park - Perth, W.A.
Staying in a caravan park in Fremantle, we are close to the beach and with easy access to central Perth. With a short drive today, we were able to set up camp and then go north to see Matt's old stomping grounds. First stop, a drive by of Matt's unit where he lived back in 1997-1999. This was Maize's first home! Located in the nice, beach side suburb of Scarborough, the unit looks like it is still a rental. Then, a wander past a unit which he bought in 2002 that he turned around and sold in order to move back to Melbourne and go back to school.
On our second day we went shopping for a new swimsuit. Our adventures to the north hold promise of plenty of water based activities! Then, once one was obtained, we went to City Beach to test it. :-)  have no fear, it worked! The waves were aggressive dumping waves a little intimidating for me.

My feet - Indian Ocean, Perth, W.A.
We went no deeper then our knees and just watched with  fascination as the waves came crashing in and some were so strong that they went backwards! Perth is a beautiful city. Very clean and tidy and some MASSIVE houses looking out to the west!
