Fri 1 July
Again another picture perfect cloudless morning!!!!
Yesterday was taken up with the Bull Creek Aviation Museum topped off with a superb meal at their restaurant patronized by resident of the neighboring retirement village.
Then off into Perth CBD to the central I-site to be plied with all the copious tourist publicity for Western Australia. So now all we have to do is decide what to select for our remaining 6 days.
Then home for Peter's afternoon nap before we took off to Gold Class Finding Dory in the local mall. I know!!!! Trust me, there was just nothing else on we could bear.

It is just awesome to wake up to this scenic Swan River , the only ripples on which are the wake of the black swans gliding serenely; a cloudless sky and no leaf stirring in these huge ancient gum trees. It looks to be midsummer but one step out the door onto our private balcony reminds me to put my jacket on.
Yesterday we got a call for Peter to wait for another radio interview before driving out to discover the huge Riverdale Mall block -much the same as all malls but in sections about the size of Albany Mall. Coles offered us produce far beyond our Countdown.
Today we'll explore further afield, knock off Bull Creek, the West Australian aviation museum, Finding Dory (so I know what my grandchildren are talking about) and start finding the must-see tourist attractions.

if you ever want to experience flying at its best, go somewhere by Dreamliner. They say it's the journey not the destination that counts, and I'd go along with that .The plane is just superb.  We had 7 1/2 hours of unequalled flying  to arrive in Perth just as the rains had stopped. The place was under water but not a drop has fallen since. We picked up our Kia automatic and followed the woman in the GPS to get to our Airbnb on the banks of the Swan River. I have put a photo of the view out the glass wall of our unit. In due course we'll Sally forth and discover this city.

Just five more sleeps until we fly away on a Dreamliner to Perth to see what that's like in the middle of winter.
I'll do photos on fb as I did this time last year. Those of you who like the low-down might like to follow it on the blog.  Those who just go for the pikkies can stay with fb.
Next message from Perth.
