We had a fabulous time catching up with family while in Perth, this time Kate’s parents who had flown over from the Central Coast for a visit. They stayed in a cabin behind our van. The kids came and went from ‘our place’ to ‘Granny and Grandad’s’ with great delight. Georgie just toddled around and tapped on their door whenever she wished…very sweet!
We experienced our first real rain in Perth since the east coast. Initially a novelty this soon become a bit of a drag as we had wet bits everywhere and battled to dry our washing. We headed out whenever it wasn’t too wet. We loved strolling through picturesque Kings Park overlooking Perth and the Swan River. The kids really enjoyed visiting Scitech (a hands-on science exhibition) and discovering several of Perth’s many fantastic playgrounds. We sipped coffees and strolled through famous markets in Fremantle. The kids enjoyed a trip into the city with Granny and Grandad and Tim and Kate relished in a gorgeous dinner out at a winery in the Swan Valley one evening.
We had fun catching up with some old friends from Sydney days now living in Perth. We attended their church where Nigel is one of the pastors. All in all the time with family was just so wonderful, but we were feeling the itch to flee the ‘big smoke’ again. The traffic, noise, crowds and city pace was a little confronting after many months in small towns and often quite remote places.
