Perth, Australia

I’m not the kind of person who gets homesick, and I don’t really miss much about Perth, but sometimes I catch a smell, miss a taste, or see a photo which really brings it all back:

Perth City - By Night

Perth, Australia by night

And, even in the year since I’ve been gone, Perth seems to have changed a fair bit now.  We now have a fifth, metro train line, which even has a section underground.  Definitely something to check out when in a little under a year when I get home for a holiday.  I’m sure it’ll be an enlightening experience.

Perth Underground Train Station

Just like the 11pm train from Kings Cross

The Things I’d do if I was back in Perth :-

  • See Family/Friends (of course)
  • Drink up a storm at the Queens Hotel in Mt Lawley
  • Eat Twisties
  • Stock up on Aussie red wine, and Coopers Beer
  • Get the best pizza in the world from Il Padrinos (The Pizza King) in Northbridge
  • Take a weekend down south in Margaret River
  • Ride the train

And that’s about it!

Home Sweet Home!

    Oh! Another micro brewery, sweet! I could add Little Creatures to that list as well, as well as possibly a visit to Cottosloe beach, but there's problems with those as well.

    Rosemount!!!

    apparently there's some new micro brewery to check out as well.

    Otherwise, I agree entirely. Although I think I'd trade the Queens in for amplifier, maybe the rosemount and Clancy's down the road from my olds.

    And probably at least one massively overpriced beer down at the raffles.
