Perth, Australia

Monday, June 16th, 2008

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:

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.

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!
