Exploring Perth with Mike and Tash

Sunday 29th May
I met up with Mike, Tash and Mikayla at the Fremantle markets today.
Paul picked us up and took us on a tour of Perth. We went up the coast checking out the beaches along the way.

Then turned inland at Trigg Point and went up into the hills. We went to Mandering Wier, this is a big dam that supplies the water for Kalgoorlie, it is pumped 600km to Kalgoorlie along a pipe. We walked thru the bush looking for the dam, Tash and I are sure Paul was lost but wouldn't admit it. When we got to the bottom of the hill the dam was dry!!! No water..... not sure if I want to go to Kalgoorlie because it looks to me like they are gonna run out of water very soon.

Then we found this awesome little pub up in the hills, so we spent the rest of the afternoon there. In the evening the wild kangaroos came to graze on the lawn. They were right next to where we were sitting, Mikayla thought they were great.

Then it was back into Perth to Mike and Tash's motel to check out their new van. They are gearing up ready to head out on the road tomorrow. They are headed north to Geraldton and then who knows from there.

An awesome day, spent with people from Houhora ...... so many miles from home.
