so we wake up the next day and after walking into the city and looking around we decide that it would be a better idea to visit Jayne's brother Graeme in Karratha first and then come back to Perth to do some sight-seeing!

We booked the greyhound bus.. 22hrs ...22 HOURS!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH .that will definately be an experience.. we looked at flights but it was too expensive so that was our only choice.. .

9.30am the following day we jumped aboard the greyhound.. or as people call it 'riding the dog' .. nice...but before we got on we had to witness a grandma beating her child with a stick - they were Aboriginies and there is an obvious cultural difference..yet we wanted to grab the stick and see how she liked it!!! horrid woman!!

so there we were beginning our 22 hr trip.. and guess who was sat opposite us .. of course the abusive grandmother who Lisa wanted to ram the stick where the sun doesnt shine! There were a few movies..some ok..some terrible..two 40 minute stops and a few 5 min stops.. but apart from that we just sat and sat and sat! and waited and waited and waited.. at 11pm most of the passengers got off making room for us to have a seat each..so it was time to try and sleep..

22hrs past and we finally arrived in Karratha.. 7.15am the next day...outside a mcdonalds.. grabbed our bags and called Graeme.. he was at work so Ivy came to collect us.. first thing we noticed!! FLIES!!!! ahhh everywhere .ewwww... we were constantly trying to bat them away from our faces...kind of looked like we were doing a rain dance ..teehee

so lovely to sit on a sofa!! watch a bit of TV and relax.. what a journey! we have 12 nights to enjoy before we jump back on the 'dog'...
