The city of Perth, is smaller than originally expected, you can trot from the west side to the east side within 45 minutes. The people have been great, really overwhelmed by the helpfulness and kind spirited persons we have met so far, however you will always come in to contact with less than reputable souls, who are only in it for themselves...

My name is travel pig, I am a super awesome golden pig who was recently rescued from Lucy.R's handbag, saved from a life of destitution or even worse bacon sandwiches, I now have the pleasure of documenting my owners movements throughout the journey. On the 31st we will be departing from Heathrow at 22:00 hours for the golden coasts of Australia. It's going to be interesting so watch this space as the journey unfolds!
