After the perfect weather yesterday, it is now much cooler, raining and windy again. It’s not a problem today as we went to Sci Tech. It was very good and there were so many things to play with the only downside was too many kids on excursion. Matt, Zach & I also watched a Star presentation in the Planetarium room. It is the best movie theatre we have ever been in. The screen was a large dome that wrapped around more than 180 degrees and went over our h...

Matt and I took the bikes up to the DNA tower which has some views over Perth. Nice enough but views were restricted by qui...
