September 2012 So we have been in Australia for over a month now, it has gone really fast! Perth is the capital and largest city of WA. It is the fourth most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 1.74 million living in the Perth metropolitan area. Part of the South West Land Division of WA, the majority of the metropolitan area of Perth is located on the Swan Coastal Plain, a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp, a l...

I won't be updating the blog as often as I have been, but I will still be keeping some sort of diary be it weekly or monthly I am unsure still! Friday 17th - Friday 24th August We have arrived in Perth, on first impressions, its FREEZING! Ok maybe not to UK standards but it is cold compared to Asia.

Saturday 11th August We did our usual routine before leaving for the bus stop where our bus arrived on time and left only 15 minutes late.

Why can't the buses be like this all ...
