Year of the Kangaroo
8th August 2015 So there it is. 12 Months of travelling around and living in Australia. So much done but so so much more still to do. It only feels like yesterday that we arrived off the plane in Perth in search of adventure and (after 7 months in Asia), wine and cheese! What started […]
Reeling in the Year:2014
Today marks one year since we pulled on our rucksacks and said goodbye to Lucy and Martin in Greenwich, London. We boarded the train to Heathrow with a one way ticket to Perth Australia via Delhi, Bangkok and Bali. Our tummies were tumbling, there was mixture of excitement, fear, sadness and nerves inside. Little did […]
North, Miss Teschmacher. Due north!
Our plan was to explore Western Australia before heading East to Melbourne. With the South covered in our last road trip and the Indian Ocean lying to our West there was only one more place to go…. North! As Western Australia is vast the options were limited. A proper vehicle would be expensive and […]
Dodgy Tramps!
We had had a very small taste of life in Fremantle before our road trip south. Luckily we had the opportunity to spend a lot more time there on our way back from York. The main reason was the enormous generosity of Karen’s friend Eilidh who lived there. It was nice to be part of […]
Busselton or Bust!!
Western Australia is massive. To explore it properly we would have to get some wheels. After over 8 months of not driving it was time to get behind the wheel again. We selected Margaret River and the Southwest region of Australia for a road trip. A quick trip to JB Hifi was needed to get […]
A Park fit for the King!
It was such a sunny day we decided to head to the park for a picnic, and relive our Greenwich Summers. There is only one park worth spending the day in, in Perth…. King’s Park. We got off the bus a bit earlier than intended. A chance to walk up Fraser Avenue and take in […]
Street Art of Perth
Karen’s pal Lindsay Cantle has been travelling the world at the same time as us. Part of her blogging efforts is to highlight various Street Art around the globe. She struggled to find some in Eastern Australia. After hearing this John took the camera out and about around Perth and managed to capture some for […]
Home of the Dockers
Our first train since China, but it was a short journey to nearby Fremantle (Freo). We would be meeting Eilidh at 11am. Arriving in Freo we felt like we had been transported back to Greenwich, coffee shops and brunch places full of hipsters. A huge market groaning with good food and handmade delights, and most […]
Do you come from a land down under?
Was one of the questions on our landing card for the flight to Perth!! We had finally made it to the Land of Oz. Of course we had changed our flight date twice 😉 Perth in particular and Western Australia in general would be our first stops for the initial few weeks of our Australian […]
