Go West

Well, I went West, and this is how it was: big, flat and empty. For 2800 km over 5 days of driving. There was some nice coastal cliff scenery along the way



And we saw some camels


Plus a whale



Further on down the road, we stopped in at beautiful Esperence for a swim



And then it was onwards to the Hippo's Yawn (that's me about to meet my demise)


And Wave Rock (Adam's on the left, and just to his right is Kai, our temporary travel companion)



We got into Perth for New Year's Eve, where we're staying at Adam's neighbour's brother's place. Gerard and Jane are really great and we've had a really great time at their place. They have this fantastic solar hearted pool, and their place is a 2 minute walk from the beach, which is absurdly warm.



Yesterday, we spent the day in nearby Fremantle just wandering around. It's a cool old town with lots of small shops and old, dilapidated buildings.


Also, they have this big cold war submarine.


Today, we're headed into the big city to look for some work.

Until next time, stay cool Canada.

Camels? Awesome.
That "wave rock" is so cool, do you know how it was made?

I can totally hear you exclaiming "JESUS!" in your Christianesque way in the Hippo's Yawn picture...
