On our final day in the North of Perth and the sun was out again so we planned a tour of 3 coastal locations by driving up the signposted “tourist route” which is 22km of road winding up the coastline. Click here to read more

Our destination today was the lovely Kings Park, a National Park up on the hilltop looking down over the city of Perth. Click here to read more
6 years ago when we were here (before Alexander was born) we had stayed in Perth and had met up with our Grans, partners brother, and wife. Today we went for brunch and a catch up. Dad always says although the world is a large place, he loves the fact that we are able to see people we have met before almost wherever we go. Lovely food, drink and chat, we even borrowed some DVDs as it gets dark in Perth at 6 pm each day so it’ll give us some things to watch while Mum and Dad worked in the evening.

Today we set off to find some more wild Kangaroos so we went exploring at Yanchep national park. A beautiful large park with flowers, trees, water, caves, tea rooms, and a high wire experience. Entrance fee per car for up to 8 people of $15.00. Click here to read more
Another lazy morning as we went to bed later last night and once the washing was done the sun was out so we packed up and off we went. Mum and Dad have told us many times about barbequing in the local parks which we have seen loads of. Today we set out to find the place we stayed in back in 2015 when we first came here, we failed to find it first of all and then drove past park after park which didn’t have BBQ’s much to Mum and Dad’s dismay.

Adam and Dad awoke first, after laying in, and disappeared out to get some breakfast for us all and some essentials for our week in this property. We were all cold when we got up as it was only 15 degrees and there is no heating in the property except an aircon unit in the lounge that also blows out warm air. A bit like we don’t have Aircon in the UK for when we have 35 degree heat waves like the UK is having currently! Click here to read more
The plane journey from Dubai to Perth was just over 10 hours, as it was overnight (at least at the time we left) everyone got some sleep. Although Matthew stayed up watching movies until a couple of hours before we landed. Click here to read more
On our fourth and final day in Dubai, we went to breakfast and a swim before finishing off the packing, vacating our room at 12 and storing our luggage at reception to be collected later in the day. Click here to read more
Day 3 in Dubai started again with a nice breakfast and a nice dip in the pool, before we set off (at Adam’s request) to the Burj Khalifa. Adam has been talking about this for the past few weeks wanting to go to the tallest building in the world whilst we were in Dubai (it has 163 floors), as well as seeing the world’s best 7 star hotel the Burj Al Arab (he got pictures of that yesterday). So off we went; back through the hotel, through the Mall, and onto the Metro. We got off at the Dubai Mall stop and back into the mall. Click here to read more
The second day of our trip started off a little later than planned after a layin! We all slept well in 2 different rooms, given the choices of hotels offering 6 people per room versus cost (and Dad’s tightness) anything other than 2 rooms was a no-go. But to be honest the Premier Inn was brilliant (£347.92 for 3 nights x2 rooms including breakfast!). Like in the UK only adults pay for breakfast and the children eat free. Breakfast was very good and there were lots of choices, due to local beliefs I think it’s the first time we have had chicken sausages and beef bacon……not bad. Click here to read more
