Welcome everyone to Australia - I finally arrived at my second stage which leads me through West-Australia, starting at Perth.
Here you can find the overview of the entire trip through Australia for the next 5 months!
The trip until Adelaide - I will do together with my parents (from left Heinz & Greta) and our friend Luigi.
As you already can see this is a road trip which will be quiet exciting for us ;-)
We spend three days in Perth - the capital of West Australia & about 1.5mio inhabitants. Perth is a quiet & relaxed city compared to Sydney and offers you lush parks, shopping malls & harbour cruises.
One of its highlight is the bell tower, which is with its 82m one of the worlds tallest instruments.
The real highlights are a bid outside of the city, along the swan river which is the sea side Fremantle and the 10km off the coast situated holiday escape - rottnest island.
Rottnest offers great beaches with breath taking views, but also breath taking water temperatures just around 20deg brrrr.
It has its name from the cute kangaroo type of animal - called quokka. Once the british sailor thought this are giant rats so they called the island rat-nest ;-)
Fremantle is a nice beachfront town with a lot of history, thus old houses, prisons and of course endless cafes & restaurants.
It is great to sit back in one of the street bars and just watch the people around who are a highlight themself ;-)
During easter there was also the Austin car gathering in Perth where you could see nice oldtimers all around you.
At the end of such day you just lay back - take a beer and relax.

Just do it the australian way: NO WORRIES!
During the entire trip we will leave in our campervans - my parents in our own car "Jaquline". Guess why, she is not good on speed ;-)

It`s time for me to head up in there and wish you all a good sleep!
Dream of the southern cross...Heading North
