Perth
The sun shines every day and the insects bite every night. One of the most remote cities in the world, Perth is confident and elegant, vibrant and friendly. Far from the American or European style seriousness of the East coast; Western Australia has a spirit more akin to New Zealand.
The 2 night train journey from Adelaide was strenuous but fun. Joining me on the train were a Russian film crew, filming a reality TV show about 2 contestants crossing Australia with $200. My hammy pigeon Russian phrases humoured them, but then I was the only non-Russian on the train to know any word other than ‘Babushka’.
Pictures abound in the Perth and Indian Pacific galleries. A few short videos on the way too, if I can ever get them uploaded.
