We had a wonderful two weeks in beautiful Perth, on the southwest coast of Australia.
The weather was delightfully warm and sunny with only a day and a half of rain.
We basically went over for a hockey tournament - watching, not playing...lol - and the team in which Sara plays finished third, behind Western Australia and Queensland, and ahead of New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Northern Territory.
During our match-free days we drove south to Bussellton, visited Araluen Botanic Gardens, saw 'Miss Saigon', took the ferry to Fremantle and back, visited Kings Park - once with friends whom I've been longing to meet for about a year - took lots of photos and generally roamed around and had a good time. We even went into the city to shop one day but I got sick of that even before the shops opened...lol.
I will post a few more photos over the next couple of weeks.

The reason for our trip - ACT team warming up before the match.
ACT playing NSW. That's Sara running towards No. 13.

That sounds great..your holiday! So we'll see then a lot of wonderful pictures of unknown places (and Botanic Gardens), I guess. Have a good time,

Some times I wish I kept up with playing hockey... love Perth... very laid back city... take care
I'm glad you had such a wonderful holiday, Alice.
You were sorely missed and it's great to have you back.
I'm looking forward to lots of photos of the Araluen Botanic Gardens and other scenic places. It'll be fun to see a bit of WA, since I haven't been there.
Congratulations to Sara's team!
Welcome back, sounds like a lovely holiday.
Take care, Meow
What a delight it was too, meeting and spending several hours with you and Richard!
We're friends for life now, Alice...
...and soulmates in our love for DH!
