Perth, WA

So I left my home for 2 and a half months to come travelling and finish my trip in style! The last week at Meeka, was actually pretty awesome. Maybe that was to do with i was working less and drinking more? Well i was working roughly 4 hours a day, with some mornings off, some evenings off, so gave me plenty of opportunities to have some laughs. I was taken out by a local trucker type guy to the red dirt ( i can just imagine my mom cringing when she's reading this!) so, quickly did my morning duties of cleaning other peoples shit and off we went in his ute, in an unrelated issue i am so getting a ute when i can drive, talk about awesome! anyway we went to see some red dirt, an old well where the first settlers would get the water from, bit random but i thought it was cool. oh and there was a random seagull flying around the outback, thought that was odd, like why??? then alan (the trucker) threw some chips at him and even now like more than 10 years after the seagull in torquay event i screamed into the ute!!!!! i so need counselling for my seagull fear!! oh and i climbed a mini ayers rock, saves me from going now haha. then we went back to the pub and we all got drunk, like really drunk!!! was drinking beer, jacks, bundy and i didnt pay for one drink!!!! thats the good thing about small town aussie guys they like to buy slim(ish), white, foreign backpackers drinks, cant think why?!!!! but was a good night, was a few of us by the time it was closing time and i made a fool out of myself by dancing on the pool table. (was going to be detailed there but realised my mom, dad and nan might read this haha) ......the next day was the eve of my departure and yes i got drunk again, and again i didnt pay for one drink. but i do remember having a food fight in the kitchen, was halarious!!!!

anyway the next day was d day, departure day! so i got up, like a kid on christmas and got on the bus and we went to mount magnet as our first stop and i only bumped into a regular from the pub and so i swapped the stinky bus for his ute!! i so have an obsession over ute's! we drove back and we hung out at his folks place for a few hours, where we all went out for japanese dinner, all paid for by his company haha, then he dropped me at my hostel, wouldnt get that with the bus!

During my time at perth, i went to museums, the fremantle prison (which was awesome, so interesting for a geek like me!) felt like i was in chicago or shawshank redemption. when we was walking the corridor where the cells where, i just wanted to belt out "if you'd have seen it, if you'd have been there you would have done the same!" except that it was a mens prison not the only female prison where there is a hair and makeup department. looked round the parks etc. If im being honest i have found perth to be the most boring city so far. i think i prefer the smaller places, i think once you have seen the main sites to a city, not a lot to do really. It also doesnt help that im staying in a really bad hostel, serves me right for being so cheap. bad showers, bad mattress, too noisy, people are clicky so yeh bad hostel. but leaving for cairns on tuesday, where i will be going to cape tribulation, snorkelling, white water rafting, hot air ballooning, going on some hikes, inbetween hanging about on the lagoon. Going to get my tan on, hopefully the wet season should have ended by now, fingers crossed!!!!!
