Well......

Lunch was good

, camera has died

but we bit the bullet and got a real flash harry one with a gps in it even

so we should be right now. It sounds like we could have company for a wee while tomorrow which should be good, a little local knowledge always helps.
Even saw a murder of crows today

Padmie.... at least the plants are gettng watered

OI !! you keep your droid out of my undie draw and out of my bedroom too

Yes, we are riding from Perth to Melbourne over the next 16 days, the route isn't set in stone, we have an aunty of Allisons to see in Warnambool and thats about it.The bike is a 1200gs so I wont be going anywhere to gnarly as it'll be fairly well loaded and it'll get a bit spendy if it gets damaged.

Anyway....I'll start a proper writup now as there is a guy loading bricks onto a truck just downstairs and it's 5:30 am, I'm still adjusting to the time diff aswell

Well.... after what would possibly be the longest 7 3/4 hrs of my life, we flew to Perth, W.A. Things had changed a bit since I last flew across the ditch, back then you had a colouring book and could listen to music through a stethoscope type thing

This time even with the movies and music and games it was still a long flight

Here's the view from the plane.....

Anyway, we had a day to kill in Perth yesterday so took an unguided walking tour, MrsJ was navigating

so it was a longish stroll, Perth seems to be a real nice city, lots of park areas which are very tidy and well laid out, also an interesting mix of old and new buildings, I actually quite like it, except for the beggars, that has been a new experience

and here's a bell tower down by the river

And a tree

where's wally ?

After lunch with SimonM from ADVRider we wandered around the CBD a bit more,just checking stuff out. MrsJ can't get down to some serious shopping till we get to Melb.
Anyway... the truck and little digger has gone now and been replaced by a bloody jack hammer

FFS it's half 6 in the morning
Heading off in a couple of hours to pick up the bike and load up before ging to Waroona to catch up with another ADVRider and pick up a vital part for my Big

with a bit of luck SimonM will join us and lead the way out of town.

Cyew later
