48h in WA

48h in WA

Lets be honest, we probably wouldn't have had Perth (or any of Western Australia) on our itinerary if it wasn't for the direct Heathrow to Perth Qantas flight.

That would have been a real shame — Perth is great!

"The Island"

Perth gets 3,200 hours of sun a year — an average of more than 8 hours a day!

There's great food and drink too. Just round the corner from our hotel was La Veen which was so good we went back again!

Shakshuka at La Veen

On Monday, rather than the grind of the commute, we went North — up the Indian Ocean coast of WA.

We went to Caversham Wildlife Park:

Dobby the koala

Will made some new friends...

We had lunch at a vineyard on the Swan River;

Mandoon Wine Estate
Us and the Swan River

Went up to the Pinnacles at the Nambung National Park;

"The Cathedral"

And finally went sandboarding in Lancelin:

In short — WA is great, and there's far more we could have done if we were here for longer!
