>The Indian Pacific

>6 weeks in Perth didn’t really materialise. I don’t want to do another tour given so many of my photo’s from Adelaide to Darwin were taken from a bus, and attempts to find people to travel with came to nothing. I could do it alone, but then who do you share those wow moments with, and public transport here in WA isn’t the best. An example would be taking the bus to Albany. First a train to Armadale then the bus to Albany, getting in at 23:55. Not my idea of travelling really, so I’ve decided to take the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney and go explore the blue mountains then possibly head up the east coast to catch up with some friends from the Adelaide to Darwin trip. I leave Sunday morning and arrive Sydney Wednesday – that’s 3 nights 4 days on a train in nothing more than a airline seat.

>Cottesloe

>Spent yesterday in the suburb of Cottesloe, about 15 minutes on the train south of Perth (5 minutes north of Freo). It’s quite a beautiful suburb with some fantastic property. The town itself is small and devoted mostly to boutique stores so my dollars were safe in my wallet on this occassion. The beach is definately one of the best I’ve come across in my somewhat limited travels. Very quiet, but then it was breezy and lying on the beach it felt like being an aged bronzed adonis being sand blasted back to life.

I had intended to stay to watch the Orange disc sink below the turqouise waters of the Indian Ocean, but 10mins before it happened I left, teeth chattering. Still, what I saw was beautiful and I did take a couple of photos : )
