Hey guys, made it!

Arrived in Perth yesterday afternoon to a pretty intense storm that's been blowing all night! Not overly cold but feckin windy!

Only spotted one HSV so far a series 3 GTS, plenty of Holden's though and a few of those were Gen F's.

I've got a :cough: VW Passat Touring :cough: as a hire car for the week, it's alright actually, pretty nippy and fully loaded with leather and touch screen sat nav etc, it's no HSV though!

I saw the post about your weekend at the F1, pleased you all had a great time! Missed the race entirely! Not much chance of catch up with the free wifi I have here at the moment as it's limited to two hours and 50mb per session!

Have you migrated? if so, im sooooo jealous lol. I migrated to Perth in 2009 but came back as the wife didn't like!!! We lived in Darch, about 20 mins north of the city. Were out there in October for 3 weeks on a holiday so I can try to persuade her to return smile

I recommend going to Fremantle and getting a meal in the Little Creatures brewery one evening m8 - Awesome place!! And for a day out shopping go to Joondalup Lakeside shopping centre - if you have young ones with you, there is a pretty decent swimming pool just up the road from the shopping centre too smile

Enjoy smile

ohh, and if you want a real nice chill out day with both the Ocean for body boarding and a fresh water river for snorkelling and hooning about in with boat hire too - and a decent chippy in the car park - take a day out to Moore River. Google it - you'll see why river & ocean are perfect on the same day.

We sure have, I'm sat at Mindarie Marina as I type this and have just got back from Lakeside at Joondalup.

Thanks for the tips, will bear them in mind!

Next Monday Ian, would have liked a longer period before starting but it wasn't to be. Mind you that's not a bad thing to get in and start earning money I guess!

No, we never did Dave. If you ever make it out to the race at Barbagallo, you'd be welcome to stay with us, we should be about 20 minutes from the track!

Definitely in my plans for May next year!
