Maybe it's the British winter getting me down but I do miss WA.

Anyway I’ve been working on a page describing our 20 years in Australia, it's a work in progress though so there isn't a lot there at the moment but if you fancy a read please take a look.

20 years in Australia


Cheers

A good read Dave.................. hurry up and finish the rest.

We stayed in the Adelphi apartments many moons ago and like you I was buggered if i could find a way off the Freeway onto Mounts Bay Rd. We'd actually driven past the apartment and waved at it several times before we twigged where we were going wrong. Did you nick any of those fluffy white towels from down the laundry in the basement?
