  1. Melia in Nusa Dua has a great beach with has decent snorkeling opportunities. There are nice tropical fish varieties fish in crystal clear waters in 3-4 feet depth. The beach is private so hotel guests only and you dont get the hassle of souvenir hawkers. Its 5 Star but you only pay 150-170 per night which includes full buffet breakfast. Its far from the hustle of Kuta and you wont get a party scene. Very large pool to relax in family friendly and middle age friendly as well. There are more the European types that go there and they seem to be fairly quiet. Its close to a Shopping Centre. There are also a few restaurants you can use at the hotel - Japanese, Beach Tapas etc.. that tend to have themed buffet nights as well they. Just bear in mind its more for tourists etc and dont really offer the 'real' Bali experience. But for that just hire a local driver for $40 USD for a full day and they can bring you to wherever you want to experience the culture.. then go back to your comfortable room after. Its only 30 min from the airport too.

  2. Yes indeed and if you do make sure you get in touch.. Ive been travelling to this side of the world for some time and have all the right trusted contacts including personal drivers etc... you'll be looked after! You can have one bring you all around bali for less than $35 for a half day

  3. Glad to know youre well Stacey. We are in Ubud, in the hills of Bali now just 3 and a bit hours away....enjoying the food, scenery and tropical serenity.. $250 return flights :wink: Homestays from $15 a night or get a 1 bed private villa for $40 on our premises .. hint hint....but we decided to push the budget and get a deluxe house with amazing views for $150...

  4. For the last 10 years or so I think Summer in Perth has moved forward to start in Jan.. the seasons have moved.. interesting when reading about traditional aboriginal knowledge of Perth seasons apparently there were 7-8 seasons showing that our need to apply traditional western european seasons to everywhere we populate does not quite hold true.. its going to be a long hot summer though.. perhaps ending around end of march..

  5. Hi Stacey

    Yanchep is okay.. it used to be much more isolated and lovely.. but now its jus a lovely 'suburb' ...

     

    Two Rocks is further out and has the best beaches.. Imagine Cottesloe white sand with no shops or people!

     

    Down South is also most Beautiful.

     

    Beach townships of Dunsborough and Margaret River, Karri forests of Pemberton and Walpole Valley of the Giants.

  6. Welcome to Perf Stacey! I just blinked and you seem to have changed usernames (:eek:) and come around the world.. been hot and cool as well strange end of spring weather... How long are you planning to stay here for? Might be able to arrange something in between work and the children next month!...:cute:

  7. I'm listening to it now, and though I've heard of some of the bands, I don't know much about this album. I don't think it's about Elizabeth Street in Sydney, but I'm not sure. Studio 301 where they recorded it is in Alexandria. Maybe Citadel Records is in E St?

     

    Good music anyway! Thanks. How did you find about it?

    Theres a lot of great Australian music that wasnt mainstream I know you have good musical taste so I posted this. Do you know if theres more than one Elizabeth street in Sydney? Ive been involved with the music scene back then. I might even have some contacts who have been signed to Citadel. Might ask them about the compilation. Pm me if you wish to find out a bit more about the great halcyon days of underground Australian pop music.
