H283 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 For anyone planning to return to the UK, do you have a wish list of things you want to do while you are still in Australia? I cant wait to get back, but at the same time I dont want to wish my time away here. One of my bucket list items is fish and chip at Cottesloe beach watching the sun set.

Freckleface Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If you are living in Perth (which your location says you are) that item should be fairly easy to tick off your list lol. Have you travelled outside the Perth area at all during your time in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H283 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yes, we have travelled a lot in Australia. I am just trying to think of the little things that I enjoy doing that I wont be able to do when I leave. I only have about 7 weekends left to make the most of!

Guest The Pom Queen Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Have you been to Broome? Cuddled a koala, patted a roo, been to Sydney etc. I think mine would be to travel the West Coast via Kununurra and Broome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Have you been to Broome? Cuddled a koala, patted a roo, been to Sydney etc. I think mine would be to travel the West Coast via Kununurra and Broome @The Pom Queen, done both coastal and inland roads many times and the inland road has more to offer. The Kimberley Region is worth a squiz; up, or down the Great Northern Hwy and return via the Gibb River Road. And the Duncan, as far as Lost Poms Creek...:laugh: Cheers, Bobj.

flag of convenience Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Definitely agree with above. You should try and get to The Kimberley. Be as self sufficient as possible as it is pricey to stay in hotels. Fly Broome, drive to Derby and do Gibb Road. Stop off in Wyndham and drive to Kununurra. Only a short hop to Darwin from there. It would be a shame to miss NT while still here. Not much I can suggest close to Perth that you are unlikely to have not seen. Rottnest Island I'd suggest worth a return visit as sure you've been. A weekend in Kalbarri? A meal in The Valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjg Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Drive a ute sideways down a dirt road. Grow a mullet. Drink a slab of VB, by yourself, in 24 hours. Read the sign at the bottom of Uluru about it being a sacred aboriginal site, where it requests visitors to appreciate but not climb; say '&$@! it', and start climbing. Kiss a typical Collingwood supporter (the type with only three teeth). Eat a meat pie and down a few beers in bay 13 at the MCG, on Boxing Day.

If you think that is what Australia is, you certainly wouldn't want to, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 One of my bucket list items is fish and chip at Cottesloe beach watching the sun set. I have done many amazing things in Australia. I have also eaten fish and chips on the beach at Cottesloe watching the sun set, and I have to say it was underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockinTas Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Really? I watched many a spectacular sunset further up the road at Mullaloo - minus the fish and chips though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My in laws loved watching the sunset from Cottesloe - although we did take a rather nice bottle of Mgt River rose and I packed a picnic - we then took them to Kings Park at night for the views. Having said that - they were with us, so it may very well have been the company they were keeping that made them enjoy it so much :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegirl Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Can't wait to view the sunsets and have fish and chips ,or go to. Kings park and watch the city at night, I miss all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 lol I think we should ask if we can change the name of that creek @The Pom Queen, Ok, How about the Behn River? Incidentally, the actual Argyle Downs station is on the banks of the Behn, just that the homestead building was removed and rebuilt at the Lake Argyle dam site. Cheers, Bobj.

Bound4Tassie Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Dive with the whale sharks at Ningaloo reef.Me too! It was the wrong time of year when I went so had to 'make do' with manta rays. ( which were very impressive ...but just not when you were hoping for whale sharks!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
