Quokka2005 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 From your posts I thought you were at a bit of a loose end last time in Perth. Most of the time I liked it. I just didn't really mix with people because the hostel was a bit.. Funny. The people I shared with were tradies and weren't there much. Hopefully this next room is a bit better and Ive been talking to a few people on the Perth backpacker page so there's some things going on like groups going to the beach etc that I'll probably join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Well that's my last night here over, I had a few drinks. Far too much vodka red bull, never learn my lesson! Kinda mixed feelings about going back to Perth. I've definitely had a mostly good experience down here and I'm glad I came. Met some nice locals and my bosses were nice. They told me a guy who has had a few of his own pubs really complimented me tonight and said I was really good. It was funny because he said to me "oh I've never been to Scotland before but I knew a guy who was from wishaw" which is like 20 mins from me, he seemed really surprised!

Guest Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Jesus if I knew you were associating with people that know people from Wishaw I'd have been worried about you http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-28226652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good old pishy wishy haha! It's where my nearest McDonald's is so it's dear to my heart haha only joking. It was just funny that out of all the names in Scotland he came out with that one, he seemed really pleased when I said it was near me :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 The buckfast probably. It's just full of neds. When they had the heavy rain recently there was a video online of a guy trying to properly swim in a puddle :dull: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortlepuss Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 When you come to Brisbane make sure you get to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Then you can get up close and personal to kangaroos (and koalas!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah we're definitely going to Lone pine, jakes mentioned that one. Good pic Fiona! Well I was about to give up and go home and I noticed those 2 in the field, they were quite a bit closer than that picture but I took that as they were hopping away. They could sense me and I think they made themselves look a bit bigger and I thought oh crap what do I do if they come at me or something lol. The locals said some of the males can be pretty big, apparently there's a massive old one going around near the sports centre. I'm really glad I got to see some though, I knew getting out of bed would be worth it haha. I couldn't sleep anyway, I'm hungover now i'll miss seeing the ring neck parakeets outside my window every morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 That's me said my goodbyes to everyone and I'm waiting on the bus. Few people stopped to say goodbye as I was walking there. Feeling quite sad about leaving, it's one of those places you just get used to really quickly because it's so small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 6 hours. I'm struggling a bit, I feel like I'm sweating out vodka and red bull and the bus is busy so I'm sitting beside someone and can't sleep. Last time the bus was pretty much empty. Nah I missed him because I had to go take a phone call! But he bought me a drink with his scratch card winnings so that's good enough for me. And he said he misses all the barmaids but I know he'll miss me more :laugh: He's definitely been more cranky since he went back to Perth for Xmas, it ruined all my training haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Luckily for you a respite from the weather appears to be on the way. Back to the high twenties for the following three days. I imagine a few of our assortment of Perth femme will be volunteering to escort and carriage you to various out of the way locations, that your feet will hardly touch the ground. Oh for the tranquillity of Ongerup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Im stuck in Armadale :dull: people haven't turned up for the bus but we have to wait on them anyway. I just want off the bus! I'd get the train but I've just got far too much stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 That's frustrating being so close, I went Armadale once (got the train there as we fancied seeing what was at the end of the line). Hope you get on the move soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
