After the nightmare of our truck breaks inside, reaching an abrupt end to our adventures, it will please know that our stress levels have been reduced to normal! The last three weeks have been spent on the recovery of Perth. A great thanks to Emma’s cousin, Natasha, who has raised us and supports us!
Perth is the capital of Western Australia and is closer to Singapore than Sydney. It is winter at this time, so we have gone from promising a promised heat of 30 degrees in Darwin at temperatures that would normally constitute a British summer. Looking at the photos from home, all I can say is that I’m a bit jealous, it’s so warm. When we first arrive at Perth, the plan was to look for work and, perhaps in one or two months, continue our trip back to Melbourne. In fact, it has not been easy for us to find work that is not close to slavery or work that no Australian wants to do. We request about ten jobs each since we have been here. I heard of legal work in a few hours rejecting myself. Apart from that, nothing has been realized. Honestly, I think that as soon as someone reads a job application that says ‘work vacation visa’, they immediately reject you for being a ‘backpack’. There are thousands of young adults in Australia constantly looking for work. Some people are really lucky to find something decent, but it really is not the promised land here. I spoke recently with an Australian who kept saying that Australian works should be for Australians. Obviously except agricultural work. Agricultural work can be for foreigners. With this in mind, we both agreed that we should reduce our losses and move on. We want to finish this adventure in a high. I am pleased to say that now everything is ordered and that a new publication will arrive shortly! We have not done too much while here in Perth. We are enjoying aspects of the ‘normal life’ that I have always taken for granted. I think I spent more time in the shower than outside it. We have been watching Netflix and Stan. Having constant wi-fi is incredible for productivity in this blog and social networks, but also terrible to waste time. The most prominent aspects of our time in Perth, however, are below.
Rottnest Island
Rottnest Island is located only 18 km from the coast and is probably home to the world’s prettiest animals; The quokka. Fortunately, they treated us with a warm climate (the skies are always blue even in winter) for a day on the island. We decided to hire bicycles to try to see as much as possible on the island. It turns out that riding Rottnest Island’s lap would be about 20 km. Not far in my cycling days, but I have not mounted from my hip operation. Emma has never mounted so far. Artico in the east of the island of Thomson Bay, we set up along the northern coast stopping in Geordie Bay before moving on to the central lakes. Along the way, we were careful not to cross the thick black lizards, as well as an angry snake. The lakes were destined to be pink but were away from that.[easy-image-collage id=2304]Back on the north coast, we tried to swim in Little Armstrong Bay, but the water was absolutely frozen. Finally we arrived at the western end of the island, where we saw seals, marine lions and dolphins playing in the water. The only problem we faced was that there was no water available more or less outside the main settlement. We rode most of the 22 km without water, which probably made everything 10 times worse than it really was. There were sometimes the ones we thought we would not return to the ferry![easy-image-collage id=2305]However, the best part of the day was reserved for the infamous Selfie Quokka. These little Marsupials look so happy thanks to their overturned mouth. It makes them see as if they were smiling constantly. It is in the lists of desires of many people to obtain a selfie and, honestly, the images are absolutely fun.[easy-image-collage id=2308]
FreeMantle
Fono is a port city at the mouth of the Swan River just a quick train trip of thirty minutes from the CBD of Perth. It is full of heritage buildings, all built by convicts and is beautiful. On Friday we could walk through FreeMantle’s markets before drinking some beers at the Little Creules brewery.
If you ever go to Perth, you have to go to small creatures. It is a big problem around and worldwide. The beer itself was fantastic for artisanal beer; My favorite is Elsie a Wa Ale. It is made exclusively for premises and is only available in Western Australia. I wish it wasn’t how I think the world would fall in love! They also make incredible firewood pizzas. We shared a pumpkin, goat cheese and spinach pizza while we saw the sun fall. [easy-image-collage id=2310]
King Park
While there may not be much in the center of Perth (you could do everything in one day!), King’s Park is the highlight. One of the largest city parks in the world has incredible views from the same perth. We take some wrong turns and end up climbing the Jacob staircase, 221 steps along the side of a cliff. You do not need a round of gym here, simply run up and down several times and you will be torn. Tightening and with the tremor of the leg, we wandered by King’s Park for a few hours. He reminded us of being on the right Australian bush, but we were so close to the city.[easy-image-collage id=2311]
My first AFL game
He had failed to see an AFL game (Australian rules football) in advance since the season was over while we were in Melbourne and, since then, we have always been moving. Fortunately, everything joined while we were in Perth. Freemantle’s dockers were playing the Brisbane lions at the new Optus stadium that wanted to go anyway. For $ 25, you couldn’t go! I had seen some games on television, so I had a general idea what to expect. The atmosphere for the first quarter of the game was non -existent. He grew a little later, but the Dockers were dominating absolutely, so I am not surprised that he was so quiet. However, the game was good, although a bit confusing. If I had to describe AFL, it is a bit like rugby and combined netball. Strange.[easy-image-collage id=2312]Apart from that, we have just been exploring the city (we don’t take a long time) and we drink good drinks to help us dismiss. It will be a sad day when we finally have to leave Australia three months before, but, in a way, I am excited. Excited to explore new countries and new cultures, but also to go home!
