Without wheels... That sucks in
Perth, it's so spread out.
Well, there is HEAP to do. Picnic at
Kings Park is easy to get to. River cruise/wine tour if your into that.
Without wheels a trip to
rottnest island has to be a goer as there are no cars there anyway, you ride bikes .. ha. hoo.. just a minute..... (just catching my breath) you ride bikes everywhere on rottnest, you can hire them when you get there. Ferry ride over is cheap and not too long. Plenty to do there.
You could even do a 4wd bus tour to the pinnicles. Takes a whole day, but you would probally love it.

What about hiring a 4wd and doing the pipeline, maybe the darling scarp and the
wineries on the way
home. Proberly cheaper than the wine cruise.
Or Lanclin dunes and wineries on way
home. And there is the double decker bus
tour,freo jail. Funny you dont think of things when you live in a place.
Cheers Brian

Thanks Brian. We have been on the bus tour around freo, but I like the idea of hire of 4WD. I will do some work on the net tonight and look into this.

G"day Brian,
sad thing is, since I moved to
Sydney 9 yrs ago, whenever I get back to
Perth and eagerly troop off to one of my sentimental 'ol watering holes....I find it - just not there. There is a block of units (the Shents) or a
carpark (The Floreat) or Retirment village (the Swanbourne) or...a 500 club (The Old
Melbourne) it's just so sad, sorry, I'll go now. Breaks your heart, especially if it was a good live music venue.
sniff... sniff...
Jeremy.
