Perth was a welcome break from travelling and we relished the home comforts. Aaron and Opal the pug were so generous in letting us take over their house and car for 3 weeks. We thought about travelling around Western Australia but our trip coincided with the summer holidays so there was a lack of available and affordable accommodation. Perth has so many things though that this was not an issue. We swam in lakes and beaches and the girls tried out most of the parks which were the best we have found anywhere in the world with amazing facilities. We cooked many meals on the free BBQs and developed some new culinary inventions including the baked bean cheese wrap and a smores delight! Other regular eats included Slurpees and the usual fast foods including Burger King masquerading as Hungry Jacks.

We brunched in the city, cycled through it and watched Paddington under the stars. The girls e-scooted through Mandurah. We swam and bush walked through Kalamunda. Scarborough beach gave us sunsets and DJs.
