Perth Skyline

The next day brought me to Perth, the first big town I’ve really been to since Brisbane. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, a few well earned days off the bike. I need a decent bike store too to give my bike a much needed service. It’s been a long hard slog getting down here and I was glad to finally make it to civilisation again.

I checked into a backpacker hostel on the edge of the CBD and went straight to sleep. next morning I was heading out to do some sightseeing and walked right into Joanne, a girls I was working with in Darwin. Pretty much every day I’m bumping into people I’ve met or worked with before. It’s been nearly 2 months and 5,000km since I left Humpty Doo, this country is huge but sometimes feels tiny too. It’s not like I went to one of the bigger backpackers either, I went to a small one away from the centre. Even back home I don’t bump into people I know as regularly.

Will update more about Perth soon.
