After a nearly four hour flight from Melbourne I arrived in Perth on the 10th of October at around midday, the flight was good I was sat next to a girl the same age as me who grew up in Perth and now lives in Melbourne, very interesting conversations she used to be a mermaid in Tokyo and now she’s a contortionist for the circus hmmmm my mind started to wander, she was cool and the flight went quick..
My brother met me at the airport and drove me out to his place in Scarboroughwe sat around drinking whisky catching up on all the latest. The next day we were booked on a vineyard tour called Spring in the Valley, the idea sounded good we all get on a bus head out of town for about 40 minutes do some wine tasting and head home, simple? well no not quite, it would appear that the vineyards could cater for about 2/3 of the people that had shown up, it was insane! only one place would let us in as the rest were all full. So anyway we were in this place called Ferrel it was a big grass paddock with a DJ one end and porterloos at the other and in between were a few thousand drunk people with the parimeter guarded by security and police, and thank Christ for that! these people are plain fucking nuts all the guy’s think they are hero’s and spend the day trying to prove it, fights breaking out everywhere. The worst part was we were stuck, the bus leaves at 5 no sooner, so suffer we must. The only saving grace was the girls, I think Perth has a pretty high concentration of beautiful woman and 90% blond, and all dressed to kill, it reminded me a bit of the races back home how they all get dresed up and look a million on the way there and on the way back look like make-up monsters that have been dragged by the hair through a bush..
Yesterday my brother and I went and hired a couple of scooters from Freemantle and spent the next three hours riding around checking out the beaches along the coast, it’s a beautiful place once you hit the beach white sand clean clear water, beautiful people everywhere, which leads me to think that 
I don’t fit in too well, pale skin and a beer gut is not in fashion I can assure you, the weather was nice and warm, I managed to get sunburnt feet of all things.
not sure what to make of Perth yet, I can understand the weather being an attraction but the place is pretty bland there are nice beaches but that’s about it, I guess coming from New Zealand I’m a bit spoilt when it comes to the scenery but still there is nothing here, kinda like they’ve just set up shop in the desert which aint far from the truth it’s all sand and scrub nothing much to look at..
