Yeah, as Max says in the blog below, we are "travellin' light". Mind you if you saw our bags you would yelp "light!" But travellen' light for us now is more a matter of mind than luggage. For the first time since the 70's we set out with no itinerary, no schedule. We did have reservations for our trip to Samoa but then they all got tsunamied away so and we cashed in those tickets for plane fare to Perth and here we are in Western Australia with seat of the pants travel. When we arrived we decided to take a bus adventure tour of Western Oz but at the last minute we bailed as things looked sketchy and rented a car. We have now decided to NOT go to Queensland and the great barrier reef as Oz is EXPENSIVE ($1200 per night at the reef resort). In fact thanks to Tyler's wisdom we have been staying mostly at backpackers hostels in nice double rooms. Our 1974 photos in the youth hostel cards draw hoots and howls...oh well.
We spent 2 days in Perth -nice city but not special, went out to an island near Fremantle that was quite nice, then rented the car and headed north up the coast. Wow. WA is a BIG state. But this is the Oz we remember...outbackish. We've seen emus and kangaroos nearly every day. The turquoise water is stunning and the beaches are long lonely and lovely. Perfect weather.
