About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Augusta holiday break

Christmas is over and Perth has sizzled in a heatwave but with more luck than planning we have spent the last four days some 300kms away in Augusta.

Being the most south westerly point of Australia and where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet the Leeuwin coastline is naturally several degrees cooler than the Perth region.

The beautiful Blackwood River is an added attaction and is a backdrop for numerous water related activites, including boating, fishing, swimming and similar water sports.

At the top of the Leeuwin Lighthouse....a slight breeze on a very calm day.
