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.

Near Neighbours

It takes about the same time to fly to Singapore from Perth as it does to fly to Brisbane in flood stricken Queensland.

The small island country is well known as being a tourist friendly spot for many Aussies. My first impressions and as they say always trust those initial feelings, were of an ultra modern, amazingly well run country, full of happy and helpful people. Obviously if I looked beneath the slick veneer I am sure I would find areas that could be improved, but I was there on holiday, so ..........

Here are some of my visual impressions: Day 1What better way to end the day.....a 'Singapore Sling' in the 'Long Room at The Raffles'.
