Arrival in Australia

Seeing a 4 week gap between finishing exams in Bournemouth and starting term in Australia was just too good an opportunity to miss. As soon as I received my exam timetable I booked flights to Perth for 2 days after the last exam! Perth was a fantastic place to visit, I will defiantly be returning! I booked into a hostel for the first few days and spent most of the time exploring the city and surrounding beaches. You meet people so easily in hostels so on the second night met a girl from Germany who was keen to travel the coast. 

                                                                                                                                        


First trip was to a very small town called Lancelin, which was a top spot for kitesurfing being 30 degrees, with big waves and strong winds. On returning to Perth we decided to rent a car and travel down the coast to a town called Margaret River. There is so much to see here, with countless idyllic beaches, rivers and many activities. However beware of mosquitoes if you are living in a tent!!!!                                              

Lastly we travelled to Rottnest Island, 45 minute boat from Perth, where we rented bikes and did lots of snorkelling. I then flew to Melbourne a day later which was a 3.5 hour flight.
