The Green Bogey Bicentennial WA Special

Hello readers, we are 200 blog posts old and still going strong I think, though the hair’s a bit greyer, the knee a bit dodgier and camera button extensively eroded. What better way to celebrate this milestone with a very special trip to Western Australia and as I embark on writing this post, quite probably the longest entry with more photos to mess up the formatting than ever before!

I spent just over a week in the west, a state composing almost one half of Australia with three-quarters of its population living in the most isolated capital city in the world, Perth. It is quicker to fly from the east coast to New Zealand, and from Perth, easier to get to Singapore than Sydney. Arriving at Perth airport it feels like you should and have indeed arrived in another country, yet all the usual Aussie things, sublime and ridiculous are there. Join me (over several lunch breaks) as we sample a tiny fraction of them…
