10 Jan 2009 Geraldton-Perth

Geralton was a lot prettier than I thought it would be.  There is not much to do though, and the main attraction is the HMAS Sydney II Memorial.  We had a guided tour of it which is free and interesting.  Then we went to the library since they had free wireless internet and both my dad and Hendrik cannot live without internet for too long.  It was an awesome library.  One of the most modern ones I’ve ever been too they had board games and puzzles on top of books and magazines so I could have easily spent the whole day there and was not bored, even though I did not have my laptop with me. In the afternoon, we drove back down to Perth and stayed in a Big4 and had a typical Australian barbecue with shrimp and fish and too much food to finish.

The next morning we went to visit the King’s Park and the Botanical Gardens which really impressed me.  I thought they were comparable to Sydney’s, and from them we also had a wonderful view of the city.  After visiting the park we flew back to Melbourne.
