And here was me thinking the Australian members would be gushing to tell us about their beautiful country.

Bondai beach, Ayres Rock, the Barrier Reef, Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, The Outback, Ramsey Street and the set of `Neighbours` oops!

It looks like I`ll just have to stick to the holiday brochures. :-({|=

Here is the GOOD life...

Fishing, camping, surfing, boating, swim with the dolphins, crayfish, prawns, crabs, sunshine, beaches, wildlife, nature, tranquility....you name it....we have it.

I would not want to live anywhere else.

Welcome Rixzta, it`s good to see you over here. \/

I`m not surprised you wouldn`t want to live anywhere else. It looks a great part of Western Australia where you live.

And it seems as though your seasonal temperatures don`t fluctuate too much either.

Over in the U.K. at the moment during the last week we`ve had temperatures ranging from a midday 6 deg centigrade up to 16 degrees here in the North West. I see that the website shows you currently at around 22 deg.

All I want to know is how do avoid all the distractions to work on your computer? :-k

I manage to squeeze a bit in between the golf and the cricket and the fishing and the swimming.....It is difficult...but I do try my best.

The luxury of earning your living off of the internet leaves me with the leisure time I need to enjoy watching my kids grow up.....who knows...I may just grow up one day too 8-[

Hi Rick,

Great to have you here, Welcome Aboard Web Life =D>

Fishing, camping, surfing, boating, swim with the dolphins, crayfish, prawns, crabs, sunshine, beaches, wildlife, nature, tranquility....you name it....we have it

Sounds Great to me. Personally I love to go crabing and then cook them up in a big pot and then "pig out" with a few stubbies of Southwick Premium or some West End Export

PS> You forgot to add your smashing computer sig

Well Perth`s good enough for that great guitarist of the Shadows, Hank Marvin to live in.

The chap who looks after our gas appliances told me yesterday about his visits to Perth as his sister and brother-in-law live there. He visits every few years.

This is an island he and his wife saw last time and were very impressed with.
Quote:

Rottnest Island, a popular weekend getaway for both locals and visitors, is located 17 kilometres off the Western Australian coast near Fremantle. The island is 11 kilometres long, 4.5 kilometres at its widest point and the land area measures 19 kmē. Approximately 500,000 people visit Rottnest Island every year.
Rottnest Island was inhabited by Aborigines since approximately 30,000 years ago, until rising sea levels separated the island from the mainland of Western Australia approximately 7,000 years ago. The island features in Nyoongar Aboriginal mythology.

The island was identified by Dutch sailors in 1610, and the name was bestowed upon the island by the Dutch fleet captain Willem de Vlamingh in 1696. Vlamingh (or one of his crew) believed that the indigenous marsupial called a quokka was in fact a large rat ("rottnest" meaning "rat's nest" in the Dutch language).
Sounds a nice place to visit, and Perth sounds a wonderful place to live.
