My Australian Holiday

Just back from a fantastic 12 days in Perth with my brother. Managed to see most of the family and had a really good time. We hired a car for 5 of the days we were there. It's the first time I've driven in 5 months and it felt great! A big thank you to our Uncle Graham for picking us up and dropping us back at the airport, Aunty Maria who we changed plans with 4 times before staying with her for 2 nights and Aunty Judith who let us stay at short notice and took us out for a meal. Also thank you to our Nanna in Pinjarra for making us great pancakes as usual!

The Rottnest Island lighthouse. From where we saw...Great views of the whole island. You can see the airport, the settlement and the city of Perth (in the background) in this picture.
These animals that look like rats are called Quokkas. The island is full of them and they all come out at night.
My dad is a policeman on the island. This is his police jeep.
This beach is only accessible by jeep and the police are the only people on the island that have them. It was great as we had the whole beach to ourselves!
My hire car. It was a Nissan Tiida.
My friend Pierre was on a trip to Perth while we were there so we took him to a wildlife park to see Kangeroos. You can see him stood in the corner of the picture. Jaegen is in the centre of the Kangeroos.

The bridge in Mandurah. We grew up in a small town nearby called Pinjarra.
