nico_collard Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) dunno... I'll end up skimming through it.. Any progress on the Perth info? Edited May 31, 2009 by nico_collard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) But it is intriguing, exciting, and will take you through the thrills, spills and general excitement of my weekend! This may be slightly inappropriate, I can edit it if you like Is there anything I missed out? Why should you come to Perth? Well … if you don’t come to Western Australia you’ve only been to half the country. End of discussion. Also, Perth is like, a totally interesting city. We have lots of landmarks and stuff! I guess it’s well known for its striking skyline, a modest five or so ten-storey buildings* that we like to call ‘skyscrapers’ (our sky is pretty low, I guess). The great thing about Perth is that you can walk from one end of the city to the other in under 10 minutes - no nasty taxis or public transport necessary! And it completely dies around 11pm, nice and safe after a gig! We tried to make a few interesting monuments especially for foreigners like you. There’s the highly historical Swan Bells – built way back in … uh, 2000. Next to the bell tower we added something special just for you this January; it’s a miniature London Eye-type ferris wheel! Aww, we thought it’d make you feel at home when you visit, just don’t try to put your car in it, you might break it We have lots of unique animals that you can see and you can even pat some of them if you like. Right from the city you can see some of our funky black swans, they’re our state emblem. They’re like normal swans, but black. You can take a ferry to Rottnest Island just off Fremantle, where you can meet some quokkas. They’re like really little wallaby/kangaroo things, some (stupid) people think they look like rats – the island got its name from a (stupid) Dutch explorer who thought the island was rat infested and decided to get the crap out of there. There is some nice snorkelling there too, for people who don’t hate fish. I may be biased, but WA has some of the best nature-y things in Australia(/the world), if you’re into driving a few thousand kilometres you can see Australia’s best beaches** in Esperance, or swim with whale sharks at Ningaloo (they’re fish, but they kind of look like whales, you could pretend). You can see lots of dolphins, dugongs, and turtles in Monkey Mia, or some pointy rocks in the middle of nowhere around Cervantes. I could go on, but I’m not trying to get you to move here, we’d settle for concerts! Perth may be the most isolated city in the world***, but we sure like live music, I think it’s something to do with the money we make from pulling stuff out of the ground, and also because we’re awesome. So if you’ll take the (well worth it) flight across, there’s lots of choice for music venues - if you’re going for a nice 2,000-and-something capacity, I think the Capitol is great, the Fly By in Fremantle isn’t bad (and it has awesome prop-like décor), or Metro City is worth a visit. But if you want to go all out there’s the Challenge Stadium or Burswood Dome. So what are you waiting for – get your butt over here! * possible exaggeration ** according to me *** according to wikipedia Edited May 31, 2009 by Oakie Doke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we found a lamb without it's mother... she would've died so we took her home! Before we caught her she was rounding up the sheepdog, which was quite amusing...

Oakie Doke Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 And Silver/HK, tumblr is like a blog-thing, but it's less about writing about your day and more about posting things you find interesting/funny/something like that. And there is like this thing that ones that are just posting fan-like things of one thing are f*ckyeah-thing-.tumblr.com eg. ****yeahrpattz.tumblr.com or ****yeahpatrickwolf.tumblr.com or for just about anything you could be a fan of ****yeahsharks.tumblr.com (obviously you have to type those yourself) Or you can just have plain awesome ones, like http://biance.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
