Tomcats travels Perth to Sydney April 2023: Perth

Another beautiful day in Perth 25 degs at 4.00pm but a lot hotter at mid-day. Probably as hot as our mid summer or even hotter, but not high humidity more a dry heat. Went out this morning to pick up a few things for the van and set up our Oz SIM card. Later in the afternoon went for a walk down to a beautiful reserve on the banks of the Swan river looking over to the city. It sure is a well laid out city with lots of green areas which are all so well manicured. Didn’t do a lot today as we spent a week in Perth last year and saw so much then. We enjoy it here lovely city, this time stayed in Metro Hotel for two nights, very basic but we survived.

We will leave the hotel at 8.30am tomorrow to pick up our motorhome. Then off to the supermarket to stock up to get us across the Nullarbor plains. Three nights on the road before we start the Nullarbor and three nights crossing it. We are both really looking forward to it, love the expanse of desert and the continuous straight roads. 🤞 the weather will continue like we have been having.

After shopping this morning at the Belmont Forum Shopping Centre came back to the hotel for a couple of hours before we walked down to McCullum Park a beautiful large reserve about 1km from our Hotel on the banks of the Swan River opposite the city.

A huge area with this great footpaths along the foreshore and winding through the park. The river is tidal and the water was right up to grass level even though it was 4.00pm and high tide was noon. Wish we had come down then to see how far it came over the grass.
