    Your pictures are awesome, Niamh. I bet the shopping was grand, as was the food (I have heard about the legendary cuisine of Australia)
    I also envy you the opportunity to see/hear the Didgeridoo musicians, you don't get that stuff over on my side of the world, that's for sure.
    Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and photos, ~K♥zzo

    I thought that was a snake charmer in front of the didgier dude.

    Glad you had such a good time here The west coast, where I live, is certainly different to the east. Weather wise and also social wise. I hope people were nice to you... The people there tended to be a lot ruder than the ones around where I live. But it is a lot more busier on that side, and Perth and its surrounds are a lot more isolated, whereas there are a lot of cities and towns close together on that side, so maybe that might have something to do with it... Oh oh oh and I saw those didgeridoo guys!! I've played a didgeridoo before... not very well though it's harder than it looks!

    I found the people in Sydney so nice! A lot of them didnt want me to go home. and everyone in the shops were so friendly. It was a nice change from Ireland. I hope to make it to the west coast during my next trip! I'm thinking of applying for a two year visa. I'll have to do three months of fruit picking to get it though! it would be a nice change an its something i'd enjoy alright!
