Friday night; me, Millie and Rosie-may had a girls night in. Getting food in and watching some tv, whilst Samuel and David attended a footie event through Samuels club where some players from the West Coast Eagles were rumoured to attend. Saturday; me and Millie went and looked around the local Karrinyup shops. Im being very good at saving my money and did not buy anything; as clothes prices here are very expensive in-comparison to back home! Samuel and Rosie-may had a sleepover with two friends this night, so us adults settled down for the eve and watched a kings speech. Sunday was spent exploring Perth city. Unfortunately the weather clouded over by the time we arrived in the city, so I plan to visit the city again to see it properly. We briefly visited the bell tower which bells were given to the "people of Western Australia as part of the national Bicentennial celebrations in 1988. Among its many attributes the Bell Tower includes the twelve bells of St Martin-in-the-Fields. The bells were again recast between 1725 and 1770 by three generations of the Rudhall family of bell founders from Gloucester in England, under the order of the Prince of Wales who was later crowned as King George II. They are one of the few sets of royal bells and are the only ones known to have left England."

We also visited Kings Park, which is a national park on the outskirts of the city and features a state war memorial, as well as a large glass walkway between eucalyptus trees. This was amazing!! and had great views of the city. As we walked around the memorial; two huge rainbows stretched across our view of the city. It was a true photo moment and I shall upload the pictures soon. I am currently waiting for first lesson to start in my second and last week at Christ Church Grammar School, before I move onto Newman next week.
Lots of love xxxxxx
