Mandurah

Today we visited Mandurah, a town about an hours drive south of Perth. Its just had a train line completed between it and Perth and is, according to Stevo, the fastest growing conurbation in Australia. Although it wasn't the sunniest of days, it was easy to see why - it had a bit of a small town feel, but the canal system there is reminiscent of Venice and there are some really impressive houses down on the waterfront.

We took a boat ride on which, as it turned out, we were the only passengers!

Kaz enjoys the view.

This house is for sale. The skipper of the boat says it's going for $11m.
The sign says it has an indoor pool and 4 bathrooms.

One of the benefits of a cloudy day is that it makes for
great sunsets. Here you go, Dad.

We're driving right down south to Maragret River and Pemberton for a couple of nights tomorrow. No idea what the internet access will be like down there so you may have to wait a few days for the photos of giant trees, caves and, hopefully, more sunsets!
