The Air Race itself turned out to be a showdown between two Brits with the pilot in the yellow plane (pictured landing) losing out in the final to another English guy though the world championship went to an Austrian who finished third on the day. Brilliant views of the event from above the city, on the water and by the riverside. Superb weather too.
But on soon to the big one, the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday when England/Ireland field seven of the 24 runners. Flying out of Perth tomorrow and may well have a tip to replace previous one. Watch this space ! Dave

So impressed with the detail and professionalism of your blog! I fel embarrassed at my efforts.....we stayed in Freemantle (a mistake I think, 2 far from the action) and did the Swan river trip in reverse. Also went to prison and to immigrants museums.....loved the weird "Tudor" shopping centre. went with local friend to the park but it was wet!!! impressive crafts shop- I remember and the tree top walk. It was in Perth we saw our 1st surfing beaches- but water cold. Flies were also annoying when we were there. We r thinking of a return spring 10 as friends from UK now winter there in a flat + our old riend there has been widowed recently.
Great you like it. We enjoy writing and are using the blog as an alternative to emailing everybody. People can cann choose whether they read it or not!
