Australia Day in Perth

Sorry for the silence. We've had a funny couple of months.... very busy what with one thing and another. I've taken on more at work and have been doing a lot of work with the College of Emergency Medicine, Roger has had a nasty chest infection and the kids have been settling back into school.

I took the kids over to Perth for a few days at the end of January to hang out with my brother Ed, Ness and his kids Jessica, Olivia and Max.

We had a wonderful time and the kids certainly had a lot of fun. It was Max's 7th birthday whilst we were there so we even had an excuse to celebrate. We took the kids to Adventure World, a local theme park with lots of water slides and plenty of other rides. Alex persuaded me to go on 'The Abyss' a $12 million  roller coaster with speeds up to 85kph and 4.5G. Apart from feeling very old in the queue (it was mainly teenagers) it was great fun.

We also caught up with our good friends Hilda and Rob for a BBQ and watched the Australia Day fireworks on the banks of the Swan River.
