Almost forgot to reply to this one.. sorry! Nenad, I'm in Brissie. Same country but I think the flight over from Perth is about as long as Perth-Singapore. I've been to Perth a couple of times and quite like it; the place has a good feel to it. Remember one night a friend and I put on skates at around midnight and did a big loop of the river, starting at Coco's (opposite the city side. Good food, incidentally..). It got pretty dark around the side with the casino, but luckily the dodgy sorts left us alone.
Didn't have anything but a point and shoot, but would have loved to have a proper camera with me back then. Other good memories include coffee on the cliff at Cottesloe, and on another occasion hot chips with salt and vinegar with a friend on the beach waiting for the sun to plop. I have yet to do a search for a Quokka, but I will later- half expecting to see a Dr Seuss character!
