Perth and NamBung National Park

Friends,
This isn't going to be the long winded blog posting you're used to getting. Some, I'm sure are saying THANK GOD! Last weekend Iral and I flew over to Western Australia for a long weekend. We arrived Thursday evening and got settled in before heading out to dinner and a few drinks. On Friday we wandered the city and had lunch with the CAD Manager, Sandra, from URS's office there. In the evening we went to "The Court Hotel" Perth's main gay bar. We danced and drank the night away until about 2am. Saturday morning we got up and were on the road by 9am, heading north for 250km (155miles) to the Nambung National Park, more commonly known as The Pinnicles. A lovely place by the Indian Ocean with cool rock formations sticking up out of the sand spread over many acres. Then a few more drinks back in town for Saturday night. A tour of Kings Park in Perth and a couple hours at the Casino on Sunday (nothing good to report) before catching our flight back to Melbourne. In all Perth is a nice town of about 750,000 people. Fairly young by most standards only about 150 years old. Not as culturaly diverse as Melbourne and with a larger population of rural country kids coming into town to get drunk and be stupid on the weekends. A nice place to visit for the weekend.
My next blog entry will be in late July I hope to make a small posting before leaveing on my big GAY GAMES trip. We just got the music this morning so I need to start practicing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY on June 26th to the one and only Phyllis Hag Hanson! I miss you!
Oh yeah Mike Wrobleski gets older too on June 16th
Miss all of you really! Come visit!
