Day out in Perth town

Yes okay we might of 'done Perth to death' lately but Yours truly found out about a Family Day-pass on the transport system, you see a family pass is only $9 and for that you get free trips on the trains, Ferry and bus for 24 hours. And in Perth town a family consists of 2 adults and five Neville's (up to 16 years old)..... crikey I actually got something right for a change! And up to 16 is beaut because lets be fairdinkum here for a moment, who really wants to go ANYWHERE with a friggin' 16 year old! So if I'm gonna fork over my hard earned moolah I'm gonna get my moneys worth hay, so after a trip to Perth we then caught a bus down to the foreshore and straight onto a ferry over the swan to South Perth. Now yes okay there mightn't be anything worth having a gander at in South Perth, but lets face it 'It's a free trip'! But it does have one thing going for it and that's the view, fairdinkum the view of this ripper country town is just beaut.... or as Jacko would say 'wicked'


There's the little princess with Perth in the background.











There's wicked Jacko

















And the third little neville Harrison who had come for this trip to Perth town, and the main reason for this train trip was to have a gander at Perth Museum. See they were having a Dinosaur Day at the museum, with a mob called 'Erth Visual and Physical' who have a puppet show. But where not talking little puppets here, where talking big T-Rex puppets! but more of that later.







Here comes the ferry to take us back over the swan to Perth, and onto anything else that might tickle our fancy.











Here's Sarah at the front of the Ferry overlooking South Perth.... with all it's things to do (yeah right).













Now this little fella reminds me of someone..... that's it 'I think I know what you did last summer' ha,ha yep that's it I have to make a mental note of this (don't let Harry play around with the cooking knifes!)









And once across the swan river we hit the forshore and here's the Neville's with some swans, the metal variety that is.











The mob in front of Perth's most famous landmark.... yes the majestic Perth Bell tower, but lets give credit where credit is due it has to be the beautest Bell tower going round.









Yes these days Perth has gone into the twenty first century fighting with it's very own UNDERGROUND.... okay it's only one station but still it's underground! And to be fairdinkum it's not bad on the eye, for train stations that is and seeing yours truly had a FREE PASS why not give it a go.





Now isn't that a cute train and it's all brand new looking, see Perth has cameras on all the trains and the stations. So any yobbo who wants to spray a can will get nicked, which is all okay with me being a tax payer and all.










And after a couple of stations down the line we jumped off... and... well jumped back on, and headed back to Perth and the ripper underground station! Fairdunkum you can only wonder whats going through these kiddies heads, something like 'Gess our old fella is a tight ass, but I better smile for the camera or he'll leave me home with the dragon!' ha,ha. (Well it's not like the misses ever reads these posts... well lets hope so anyway)












And here we are back in the Underground and didn't I say it was a ripper little station, without a bit of graffiti in sight.... maybe I might pop a camera in the backyard! (bloody kids)









In front of one of Perth's beaut old buildings back when they used fairdinkum architects, see that little tent in the background. well in a few weeks I will take the kiddies back into Perth to show them, what you can do with millions of WA taxpayers money. Fairdinkum it's one of the crappiest most expensive things that I've seen, but you'll have to wait to see this.... Fairdinkum it's just a friggin' joke.





But yes we finally made it to the Perth Museum with all it's ripper stuff for the kiddies to destroy (given the chance) like this Yong's old Dinosaur fella that goes my the name of T-Rex, and here is my little princess giving a presentation off what a Dinosaur would say is 'A SNACK PACK'.












So we made it to the 'Dinosaur Encounters' and here is Harrison having a chat with one of the puppeteers, she had a little baby Dinosaur which Harry was fascinated by and for the rest of the day he had seen his very first live Dinosaur!







Here is the T-Rex Puppet and isn't he a little ripper it really had the kiddies shitting themselves, of cause Jacko was way to tough to worry about being eaten by a Dinosaur. Or as he Say's 'Dad it won't eat me', 'why not your about perfect bite-size' I asked this little fella 'Because the insurance payout would be massive, so it can't really be real.... but it does look wicked'. Well I can't argue against that now but somehow I just get the feeling that my little kiddies are getting way to old, but then again that means there that more closer to being kicked out of the house 'YOU BEAUTY'





Here's Sarah who started to talk the Dinosaur to death (which is her super power), and as you can see it tyred it's best to hide from her.... wonder if that would work for me?









It was a good show and there taking the show all around WA which is good to see, it also gave the kiddies a bit more information about them. And in Harrison's case he got to see his very first live Dinosaur!







So after walking around the Museum about ten times it was time to hit the road, it was a ripper day out and they seemed to enjoy themselves heaps. And they really loved the underground (so there) but now it's time to catch a bus and then a nice ride home on the train, well you have to get your nine dollars worth!
