I'm thinking of visiting Oz, Perth(again) this Nov. i have already been there for a short holiday last year, but this time round, I may wanna see more of SW. Question, where else can I visit besides Perth? It seems so far from anywhere else in Oz... ... any ideas?

David

Plenty of places to see in the Perth area. There are a number of day trips or a couple of day round trip. <BR>Here are some suggestions; <BR>Margaret River...wines, cheese making and great surfing <BR>Leeuwon Naturalise National Park...follow the road from yallingup down to Augusta. <BR>The southern coast road to Albany is also spectacular...some nice places in Pemberton, Denmark etc <BR>Albany...old whaling station <BR>Head north to Stirling Range National Park....plenty of Wildlife <BR>Wave Rock....magnificent natural rock shaped by the wind into the shape of a huge wave. <BR>There is plenty to see and do in the SW of WA.....enjoy your trip.

I am heading to Perth in November with my family. This is my home town so there is always plenty for us to do. Must see - Rottnest Island - only 20 minutes away by ferry, a place like no other in the world. Basically a car free town, with bikes and walking the main means of transport. Get there before the school and college vacations. <BR>Also other great spots are Bunbury, Bussleton, and another must do _ Margaret River - awesome pies at the Bakery, surfing at the river mouth, and plenty of wine tasting. Another little known spot Eagle Bay near Dunsbourgh. <BR>Let me know if you have any other questions. <BR>

Bernie, <BR> <BR>I agree with David's suggestions about the South-West. <BR> <BR>Another Idea would be to travel north a bit to the Pinnacles Desert, Kalbari National Park, Monkey Mia, and if you want to keep going further, Karijini National park. <BR> <BR>Have a great trip

judithlorraine123 from Cologne germany: as I remember the allies in WW2 bombed everything in Cologne (except the church). I guess the bombing included all the calendars. The original post references November 1999- it is now 2007. A lot has changed since then. nice church, but Perth is wonderful. I'm sure Bernie had a great time.
