Every Perthian will tell you to visit King’s Park with its botanical gardens, when you ask them what to visit in Perth. So we did! Jenny, the guide, took us on an amazing free tour (at 10h, 12h and 14h) and treetop walk. It was a journey where we saw lots of AWESOME native plants…
Read moreNo Eggs and Weird Chicks
Tijdens een ontspannende stadswandeling in Perth kan je achter iedere hoek “Street Art” terugvinden. Veel dingen zijn ronduit prachtig, maar af en toe zit er een vreemde eend in de bijt. In dit geval kwamen we enkele “Weird Chicks” tegen bij het museum. De vraag rest: wat voor eieren komen daar uit?!
Read moreHuge eggs and awesome chicks
As we mentioned earlier, house sitting has a lot of advantages. One of the things we are going to miss when we move to the next house, are definitely the huge eggs from the chooks. When we first arrived, we only found one egg every two days. The poor chooks were dealing with “Stickfast-Fleas“, which…
Read moreCar- and Dogwash
The first time we saw a “Car- and Dog wash”, Tom and I couldn’t stop laughing. We started joking about driving through the carwash with the windows down and the dog in the car. (BTW: this is not how this works!) Instead it is a separate bath next to the carwash with some tools like…
Read moreWalking on sunshine
Working in hospitality = long hours + standing + walking => dying feet! For the past weeks, I always worked on these beautiful, cheap shoes I got from K-mart. Sadly, after four hours of working, I wanted my feet to fall off, just so I wouldn’t feel them anymore. So with my 32-hour work weekend coming…
Read moreAWESOME Strip in het Midden van de Autostrade
Trippen in Australië is niet altijd evident. Er zijn veel onbewoonde, afgelegen gebieden, waar er geen GSM-ontvangst is. Toen we een maand geleden op The Nullarbor van Adelaide naar Perth reden, kwamen we een bordje tegen waarop te lezen stond dat de volgende arts pas honderden kilometers verder te vinden was. Dan slik je toch…
Read moreVraagstukken (Met Solution!): Part 1: St Patrick’s Day
Vraagstuk: Op St Patrick’s Day gaan Claudia en Tom voor de eerste keer in 1 maand tijd uit. Ze gaan naar de bar “Door 49” in Perth en komen daar Didi en Jarred tegen. Dit zijn 2 Noorderburen, die ze een maand eerder tegenkwamen op een camping in Perth. Dit is ongelofelijk TOEVALLIG! Of niet?!…
Read moreBreweries: Part 1: Little Creatures
For Belgians it can be disappointing to visit a foreign brewery. Our visit to the Little Creatures brewery in Fremantle was one of those times. We have to say that the interior of the place is absolutely stunning and their marketing is great, offering free tasting of the entire range. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, only two out…
Read moreThings we Found in the Mailbox (after Upgrading to a House)
After one of our most popular posts ever (Things we Found under our tent), we now have a similar one: “Things we Found in the Mailbox!” Living in a tent isn’t always easy. After two months of camping, sleeping on coaches in the public television room during storms, curved tent poles, ripped doors, and cool…

No matter how hard it is to find a job, once you found one, you immediately forget all the trouble you went through. All you have to do is go to work, enjoy and smile. It doesn’t matter what kind of a job you do, you spend a lot of time there, so make the…
