A 3 hours flight to the most western world in Asia
Unbelievable, so quick, so far
We did it only after 10 years
The time was ripe to go.
The most isolated city in the world
The following distances are
Adelaide 2000 km on the east coast, 3500 km to Darwin in the north
and 3000 km to
Bali
We underwent the following wonders:
The light. Only artists will understand this. Very special
We felt immediately at home
The freedom as quests, the hospitality from Leo and Kerrie,
10 years since we met Leo, they told us: “Our house is your house”
The nice station, so clean, so old, so friendly, so efficient
The city of Perth with its 1.200.000 residents, her shopping streets
The friendly TV with almost only “domestic broadcasting”
The roads, so clean, so wide, so endless, her nature strips, so nicely planted
Fremantle, her port, even the name sounds romantic... Fremantle....
Cappuccino Strip in the 19th century
So colorful, so nicely restored, so relaxed.
The pleasant people: ”where are you going, mate”?
The distances....endless
Australiana, the love and pride of their land
The fruits, the vegetables, the meat, the fish, the wines, the beers
The long black with some hot milk on the side
The pubs, the wineries, the plains, the hills
The houses small and large, all palaces
Streets have lanes, so wide, so green
The vegetations, eucalyptus, gum, peppermint trees, the black boys
Kangaroos, wallabies, quokkas and the dream: koalas!
The wineries, the olive groves, the cattle-sheep and deer stations
The nature parks, the distances, the mild climate
14.000 km of endless beaches with toilets all over, all clean...
The islands, the rivers, the lagoons, the sea, so turquoise
So many terraces, mainly full, even in winter
It seems that everyone is rich. Australia, everybody told us that we had to visit
you,
but no one could ever convince us.
Till, after 10 years of being so close to you, we decided to go.
And we have fallen in love, no words can ever explain what we felt when we met
you.
We only feel sorry for one thing: Why we have waited so long...... |
