Perth

Leaving Auckland Savanna on same flight 


Arriving at Perth.  With Janice and Lindsay Ward
Visiting Linda Callaway in her retirement apartment.  With Lynn Sherlock visiting from NSW staff
Lynn and I with our kind hosts Don and Angela Major.  Don is ex-Queensland, Angela is English and was in the work once.  Both were widowed when they met a few years ago.  They took us to the beautiful Kings Park in the middle of Perth.  It has every species of Australian wildflower apparently! Stunning colours
