| In November 2007 We spent a week in Perth which was part work and part holiday. Bob attended a GHD Geotechnical seminar for the first three days then we had four days holidays. |

The GHD Geotechnics party at the Harvey Dam south of Perth |
| While we were in Perth the Red Bull Air Races were beng staged. This international event was an added bonus to the trip especially as there was no entry fee |  |

| We Managed to get over to Rottnest Island off the coast from Perth. The name is derived from the Dutch who described the small marsupial Quokka's as rats. The Island is a fauna and flora sanctuary, with abundant accomodation and a real retreat for quiet holiday |  |

 |
| We took a trip down to Margaret River, the notable wine growing region of Western Australia. A busy day saw us sample wine in a vineyard, visit an Eagle sanctuary, and go underground in Mammoth Cave. At the south west tip of Australia you could say Janet and Bob were oceans apart |  |
