Perth to Victor Harbour

Been extremely busy since Townsville. Had an opportunity to go to Perth for a staff meeting . It was great because I got to catch up with our other trainers and catch up with the goss. We also had a visiting techo from Atlanta, USA to discuss the finer points of the polyvision board. Unfortunately we had a little too much merriment after work at the various pubs we took our visitor too. The photo above is from my hotel overlooking the outer suburbs of Perth.
Last week I flew to South Australia and drove to Mt Compass. I arrived early so I decided to continue on to Victor harbour. Quite a nice little spot. One can see they are starting to develop it for tourists and possibly retirement residents.

The drive down there was lovely. Adelaide has had a fair bit of rain so all the fields were green.
On the way back from Victor Harbour I stopped at a look out just as I was entering Mount Compass and took these pictures. I was lucky that I stayed with a teacher from Mt Compass Area school. They had a great house and were excellent hosts. They told me that Mout Compass is the wettest area in South Australia. They never need to water their gardens and have never been on water restrictions.
