Hopeful Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Mmmmm nothing major- more sorting out of what to take and what not to take, a possible bike ride if weather permitting and a little celebrating winning a new work contract!

ali Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Well it's a long weekend here as we had Anzac day yesterday, so a lot of people would have gone to ceremonies yesterday - about 40,000 turned up for the dawn service in Kings Park. Tonight I'm going seeing Michael Buble - never seen him before and going with friends for dinner then the show. Tomorrow, I'm off to Bunbury to watch my son play football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frets Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Got boring old food shopping to do, then might have a run to Hillary's, then maybe out for dinner, tomorrow we're heading to Claremont Showgrounds for the Vintage Polka Dot Markets. For those of you in Perth it's well worth it, even my 16 yr old daughter enjoyed it. It brings back a lot of happy memories spotting toys etc from my child hood. It's on today and tomorrow, it costs $6 to get in. They have homemade crafts to, ideal for picking up gifts etc if you have any birthdays coming up, or preparing early for Xmas, also it's Mothers Day here on May 11th. Oh and waiting for some of the rain they keep promising us, not much so far!! Whatever your doing hope it's a good one ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlaunay Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Got the kids up at 4.45 yesterday and walked up the hill with Freo to the memorial. Stood in silence for an hour or so, watched the sun burn off the cloud and thought of old friends, new friends and a great many incredible people. Today was tidy up day so we all mucked in and then had tea while watching The Great Escape. Tonight we were at the nib to watch Western Force beat the Bulls. Tomorrow is the school busy bee and then I plan to cook a spiced pot roast with a mountain of creamy mash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi where is Claremont we are in Rockingham is it far we only been here a day .Looking for things to do. Deb Claremont is close to the city. To get there would be a bout 45 mins by car, or by public transport about 40 mins on the train to the city then a short bus ride. Check out the Transperth web site for train and bus times. What sort of things do you want to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Not really sure at the moment would love to go to the wineries, don't want to spent too much money until we know OH as a job.But we want to explore this lovely place. We have a car for two weeks so we want to have a good look at the areas to see if Rockingham is where we want to settle Deb[ QUOTE=verystormy;98164]Claremont is close to the city.

I remember getting up early as a kid for the ANZAC parades, and as I grew older became part of them, mind you living in South Hedland at the time.

verystormy Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well, there are some closer than you think. There are a couple not for from Rockingham and some in Mandurah. A nice run out is head to mandurah and turn onto Pinjarra road and head towards Pinjarra. Follow the sign for the heritage centre and have a wonder round there - lots to see and nice cafe for a cheap lunch. Then, coming back up Pinjarra road, you will see the sign for the winery. You can also eat here, but more expensive. Then, a bit further on closer to Mandurah on the right you will see the sign for the chocolate factory and miniture village. The chocolate is wonderful, if a tad expensive. The also do amazying deserts and cakes Not really sure at the moment would love to go to the wineries, don't want to spent too much money until we know OH as a job.But we want to explore this lovely place.
