The beach rocks!

No pics sorry

Nice hot 40'C day, water cool enough to be refreshing, but not so cold you can't get in.
Tasty chips.
GF was shopping so free to ogle everything out there
WA is teh winnar

Only downside was that they were having some daft sculpture contest, so half the grassed area was covered in little mounds of plastic bags (wtf?), there was a huge aluminium whale skelton sculpture half-buried in the sand, etc. And of course groups of school kids being dragged around to look at them

99% of my perfect day at the beach, and i thought i'd share it with you. :laugh:

that's probably as hot as we get it, i think we've had a 43'C in perth, but they usually come along in mid summer (december/jan).

42 C = 107 F. Something isn't quite right here.

[FoBoT]

if the humidity is very low, 107F is ok for the beach

I have found the problem - you used an ambiguous abbreviation - WA.

Lucky bastard.

My wife and I would love to visit Perth, WA Australia one day.

Funny that it costs the same to fly LA to Sydney than it does to fly Sydney to Perth.

42 C is friggin hot. We get highs of upper 30's here in mid-summer and that's hot as hell. I sure hope you don't get too much humidity; that's what makes it so uncomfortable here in Cancun when the temps are high. I like low 30's the best (upper 80's to low 90's F).

I guess it's 'cos it's a very long way, and a very low volume route
My folks have just moved over to Canberra, and i don't get to see them more than a couple times a year 'cos airfares are so pricey. It's been over a year since i have flown however, as i've driven over and back the last few times i've gone home

Now that is an experience everyone has to do at least once, drive across the Nullarbor from WA to those strange Eastern States :beer:

damn you, it's -9 here
