Day 78 Monday 29th August

This morning we said goodbye to Paul and Heather as they were  heading south in their van. They had arrived a few days before us and need to be back in Adelaide by mid-September so they needed to start moving. Rob, Jas and I went for a drive down to a lovely spot called Hillary's Boat Harbour. It was a  very extensive marina full off boats and surrounded by many small shops. Rob counted over 20 different places to eat at. We stopped for a coffee and Jas and I spent some time in the nice little clothes shops. We drove on from here, heading to Kings Park which is a huge park that overlooks the Swan River and the tall buildings in the city area of Perth.  We went for a walk through part of the park and stopped at a cafe for lunch. After this we visited the shop and gallery. It was full of the most beautiful pieces of glass sculptures, books, wooden sculptures, knitted goods, jewelry etc. etc It was all of an extremely high standard I spent quite a bit of time in the shop. We walked into part of  the Botanic gardens which were part of Kings Park. Many of the beautiful Western Australian wildflowers were on display  and were quite stunning.  We returned to the car and Rob drove us out to tbe Perth Airport as unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Jasmine. She needed to fly back to Adelaide and back to work tomorrow. It had been so lovely having her stay with us for the past 3 nights and joining in with Rob’s birthday celebrations.
