Go to the beach and do some wine tours. It will be hot but dry.

Great. Will definitely go down to Northbridge. Any recommended bars or restaurants?

As for the beach, will be taking surfing lessons at least twice. We'll be doing the wine tours as well.

Also, if you make it out to Rottnest Island, don't swing any quokkas by the tail. The local authorities frown pretty heavily on that.

Large Italian population now assimilated but brought their cuisine which is great. Fremantle has a great bar and restaurant scene.

SporeAg, thanks a lot and will definitely look into the Fremantle.

Hollywood, I was hoping that Wiki would have had an article about your story... will try to recreate it though if it all possible

Link to Quokka throwing article
It happened just when I moved to Australia but I don't think that's the only time it's been news with Rugby players.

quote:
POLICE on the Perth island of Rottnest are investigating claims Western Force rugby players mistreated protected quokkas at the weekend.

The Rottnest Island Authority said it had received complaints from tourists that players from the Super 14 outfit were seen throwing the small marsupials, FOX SPORTS News reported.

It is believed the team were at a training camp at Rottnest’s Kingston Barracks when the alleged mistreatment of the animals occurred.

Quokkas are native to Rottnest Island and are a protected species. Mistreatment can lead to fines of up to $10,000.
