0930 (15508 km) Happy Birthday HM! Had toast and croissant for breakfast. Went to Miss Maud Shop Outlet to buy some pastries. There were some good sausage rolls and cakes. Bought pieces of Black Forrest and Chocolate Mud Cake and White Chocolate Cake for birthday cake.

1030 (15516 km) Had treasure hunt which the kids in particular, MK, organised for birthday. The hunt went all around the house, inside and out.



Kayaking on the Swan River

1315 (15524 km) Went out for picnic at Brown Street park. It is on the Swan River, so we brought fishing gear and kayaks. We cooked BBQ sausages and brought pastries that we bought earlier in the day. There was a playground and quite a large grassy area so the kids could run and play around the area. MH caught a Tarwhine. No one else caught anything but there were quite a few bites. The older kids went out kayaking. At one point MH's fishing hook got caught and CK went out on the kayak to free the line. It was a great location to have a picnic and we had wonderful friends to spend the day with and the weather was gorgeous.

1640 (15524 km) Left the park.





1650 (15532 km) Back at Jimmy's. Started repacking the car as it was our last night at Perth and we had made ourselves so at home at Jimmy's that we had stuff everywhere.

1850 (15533 km) Dinner at Royal Thai Restaurant. It's our family tradition that the b'day person gets to choose the restaurant, and HM has been missing good asian food. Had Toong Tong (money bags), Panang Curry, Grilled Pork Salad, Ka Prow Chicken and rice. The food was good, highly recommended. Even bought some takeaway for Jimmy.
