Sanctuary Cove for many years was our favourite holiday destination. Loved the surroundings, atmosphere & service. In the very beginning they had little club lounges dotted around with a happy hour - you'll recall it's built in what was a pretty swampy area so a wonderful breeding ground for mozzies. So happy hour started at 5 and at 5.30 along would come the little golf buggy squirting out clouds of mozzie repellent which rolled like fog over the lounge - it must have had a kerosene or similar base, absolutely disgusting and a signal for everyone to bolt to their rooms. One way of keeping costs down!

Having my company annual event / party today, usually we use the funds for a Christmas markets trip but alas that wasn't possible. So.. party at home instead!


We won't be going hungry

I still remember the Hyatt days and the mozzies. Not like that now.

The afternoon tea view.

PJM's day off today. We had been thinking of slipping down to Margaret River yesterday afternoon for today but another tropical low rainy weather system coming S caused a reassessment. So, off to the new PER museum for a few hours.

Our first visit since it opened in November, after many years of no museum in PER. It's in Northbridge on the site of the original 19th century version.

It was good to see the blue whale skeleton that was always a highlight of a visit to the museum for many generations of kids.

Not part of the museum, but the old Swan Barracks across the road.

From a PERfect day on the beach yesterday.

It looks like some pretty serious installations in store at this year's Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe, opening Friday.

Not sure what all of the fuss is about with the NASA photos from Mars - the so called "Mars Rover" is going about it's business in plain sight just near the old East Anglian country pile. This is possibly the most exciting thing I have seen for almost 5 months.

I use to live about a 100 mts down the beach from there back in the 70's.

And I used to live in Myrtle Rd a street back from the reserve near the Seaclff pub

A hopeful local and nearby scenes, Spring Bay.

Not my window (I'm one cubicle over) but close enough to be the view from my office!

 

[JohnM]

Awww... a PERfectly cute little baby dugite on the path at Swanbourne Beach today.

Edit: it was about 25cm long.

Morning at my Margaret River office at Gnarabup Beach for a couple of days. Bit of work, but some relaxation as haven't been away in ages. Heading to Vasse Felix later but just a simple wine lounge lunch and gallery visit. Probably no wine for me at lunch as the police seem to be doing lots of daytime breath testing around town. Never mind I will bring a bottle back for the evening and some to take home.

With a spot of deforestation it would almost be a dream view. This morning I'll be working from my office at the Doubletree on Junction 2 of the M6. What more could anyone want in a view - a speed bump, orange cone, prime hotel service road view and beyond the trees one can gaze at traffic bustling along the A4600.



...and yes that is a showcase cinema complex in the background.

Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe was, unsurprisingly, a bit light on this year.

Some of the massive earthmoving observed last week (post #16126) ended up being a bit of an anticlimax.

The scaffolding at the end of the groyne turned out to be the sculpture (representing a wave)



Again, the scaffolding in the massive hole turned out to be the sculpture...

The rocket, the tree and the girl are my fav 3.
