I am enjoying a visit in Perth, WA, to spend time with Bec, Steve, Rosie and Creed. I love being able to walk Rosie and Creed to school etc. Things we miss so much. The weather is perfect, warm with an occasional shower today, although I miss the slight chill on the face we experience in Tassie. Both Creed and Rosie are growing so quickly. Although there is 2 years difference between their ages, they are the same size !!! They look like twins and are best of friends.
Yesterday, we spent Father’s Day out at the airport where Steve is an air traffic controller. It’s a fun place to visit, especially as VIP’s with access to the tower !!!!

Singapore Airlines and China Southern Airlines, both have training facilities for learner pilots here. Singapore has about 200 trainees a year while China has approximately 150. The tower averages 700 planes a day, with 2400 being the busiest recorded day.... busy with only 3 controllers rostered on at a time !!! Steve is the contoller on the right of the photo.
Bec, Steve, Rosie, Creed and I were lucky enough to enjoy a meal at Greenhouse St Georges Terrace Perth.
It is an incredible restaurant….. Very unique.
After opening in Melbourne, designer Joost Bakker teamed up with Perth based restaurant and cocktail professional Paul Aron, and Jason Chan (2005 Age Barista of the year and owner of Melbourne’s Seamstress and Batch) to offer up a mouth watering ‘new kid on the block’ in Perth’s CBD.
Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace is one of Perth’s most exciting destinations, with the emphasis on tasty, honest food and drink, and some simple ideas for a considerate and non destructive lifestyle. Bec and Steve all over !!!
Like its predecessor, Greenhouse St. Georges Terrace has its frame made from roll formed steel coil. Its cladding and surfaces, raw and unashamed, are made from plywood and recycled plastic. Hundreds of straw-bales in the walls and ceilings provide insulation. Vertical gardens spill greenery from the walls, and an abundant roof-top garden produces fresh ingredients for the kitchen and bar, and provides a serene place to escape the rat race.
With the natural essence and quirky beauty of Joost Bakker’s design at the heart of this building, Perth’s Greenhouse offers a variety of spaces, fixtures, objects and atmospheres to warm your heart and nourish your soul.
