Perth visit…..

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 !!!!

New member to the family, Fletcher ( a Ridgeback / Kelpie cross)..... so cute, but hide your shoes !

At work in the tower .... a very busy, and I imagine at times, very stressful spot. 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.

  1. Steve looks relaxed. Are you sure he’s awake? Great to see you having a good time and I liked the pic’s of the restaurant.

    the dog looks like trouble waiting to happen.
