Sadly the trip was not fruitful as Rupan had come home for an interview that she didn't get - still, it was lovely to see family and get out of the heat for a while! Steve was shocked at how smelly Rupan was on her return but was very pleased to see her (after she had had a shower!)

Steve had to fend for himself here in Fremantle (Rupan had stocked the fridge with food so that he wouldn't go hungry) as he had first and second round interviews with Bankwest and is still waiting to hear the outcome.....
On Wednesday night, Charlie and Jo Giddings arrived for a long weekend from Brisbane. They hired a car and went down the coast to Margaret River for a couple of days.
Thursday the 26th January was Australia Day and we celebrated by watching the fireworks in Perth from a vantage point in King's Park. The Fireworks display was fairly impressive, particularly because there was a thunder and lightning storm going on at the same time! Rupan even managed to capture some of it on video.

Friday was the last day for the registrars in Freo so we had a leaving do. We started off in the Blue Room (Doctor's mess with VERY cheap drinks) after work and carried on into town for a bit of a boogie - well some of us danced, Steve stood by the bar and sampled his first Aussie Guinness...
The heat has been a little unbearable reaching a peak of 43 degrees! We ended up having to buy a couple of pedestal fans in order to get some sleep!

We also managed to squeeze in a trip to Cottesloe beach with lunch at The Indiana before they had to head to Brisbane.
