Winter in Perth
Irishwingz as a compatriot of yours, I might suggest you get on the auld sunbed and catch a few rays there cos you'll be landing right in the middle of the Perth Summer (give or take a week or several) and knowing full well that Ireland's 40 shades of green didn't come about by soaring temperatures!! Suffice to say the babes will be aplenty especially at the nightclubs and at the beaches.
Did you catch any of the coverage of the Worldflight 2003 by Paul Ryan and Alan McMahon during or after they touched down at Shannon? Met up with them in Broome for a few hours. Brave, brave men but thrilled for them that they completed it, and all in a wee single, too.
I may be home in Ireland at Xmas (it'll be weird not wearing shorts and going for a swim) and intend hiring a plane from Eglinton (I'm Fear na gContae Doire) and doing a wee jaunt around the north coast and maybe down to Connemara
