Hi From Perth, Western Australia

[JoshWA]

Jim, I think I've told this story on here before but, a friend of mine was on a submarine and they were headed to Perth for a 3 day shore leave. It was announced in the local papers and when they arrived, there were women lining the port. In 3 days, 3 guys got married somehow and 2 more got engaged. Love at first sight? or 3 day sight? LOL
This was back in the mid 1980's.

Mate, the Women still line the streets when the USN ships come in... the lads must think all their christmas have come at once. We had the USS Carl Vinson in at Freo last year and it was pandemonium, one of my work mates used to be on it when he was in the USN and he was telling me about his various port calls :shocked:. It certainly makes for a good night out when you've got 5000 blokes looking to party.

On another note we are located about 40 miles outside of Perth to the East which is a nice quiet change from when we used to live in the suburbs....

Been to Perth/Fremantle many times. Once while attached to the USS Enterprise, was adopted by a aussie family for a few days had the time of my life being shown around the city, playing golf and even given a tour to see the American Cup.

Welcome to TBN. I have been in Perth many times in past 20 years. I do a lot of work for oil and gas so I was usually on my way to Karratha in Pilbara or south to Kwinana.
One time I was released from my job but the client insisted I stay in the area on standby for some time. My wife flew in and we did some driving in the desert east of Karratha and then around Perth. We stayed in nice B&B in Kalamunda. Australia is my favorite country to visit. Great country and great people.
