![]() ![]() Mia's grandparents are from Greece and we were treated to a delightful Greek spread. Finally in the Perth area, we initially stopped in at Mia's grandparents' house to drop off her younger sister who was on school holidays but ended up staying for lunch. However, we had a few stops to make first. I should state that the whole reason we left so early was so we could make it to Perth in time to watch the AFL Grand Final, essentially the super bowl of the Australian Football League. It was really scenic and pretty, especially with a ghostly, towering eucalyptus tree intersperced here and there over the fields. This meant that for much of the way we drove through fields and fields carpeted by bright yellow flowers. Allow me to explain: in addition to sheep and beef cows, Australia's SW also produces a lot of canola, and as it is spring, the canola was flowering. The only good thing about this crack of dawn, four hour drive was A) seeing the sun rise over the inlet as we left my house and B) the fields of gold. I went with Jeff and Mia, while Damo and a few girls went in another car. There were 6 of us going up to ParkLife from Denmark along with a few others hitching to Perth so we took two cars. ![]() Anyways that was night one of little to no sleep. Getting up at work time on a day off, now that's dedication. Keep in mind that I requested off work for that day, and I was normally supposed to be at work at 5am that day. Even though we didn't leave until about 6:45am, we were meant to leave much earlier so I got up at FIVE A.M. The concert being in up in Perth, of course we decided to make a weekend of our trip to the city. We bought our tickets awhile ago, and this past weekend it was finally time to party. ParkLife is an annual outdoor spring music festival held in Perth's Wellington Square, with five stages and over 25 artists lasting from 2pm- past 10pm. haha okay that was lame.įor about a month now, my friends and I have been anticipating ParkLife 2009.
