perth / monday / 2028
jet lag is strange. i woke up this morning after 8 hours asleep, and immediately felt really tired (it was coming up to late evening back in the uk). i'm sure the energy will be there for tonight's show, but i could hardly stay awake at soundcheck, let alone play the drums, as the fans outside might have noticed. it was the same yesterday - i had to go for a walk just to stay awake; my eyes had stopped working properly. i don't remember being this jet-lagged last time we were here. maybe my eyes were so tired because i watched the last 9 episodes of deadwood series 3 on the way out, and the whole of the second series of peep show. both utterly fabulous. deadwood makes me swear more and want to drink whisky (though in reality i can't stomach the stuff, and i already swear too much).
enough babbling... here are a few photos. haven't seen any snakes or spiders yet (thankfully), but here's what i have seen.
one of the world's richest known sources of vitamin b, apparently

we flew in past some fierce looking bush fires, apparently very common out this way, especially with the terrible drought.
weirdly prison-like apartment block, til you see the bmx
perth is a very modern city, with a quite american feel to some of the buildings. it's very clean, and has tons of public green space, and loads of annoyingly healthy-looking people.

rob is the king of signs. i find this one particularly disturbing.
