19th Jan

• After a fairly dull beginning of the week, I thought I'd treat myself to something new and having not seen one yet, I thought I may as well see what one tastes like.
• I head to Jus Burger, a fancy-pants burger joint, that do a wide array of burgers and not much else, as the name suggests, and order a Kangaroo burger
• Waiting for it to be lovingly made almost in front of me, with their open plan kitchen, it arrived on a wooden plate, and take a cautiously yet excited bite.
• Hmm, nothing special.

Day's Verdict: Disappointing.

20th Jan

• Headed up north to a friend's house for a relaxed night of authentic Aussie bar-be, beers and biltong.

Day's Verdict: Meat heavy.

21st Jan

• Morning spent down at the brilliant Trigg Beach as the waves were up, and without a board, body surfing was our only option.
• Surf competition ensued and coming a consistent second was all I could manage.
• Evening brought a thrilling game, the semi-final of the Big Bash Cup 20/20 cricket, amongst Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Stars
• Perth won!
• Went out for a Chinese afterwards, which was, a bit shit, but didn't ruin the high spirits.

Day's Verdict: Typically Australian (minus the Chinese).

• Relaxed breakfast
• Leisurely walk to Harbour Town, a discount shopping mall.
• Laid back session of swimming in friend's a pool
• End the day by taking a break and having some pizza

Day's Verdict: Tranquillized.
