This was a Boeing 737 which had its exterior painted to resemble the livery of Qantas in the 1960's. The bikes survived and we checked in to Hotel Pensione, a hotel in central Perth. We reassembled the bikes and then went for a walk around Perth which was in the midst of its Perth International Arts Festival ("PIAF") and ended up having a tapas style meal at the Petition. Over 100 years ago, petitioners would gather in the centre of Perth to lobby for causes they believe in. They would march down the terrace, lining the building where Petition now stands. This building has now undergone an amazing transformation and offers a range of restaurants, wine bars, beer bars, all very tastefully done.
We met up with cousin Margaret and her husband, Mike who took us to lunch at their yacht club. Afterwards we visited a spritely 96-year-old Aunt Dorothy. That evening was spent preparing our panniers for the departure the next day.
