I’m back in Darwin after an awesome (but exhausting week).

It all started on monday, with our flight being delayed for a couple of hours. As we finally arrived in Perth, I jost got to my room and slept, because the next flight was scheduled at 5 am the next day. After our flight to Curtin we changed planes from a Boeing 737 to a small Cesna. This last flight finally had Koolan Island as destination. It was very impressing ’cause of the nice view. Especially the shore was almost like paradise.

Paradise?

As we arrived on the island we worked the whole day. Work itself wasn’t very interesting the first day- but the things I saw were. For example the very big gear they use on a mine site, like trucks:

The next day was more interesting because it was a boat trip planned around the island. On the boat we discovered half of the island and saw some interesting places. After that, when we were back on the island, I was able to take some pictures of interesting gear (and myself):

On the last day on the island I was also able to take a picture of the very beautiful sunset:

On thursday we got back to Perth and had a meeting there. In the arvo we went to the little creatures brewery in fremantle. The next day (and the last day of the trip) we again had a meeting. After that there was still some time left to go to kings park and I had a look at the Perth skyline:

It was a great trip and I took a lot of pictures. You can find them all here.
