I am in Western Australia to watch my Dad race the Ironman on Sunday, December 7th, which I hope to liveblog, but we’ll see what kind of connectivity I can get in the somewhat small town of Busselton.  It took nearly 40 hours of travel to get into Perth from Raleigh, most of that in the air!  We stayed in Perth just one night, and then drove down to Busselton (about 3 hours away) the following day.

From our hotel in Perth we walked down to the river front and had dinner at an excellent restaurant called Halo’s.  The concierge had told me it was “Australian fare” but it was much more “gourmet” than we expected.
