Believe me Phil, the tea here is mostly BAD except for the teabags we brought with us from home! ;0)

There’s nothing wrong with a good, northern cup of milky, gross brew!

If you happen to be somewhere that has a Hogs Breath, I strongly suggest you take up the opportunity for some fine steak (if you’re into that kind of thing!).

To clear up one point, watery milky brews are Northern speak for gross cups of tea!!

Sorry I didn’t meet “the wife” when I spoke with Mark in Perth earlyier in the week.

I’ll second the sentiment re wifi in Australia - it is a total disgrace - overpriced and hard to find.
Hope to see you in Sydney in a couple of weeks

Fosters on tap? There’s nary a person in Australia that a) drinks the stuff, or 2) has even seen it.

It’s definitely not an Australian beer to Australians!

But, do beware the boot.

Wish I could have made it to the talk Mark. Looking forward to the podcast when it becomes available.

Glad you enjoyed Perth! Wi-Fi access is a rarity around here.

Can’t comment on the beer but will agree with James in regards to the flies.

Come back soon eh?

To get free internet access in Perth all you needed to do was cross over the railway line and visit the state library, free internet access though some sites, including some webmail sites are blocked.

The other bad news is it is in the library so you have to use their PCs, no food, no noise and no uploading, but it is free and you could of left Mark there and gone into the Art Gallery across the plaza (on vice a versa)

wi-fi access in Australia, particularly Perth is not easy to find or cheap.

beer - little creatures and the matilda bay brewery product line (rooftop red, bees knees etc.) are not milkly and can be found in a number of pubs, but not all.

Enjoyed Mark’s presentation on Tuesday.

I’ve got to hand it to Marky boy, he’s becoming a CSS superstar these days, can’t look at a CSS website without hearing the Boulton name. Well done mate, how did the talk go down at Port 80 btw?, I saw a few photos including expected soft? beverages at:

By the way Katie’s leaving http://www.6721.co.uk and I sent an invite, I’m guess you and ‘The Wife’ won’t be able to make next Friday :)

Hope you’re having a great time and if you should meet a 50 year old by chance in Cairns called Majorie Thorpe, say hello as she’s my Great Aunt. You never know.

Please tell me you’re going to try to get across to Rottnest Island or, at the very least, wander around Fremantle.

Brad is right, Little Creatures is fantastic. The rest of the local beer does have a lot to be desired! Did you notice the lack of Fosters on tap?

Public transport is cheap and plentiful as long as it’s not a Sunday, then you’re stuck!

And as for the ants, lucky you’re not there for the depths of summer, the cockroaches and flies are far worse!
