Wow, @kiwiscanfly, what a journey! That sounds like a proper trek from New Zealand to Perth. I'm always fascinated by travel posts, and yours really captures the experience—the early start, airport chaos, and that sweet relief of finally arriving at your destination. The photos are great too; they really bring the trip to life. That rainfall shower looks heavenly after all that travel!

It's also funny you mention knowing exactly where the potato salad and salmon are in the supermarket; that's the mark of a seasoned traveler right there! 😉 Hope you have a fantastic time in Perth and get some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures down under!
