Waiting game

The road to the Perth Domestic Terminal

Have you ever driven to Perth airport and noticed the lines of cars along the main drag leaving to the car park?

They are nearly always there and today I am one of them.

I am picking up a colleague’s wife who is coming down to Perth for treatment.

Her flight is coming in at five past nine and I’m early.

It’s a typical scenario, no doubt replicated elsewhere, where there is nowhere to park at the airport if you are picking someone up except of course at the vastly overpriced short term car park.

Well… there’s room for about eight cars… maybe.

So I wonder why airport designers or local government don’t just cater for it.

Widen the area on the side of the road slightly.

Or at least make the edge of the road less sharp… thought I might burst a tyre.

Just to make it a bit safer.

Make it standing only.

Or am I being ridiculous?

As pretty as an airport*

Airports aren’t known for their aesthetics – well, apart from Vancouver which is outstanding – but I discovered that we do have at least one very nicely designed airport in Western Australia, and in an unlikely place.

Why I think Geraldton is an unlikely place no doubt comes from some regional prejudice I must harbour towards the town which I haven’t rated for it’s design qualities in the past (although the new foreshore is a dramatic improvement).

It’s the Greenough airport, and it is a very pleasant experience indeed.  High ceilings, an aquarium, a display of aeronautic history – it feels more like a trendy museum than an airport.

Back home baby!

Yes I’m home. Reluctantly boarding the plane after walking through the airport which looks like a pub… a tropical resort pub.

Hey guess what? I was randomly selected to…

… no, not move into Business Class. I wish…

… get tested for explosives! Because you know, I look highly suspect. Yes, yes the man was quite pleasant, said he was checking to see if anyone had tampered with my luggage – but you still feel a bit well, special, not in a good way.

They stick this little rod thing with a piece of sticky tape on the end on your hands, near your pockets, in the pockets of your cases and finally in a little machine which can read traces of TNT and Nitroglycerine and presumably stuff like plastic explosives. Glad I don’t work in road building where they have to blow up rock to clear the way…

As expected I was clear to go. An interesting experience but not as nice as the explosive puffy machine in the Statue of Liberty which made my hair go floolf. Nothing like a little floolf I’ve always said…

Anyway I’m waiting for my Flip to download some videos… yawn… back soon when they are cooked. 🙂

Sandflies and Geckos

I’m in Broome.  At the station.  Sitting at the kitchen table with my laptop.  There’s a quiet moment.  My meetings still an hour away so I thought I’d check in with you my lovelies and get you up to date with my travels.

Arrived yesterday around 6pm.  It was HOT.  Sure it’s hot in Perth but add 67-70% or more humidity and it really is offensively hot.  I was wearing jeans and high heels and my feet started slipping in them within seconds.

Broome airport by the way, isn’t airconditioned.  It looks like a resort hotel, Kimberley style.  All corrugated iron and pergola like timber decoration.  Palm trees and yeah, that relaxed, slip into Broome time feel.

Found my little hire car on the grass lawn at the side of the car park and then drove around reaquainting myself with the town – I haven’t been here since 1994.

Sun Pictures – the outdoor cinema – isn’t where I remember it.  My mind must have been playing tricks on me.  The shopping areas of Old Broome are lovely – although all closed by 6 last night.  Covered verandahs, corrugated iron, a real colonial feel.  Okay I’ll take some photos and add them in later.

I’m staying at Moonlight Bay Residential Apartments.  And they are pretty nice.  Apparently some have spas.  Mine doesn’t.  It has a pool and a big grassed area that looks over the mangrove to the sea.

We went to Zanders for tea last night.  Zanders is next door to the Cable Beach Resort and overlooks Cable Beach.  It’s one of those modern cafe style restaurants, licensed.  I had a chicken laksa which was good.  Overly sized and I couldn’t finish it though.

One of my favourite things so far is Goolari TV.  A community station run by the local Aboriginal broadcaster Goolari Media.  Really engaging, local stories.  Made you feel you were in Broome.

Have I mentioned I’m in Broome?

Shared my shower with a little gecko – that’s supposed to be good luck.

Got to work and saw the sandfly bites on one of the techs – he’s allergic to their wee or something.  Nasty!
