Connecting in Perth

It was good to spend a few days catching up with people we have shared with in previous days.

Connections WA was a great opportunity to touch base with some of the officers I had taught when they were in college, and to catch up with some who have worked nearby in various appointments.

Perth is an interesting city with the coast nearby, and the coastal plains stretching east and north.
I'm not sure how you make a city livable without creating miles and miles of suburbia. The City of Perth is certainly making an effort to retain open spaces, with many bushland reserves along the coast, and lots of bike trails for the energetic. We were energetic on Saturday morning and rode about 10 kms. It was good that we took a break for coffee at North Beach, about half way through our ride.

We did enjoy connecting, and the meeting on Sunday gave food for thought, but more of that some other time,
