There are also caves to explore, historic buildings and you can learn more about the local Noongar culture at the Wangi Mia Meeting Place. There’s also no shortage of western grey kangaroos who are guaranteed visitors at dawn and dusk.īring a picnic and walking shoes and make use to the picnic spots and walking trails for the perfect day trip around Perth. ![]() If you’re looking for a place near Perth to see Kangaroos and Koalas other than the zoo, then Yanchep national park is a great place to come face to face with these cute marsupials.Īlthough not native to West Australia, you can get a close-up view of Koalas along the 240 metre Koala Boardwalk. Tip: Plan to arrive before 11 am on weekends and public holidays as the rangers frequently close the park to new visitors after this time during the busy seasons. If it’s not too hot, take the 16km Kitty’s Gorge walk trail in Serpentine National Park and visit the historic town of Jarrahdale on your way home. This is a great natural attraction with a waterfall and rock-pools that are perfect for swimming. You know those hot days when you want to cool down but just don’t feel like going to the beach – too sandy, too sunny, too many waves? That’s exactly when Serpentine Falls is the perfect place to go for a cool down. Tip: Visit the historic precinct behind the visitors’ centre and don’t miss having a drink at the Crown and Rose Hotel- WA’s oldest pub. Think cottage craft, vintage shops, cozy cafes and high tea. It still holds an old-school appeal with its many colonial and heritage buildings. Usually classed as the gateway to the Swan Valley, the historic town of Guildford definitely deserves its own day out.īest known for its antique and vintage shops, the quaint town that was one of the first settlements along the Swan River. See my other tips about how to spend a day in the Swan Valley here or check this page for some Swan Valley Tour options. Also, try to avoid going on a Monday as many things are shut. Tip: It’s best to choose a cooler day to explore the Swan Valley as it’s always hotter than along the coast. Meander along the 32km long Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail and sample the many wineries, breweries, cafes, gourmet shops and galleries along this scenic loop. Best of all you can get there without the hassle of a long drive. The Swan Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions and makes for an indulgent day trip from Perth. Won’t do any more than I have to at mo cos summer soon and kids hols start make most of my time off with them.A short drive away from Perth city will get you to the beautiful Swan Valley. ![]() If so then at least one set of rules I can use to my advantage over winter to get extra shift in on my 4/4 rota if say your breaks over a minimum 69hrs ie 45+24 and is done in a continuous break then you can split that time to use first 45 for week 1 and then the other 24+ for a reduced week 2? If it’s a normal 45 weekly that crosses 2 weeks then you can use it for either week but obviously not both. Sorry Tachograph but I’m being thick( again) If he had 5 days off in one go as rest don’t you have to count it for one of the weeks it crosses over but not both?Ī weekly rest period that crosses two weeks can be used for either but not both weeks, but you can have back to back weekly rest periods.Ī rest period of 69 hours that crosses two weeks can be counted as a regular weekly rest period for week 1 and a reduced weekly rest period for week 2, likewise a weekly rest period of 90 hours that crosses 2 weeks can be used as regular 45 hour weekly rest periods for both weeks. Another example is weekend breaks start Monday morning and you can only take one 24hr break before you have to take another 45hr break, start Wednesday morning and you can do two 24hr breaks because the Monday and Tuesday before you started are counted as a 45hr break in your 2 week period, but the man starting Monday morning may have had 5 days off prior to starting yet it counts for nothing.ĭcgpx wrote:Thought you couldn’t split breaks? That's true, but when he's done his Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues he can't do another one until the following Monday - so he couldn't do that every week.Īgreed but my point being is that the wise people who came up with these rules probably deemed that driving 40 hours over 4 days ( or if you take 3 x 9hr breaks over 3 days) was unsafe and thereby brought in the restriction of 2 in a fixed week yet still allow you to do 4 back to back. Which just goes to show how much thought went into the regs, so a man starts Monday morning and it is illegal for him to do 4 back to back 10 hour drives yet a man who starts Saturday morning can do 4 back to back 10 hour drives ![]()
