Heath Ledger's family will hold a private funeral in his hometown of Perth before he is laid to rest at Karakatta Cemetery in the family plot. A source has revealed that Ledger's parents, Kim and Sally, have declined an offer from his former high school, Guildford Grammar, to hold a public memorial service in its chapel, reports News.com.au. However, the school's chapel might still be used if the Ledger family opts for a public memorial service in the future. Guildford Grammar's director of community relations, Graeme Plumber, said that the school understood why the actor’s family took the decision of holding a private funeral. The school thought that his family probably wanted ‘the dignity of a very private funeral after all the publicity’ surrounding his death. It is unclear whether Ledger's ex-fiance Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda will fly to Perth for the funeral. Ledger's ‘Brokeback Mountain’ co

10 juli De Pinnacles in Nambung National Park lichten prachtig op in de zonsopgang. Het gesteente is meer geel dan rood. Deze kleur is erg ongebruikelijk in Australië of te wel the Red Continent. Het formaat van the Pinnacles is niet imponerend, maar het aantal is wel zeer indrukwekkend. Vooral als je er tussen door kunt scheuren terwijl een ijzige wind over de vlakte jaagt. We hebben de cam...
Road Trip Day 24: 15th June 2007The one thing I wanted to do whilst visiting Perth was spend a day on my own, riding the train to visit the Perth CBD and Fremantle. Today was that day.When I head out on my own I don't really do much except walk and observe. I enjoy walking and I like to get out and see how places have changed from when I was there last.My morning started with a fairly long walk to the train station. On the way I passed through , what I imagine, is one of the largest Westfield Shopping Malls in the country. It's nearly big enough to have its own postcode. The Westfield was built before I left Perth. Apart from looking a little more lived in, it looked pretty much the same. Maybe a different shop here and there but that's about all.I was a little worried that the trains ticketing system might be all different and I'd have to spend some time relearning it, however the basic system was unchanged. Put your money in a machine on the platform to buy your ticket. There is
Road Trip Day 23: 14th June 2007Today I accompanied my Dad as he drove around the suburbs, just south of the Perth CBD, between jobs as a general home maintanance person. Through the course of the day we covered a fair bit of ground.Something I noticed is that Perth seems to have really embraced 'prefabricated architecture'. Designing all shapes of building variations from your basic concrete box i.e. all the walls are made from prefabricated concrete slabs made to order. Everything from multi-storey apartments to huge commercial premises, all with unique styling, just to break up the expanse of concrete wall slabs.Some buildings actually looked quite good whilst others displayed limited imagination beyond four walls. The only thing that lets these buildings down is that they are so obviously prefabricated. Which says something about the building not being quite so 'hand made' as they used to be, where a brickie would literally build a house brick by brick.Perhaps it's just a sign
Road Trip Day 20: 11th June 2007Cockatoos.This morning, at Rose's house, I was just about to start organising my breakfast when I heard a commotion in the backyard that was familiar and clearly a flock of Cockatoos (a species of parrot) feasting on the larger trees. Familiar because I've heard this sound many times in my home town of Gawler with the white cockatoos we get there.I wouldn't even mention it except that when I went out to have a look (because watching all the debris rain down from the tree tops being stripped by cockatoos is quite a sight) I saw this was a flock of black cockatoos with yellow patches on each side of their heads (roughly where their ears might be if you could see bird ears). I've never seen black cockatoos doing this, not in my home town, nor have I ever seen it in Western Australia.I tried to take a few photos but the birds were too high up to get a good shot. The photo shown here is about the best I managed.Perth Driving.Since being back in Perth I'v
Road Trip Day 17: 8th June 2007West of Coolgardie is the Eastern end of the Great Eastern Highway. The road to Perth, Western Australia. When Rose and I turned into our motel last night the car headlights had picked out some curious characters across the road. Before heading off the next morning we just had to investigate.Rose and I have been sticking with Central Standard Time (rather than change to Western Standard Time) in order to get earlier starts. This meant we had plenty of time to have a quick wander around, what turned out to be 'Ben Prior's Park', an outdoor museum featuring many historical machines and characters from the early gold rush days of the Coolgardie region.One such character was this prospector, A.P. Brophy and his camel 'Misery'. Brophy is remembered for claiming the world record for riding his camel 600 miles without giving it a single drink back in 1895.There are other characters in this museum but the majority of the display is old steam engines, wagons,
