Even my missus laughed twice aloud when we watched it, so proof if it were ever needed.
Sixth best comedy of all time, my first for link up, continuity innocence, sophistication ah (see how ya missed it now).
Keep Friends outta comedy they have, ran around 4 series too long. Frasier for president, & no come backs even with a latte.

Well in Perth there is adventure world, http://www.adventureworld.net.au/ not been myself so can't comment. And Hillarys has a water park at the marina, which consists of about 4 slides! Not quite your wet 'n' wild, but probably good fun for the young ones!
Scuba diving there is lots of. They are opening a special dive park off the coast in Rockingham where there are a few wrecks. Otherwise if you get the chance to go up to Exmouth and Coral Bay around April-September you can go diving with whale sharks and manta rays!
You also have cables water ski park which is great fun and well worth a visit http://www.holiday-wa.net/cableski.htm

He has never been 100% behind the idea to move to Oz and he now tells me he thinks he would prefer to move to Florida.
This was our 4th visit to Florida and loves the way of life and the climate in Florida amongst other things.
We also had a quick look at house prices whilst we were there and they look on a par to house prices in Oz.
Can anybody comment on how Oz compares to the Florida.
Please tell me that if he loves sunny Florida that he will love Oz, I am trying so hard to convince him that we are making the right move.
Thanks

Diane,
u have made the best choice in my opinion as when on holiday is v differrent from living....there is NO comparison btw Perth and Florida - i can go on for ages but put it this way I have a cousin who lived in Orlando and also had a beach house for about 10 years and has moved to Perth and says that was the best thing ever! Please do not regret your decision!!!!!!!!!!! u dont need theme parks when u have such beautiful nature!!!!!

It has been asserted that the risk of shark attack is extremely low. On average, there is less than one fatal shark attack in Australian waters per year while 77 people died from drowning in the surf in the period from July 2000 to June 2001.
Worldwide, more people die each year from bee stings and lightning strikes than are killed by sharks. The Natal Sharks Board in South Africa has reported that in the last 20 years only nine people have lost their lives to shark attack on the South African coast, whereas in 1996 alone, some 85 persons drowned at sea.
In Western Australia there have been 51 recorded shark attacks since 1803 of which 11 were fatal (see Appendix 1). Of the fatalities, only three, one of which was in the Swan River, have occurred in the metropolitan area. That is, one fatality in every 66 years since recording commenced. Of the non-fatal attacks, 5
have occurred along the metropolitan beaches (ie 1 in approximately every 40 years), 6 in the Swan River and 6 out to sea as far as Rottnest Island. The frequency of attacks (both fatal and non-fatal) along the metropolitan beaches is one in approximately every 28 years. In contrast, 20 people drowned in the surf in Western Australia in the period from July 2000 to June 2001.
Hopefully that will put your mind at rest.
On the other hand, if he would like to dive with sharks take a trip to AQWA and you go diving with the sharks in the aquarium!
