Once there I waited for 15 minutes until the lovely lady decided it was time to deal with me, as the phone conversation with her friend was far too much interesting than her job. My intent was to book a room in a B&B to spend the night. When I told her what I wanted she called me crazy and she said I would never find anything in Perth for just one person, and that I would better off going back from ...
