You must miss your dad… I miss mine. I’m from manhattan and traveled all continents but yours, NZ and Antarctica. I loved reading your piece! Let me know when you’re performing in manhattan. I love humor…
This is very funny: "There’s an old saying that ‘Perth is a great place to be a baby and have a baby, and not a lot in between.’ That’s not entirely fair, but I understand the gist. It’s a fantastic place to grow up. You’re outdoors a lot. You’re surrounded by nature. You learn independence early. Yes, every creature here can kill you, but you don’t really clock that until you move to America and mention a deadly animal casually, only to watch people react like you’ve described a scene from Jurassic Park."
Thanks for the post. My daughter will be here tomorrow from Australia. She is a teacher and her little sidekick, Maddi is coming with her. Nice to have her home for Christmas. Happy holidays young man. From Montana. 'Berta
“A prison with beaches!” “Sharks who can write!” So many great lines in here Jason!
Thank you Anne!

Thanks Jill. I’m sorry for your loss.
I will let you know!
Hey, I live in 'functionally theoretical' Adelaide ... but I'm a Kiwi so... :-)
I like the perspective drawing of the Perth Library window-glad you included it!
Dear Jason,
This is a beautiful love letter to Perth!

Ah that’s great! Glad to hear you’ll have some quality time together.
Thanks for this. Very well written as always.
Enjoy your time “at home” and looking forward to seeing you in early ‘26.❤️
Thank you Caroline. Happy Hannukah to you and Arnie.
Is this a travelogue on why to never visit Perth? Perth and Adelaide always seemed interesting to me. Guess not.
