Last Friday night, I had a crazy night out. And there were zero bars, no drinks, and mostly wildlife involved. As a thank you, my boss Christy organised a night out for the approx 20 volunteers who hauled boxes and served lunches all day for free at the Curtin Careers Fair (god love em).
The night out was a tour called "The Seven Wonders of the East (of Perth)." Basically, a friend of hers runs mystery tours which visits all the secret spots he discovered growing up east of Perth. Mystery meaning that the secret locations are undisclosed until arrival.
These were:
Alfred's Hamburgers: a roadside dinner with an outdoor fire pit serving AMAZING burgers of strange varieties. Mine was Alfred's special: egg, bacon, cheese, burger, pickles, all served between three layers of toast.
Airport land: snuck onto airport property and stood at the end of the runway at Perth airport and watched the jets fly 100 metres overhead and come in for a landing (lets pretend this wasn't illegal and that hopefully no one working for airport security reads blogs)
Abandoned train tunnel. Exactly that- dark, abandoned, muddy, with a chance of hiding kangaroos.
Scenic overlook over Perth in Lesmurdie.
The windy road down the hills in Lesmurdie. 180 degree hairpin turns down the side of a nearly-mountain, all with a view of Perth.
Fast Eddy's: Nothing tops a night off like midnight sundaes.
So this all got me to thinking: if I organised the same sort of thing in Richmond, Va. what would the secret locations be?
