Charles, a Londoner by birth, has lived in Australia for 50 years and is a retired civil (geotechnical) engineer who spent most of his career working as a consultant in the offshore oil & gas and mining industries..
Margaret, Australian through and through, is a teacher by profession and, like Charles, is recently retired from the public service.
We have travelled the world extensively, mostly independent travel, but some with groups to lesser known destinations like Mongolia, Siberia, Uzbekistan and North Korea. We have had nine successful home exchanges (New Zealand, Oman, South of France, Berlin, and in the UK: London, Cardiff, Dorset, Ludlow and Southport) We hope to do many more. All were fantastic destinations as were the people we exchanged with.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our home has 3 bedrooms, a large kitchen/family room with a covered indoor/outdoor patio area, a TV Room/library and a study. (The 3rd bedroom is set up as a second study/office/activities room). The house is open planned with one large sitting room dining room, kitchen. There is a separate, small TV room and two offices/studies. We also have a covered indoor/outdoor area which we use for most meals (weather permitting). The house is located on just under 800m2 of land.
The house is eight years old so fairly new, well equipped and comfortable with a lovely garden. There is a fence and hedge around the front door area which encloses a beautiful private rose garden. The back garden has a lawn, a vegetable garden in raised garden beds and a fern garden which is shaded by a large cut leaf plane tree. There are a number of outside seats where you can sit and enjoy the lovely Perth weather.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Lathlain is a quiet neighbourhood that is close (10 mins) to the centre of Perth although, unlike most capital cities, it is composed of detached homes with gardens, etc. - limited apartments/multi-unit dwellings. We have three cafes and a park within easy walking distance and then many cafes and restaurants that are around a 20 minute walk or a five minute drive from us. It's very easy to live in, as well as being close to 'the action' of the CBD and all that offers.
In addition to the city we are next door to the Burswood complex,
( http://www.burswoodpark.wa.gov.au with parks on the Swan River,
hotels, restaurants,and a casino ( https://www.crownperth.com.au plus other night life.
The suburb of Victoria Park is very close and is brimming with cafes and restaurants offering cuisines from most parts of the world.
Lathlain is around a 20 minute drive to the coast and all the beautiful beaches both north and south of Perth but is only a few minutes drive (or a 20 minutes walk) to the beautiful Swan River where you can cycle, sail or just walk around. It is also very easy to access to shopping and public transport (bus and train) and a 2 - 3 minute drive has you on the Freeway.
Lathlain is a great central location for a home exchange and is also an ideal base from which to explore Perth and the South West of Western Australia which includes the beautiful wine and surf region of Margaret River.
