The Freo Doctor

You know its summer time in Perth when.. Breeze…

Not every breeze in Perth is the Freo Docker; only in Summer, on a still, dry, hot day… Suddenly, the clock is at 12.52pm… the tops of your neighbors overgrown palm tree starts to sway… Could it be?

Suddenly wind chimes begin touching, lightly… Suddenly, an almighty rush of wind blows dead, sun beat leaves across your patio. The trees and pushes are alive with the sound of wind! It’s here! The sea breeze is here! Relief at last.
