Hi!

We are 2 couples from Sweden, each with a daugther of 1 years age, coming to Perth and WA for 2 month, arriving on Jan 3rd, leaving March 1st, to get some good kiting while winter rules in Sweden. As the only one in our group, I have been to WA before, traveling & kiting between Geralton and Margaret River but have of course not been to all potential spots between those places.

Before our arrival I'd like to ask some questions and would like to ask you to even send me some useful hints if you happen to think about anything worthful while reading this post:

- Our general idea is to head north first, let the less advanced kiters (meaning the female part of the group ...) get up to a decent level and then travel south. What route would you take to maximize number of windy days?
- Are there any beginner-friendly kitespots comparable to Safety bay/Rockingham or Pelican Point/Bunburry north of Geralton?
- Based upon my experiences from the last visit, the seabreaze in January is stronger further north. Does Perth still have seabreaze during February?
- Are there any kitespots on the lagoon south of Mandurah (Kitebeaches does not list any...) or is kitesurfing not allowed due to birds life or other reasons?
- When is it warm enough on the southern coast of WA (e.g. Esperance) to not needing a wetsuit? Or is it never that warm down there?

- On what website can we find private adverts to buy used child seats? Or do you know about possibilities to rent for less than buying a used seat?
- Do you know about websites presenting private adverts regarding furnished accomodations?
- We plan to stay for a couple of days in the Perth area to recover from the jetlag, get our Wicked Campers and explore Perth and surroundings - if you have any accomodation to offer between Jan 3rd to (say) Jan7th that fits two small families, we warmly welcome a contact.

That's it - Thanks for all replies in advance. Please send private messages if you do not feel for responding in public.

Regards - Ingo

PS - Yeah, you managed reading all the way to here, so please feel invited to join me some minutes on my favorite island Gotland in the Baltic Sea during a stormy weekend in September:
