Helmets Are Important

Helmets are very important for your personal safety and Australians take this very seriously, more so than anywhere else in the world.

Helmets are used for a plethora of activities that, while not particularly dangerous, could cause mental trauma.

Elsewhere in the world, such activities would be untertaken in a carefree manner with a complete disregard for personal safety. Not so Australia, where law requires you to weRiding a megafauna statue in King's Park Perthar a helmet for activities as diverse as climbing a tower to view a city (you could fall and hit your head,) standing under said towerStanding under a cliff face in Western Australia (something could fall from the tower and hit you in the head,) riding a large megafauna emu type bird statue in the park (the bird, being made of stone, could suddenly shatter, a piece of which could hit you in the head,) or even while walking beneath a cliff (a hoon, aussie for hooligan, above you could toss rocks off the cliff that could hit you in the head.)

Elsewhere in the world, governments are complacent and willing to let their citizens encounter these dangers without any regard for their safety.

Not so Australia, where blatant disregard of the laws will land you here:

Scooterin Perth

There's no cooler way to tour Perth. It's Fonzi cool. Video & photos of perth, fremantle, & Rottnest Island (quokkas!!.) Also included is a journey on the Highway to Hell that leads to the gravesite of Bon Scott. Hopefully he didn't & we don't end up there.
