However, I don't want anyone to think I am showing disrespect for Kirsten. And with the way the media is this may be something that they have invented as why she went to rehab. She may have absolutely nothing to do with what the media thinks or says.

One is always wise to suspect the media. So much of what seems to be factual often isn't... I find it difficult sometimes to sort out what "seems to be true", from what is actually factual.

I'm not sure, Melissa. I've never been to Western Australia. I'm an east-coast Sydney boy, myself. Now that this sadness has befallen us, however, I may be tempted to make the pilgrimage one day and lay a flower on Heath's grave. :'(
Cottesloe Beach is located on the Indian Ocean and that little wave would have travelled all the way from Africa. :)

Yes, their beaches over there are much the same as everywhere else....sometimes small roling waves sometimes big dumpers....depending on the weather.
I've only ventured to the west once myself, like Kerry I am a resident of the east coast....and yes, Kerry, I have thought the same thing as you, one day, a visit, to place a flower where he is resting.

I've been meaning to do this for days...no time like the present!

Melissa, I've just had a thought. I think Rottnest Island is located off the coast of Perth and that it buffers much of the wave activity coming in off the Indian Ocean, taking much of the brunt of the waves. What this means for the beaches of Perth, is that they don't have much of a surf to speak of. The water is quite flat, because Rottnest Island protects the beaches.
That beautiful baptism-like ceremony for Heath's soul, that we saw at Heath's wake, would not be possible on a Sydney beach, for example. You'd be dumped by the force of the waves.
Yes, I think it was my brother who once told me that the beaches of Perth are protected by off-shore Rottnest Island.
