Perth Photos

Fremantle - the pretty little harbour town half an hour by train from Perth. It has a lovely marina, with lots of very spenny yachts (just out of the photo on the left). Despite the lovely day and clear blue sky it was absolutely freezing... this is Australia?

Perth itself also had a lovely waterside - this beach is actually just off the river rather than the sea. There are a few river islands you can visit too. We spent a nice (but frustrating) day walking to one which has a kangaroo fence - thinking we'd see loads of wild kangaroos hopping around. But no, not a single one! Despite walking three laps of the islands and scrambling through bushes to see if they were hiding. Ah well, maybe we'll see them boinging around in Brisbane.

Kings Park on the North side of Perth is particularly nice. It's learnt a bit from the Chinese, and installed the fun water feature (which has geyser-like shooting fountain jets) you can see behind Gary.
And if you wander towards the edge of Kings Gardens you see the river - and Perth in the background. Nice! But again, freezing. Don't let the beautiful clear blue sky deceive you!
