At last we make it back to Perth and stay in the house of our house sitters…..
A few views of the city en-route to pick up our Big Bus tour.
We start the day with a Big Bus tour, which starts and finishes in Kings Park
We missed the first bus, so spent some time in Kings Park.
At last on the bus ……….some pictures of the city.
The Swan bell tower, about the wikipedia says:-
Twelve of the set are historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square in London; six others, cast in recent times by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, round off the set.
This we thought was a very old pub, turned out to be….not so old !
This mural is one of many painted by an artist Rone, its 22m high!……it was covering the whole side of this building .
So back to Kings Park, where we spent the rest of the afternoon…….
This was an origin plan for the city….
Photos from the top (taken by Dave, I chickened out half way !)
Back on terra firma….
This info board gives aboriginal advice on what to do at different times of the year, this shows that autumn (April-May) is the time to get married !
This is the “glass” bridge…..I did make it all the way across….but didn’t look down !
Half way across
The Swan Brewery Company
These Kangaroo statues are carrying suitcases to represent the office workers going home……or so the bus commentary said !
A very Familiar name……
The sunset on our way back to Scarborough…so this was taken from the van…
This concludes our trip to Australia….we hope you have enjoyed it with us, and please do leave comments…..Jane N Dave ..
