Promenading through Perth - 07/11 Sept

Right, so I have arrived in Perth. Took a shuttle into the city, stopped in front of a big office building and met Max. Dorrit and Max are family of mine living in Perth, and they were so kind to take me in for a while during my stay in the west of Australia. Turns out they had some weekend trips planned for the upcoming two weeks, so I had the luck of joining them :)

Fixed an Aussie phone number, and walked along the beach the next day, took the wrong bus heading back, so I got picked up. Next day was time to explore the city! Started with the Art Gallery and Museum, both really interesting - preferred the art gallery though :P Then did the 'Lonely Planet-walk' along all sorts of sight, including some nice brick-building and some pretty neat architecture from the 60's and of course the bell tower. Then on to Kings Park for a view of the city from the top of the hill, and that evening actually left on my first trip into the Outback!!


Two day trip via Toodyay, Dowerin and Wyalkatchem, lots of wildflowers to see all around, not just red sand, but fields of yellow, pink and white flowers. Amazing!
Visited Wongan Hills and New Norcia as well, and headed back via Yanchep Park, taking a peek at the local koalas and kangaroos. (Kangaroos taste good btw...)

<- Nice picture eh!? they built the friggin thing in the 1960s! How's that for architecture. And I love the way the shading makes a whole new pattern on the window itself...all sorts of blue...

Oh, and before I forget - click any of the pictures to go to the corresponding album - there's more pictures in most - Singapore & Seoul are in the same group, due to my mess-up but the rest should be sorted :)
