Fourth Full Day in Perth

Fourth Full Day in Perth

Perth from the river.

My fourth full day in Australia was a Sunday, and my godmother is a devout churchgoer. So I didn’t go on another full-day tour. Instead, I did my laundry and my postcard writing in the morning, and I got on an afternoon cruise down the river to the Fremantle Harbour and back.

It seems pretty tame compared to the sandboarding of the day before, but it’s kind of hard to top a Desert Storm adventure when you’re touring unfamiliar country.

The top photo is of Perth from the river. The one immediately below is also from the river cruise.

Some kind of land bridge in the river.

When I got back from the cruise, my godmother took me back to King’s Park. It was a three-day weekend with the next day (Monday) being a holiday, so the park was full of people. We spent our time there with me getting shots of the ducks and the strange-looking Australian birds that for some reason sounded like cats in heat.

The photo below was taken from King’s Park. It’s of one of the many playground areas there.

Towards evening, I was ready to go back to my room at my godmother’s house, so I can rest up for another full day of sightseeing the next day. But first, I took another shot of the Perth skyline, this time from the passenger seat of my godmother’s car—the left side, now that I think about it.

I remember wishing that I’d brought my tripod when I took it, but I managed to keep still enough by leaning the camera on the window.

P.S.—Oops! I meant to add a link to my Cousin Zee’s blog. If you liked my post with the photo of me cuddling a wombat, you’ll love her Wombat Love layout.

  1. The topmost photo and the third one (of the bridge?) are my favourites. I like the sense of perspective captured there. 🙂

  5. Minnie, I’m not sure what it is exactly — it’s part of a play structure. But “bridge” sounds good to me!

    Broch, I didn’t buy myself the polarizer until about my 9th or 10th day in Australia, so nope. This is Oz au naturel.

    Nikki, I accept the offer! lol, be sure to pack it in your check-in bag or you’ll be slowed down in security.

    JJ, thanks!

  6. There is nothing like looking out at the water in the trail of a dual-propellor boat. These shots are awesome.

  7. Thanks, Tami! 🙂 I took about 1400-1500 shots, so I was able to get at least a handful of good ones. 😉
