From England to
Perth
![]() Looking over
Perth from Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens.
=========
We spent
Christmas with Sue and Ross from Y-Not and met their delightful
family.
![]() Sue and Ross's
new property which is an unusual style for the area (a Queenslander). It
suits them perfectly.
![]() ![]() On a trip out
to catch crayfish we were amused by this scarecrow, but he works as can be
seen from the invasion on the next door boat.
![]() Our
catch of the day.
![]() Just part of
the bush, two "black boys" more correctly called grass trees stand
proudly in the foreground.
![]() ![]() Flora of the
area; Western Australian Christmas Trees.
On to
Melbourne
![]() View of
Melbourne from the South Bank.
![]() Flinders Street Station is
among Melbourne's most recognisable landmarks.
![]() I felt this
pavement artist deserved a photo.
![]() We took
a coach trip out to the Dandenong Mountains. The park is particularly
well known for its spectacular Mountain Ash forests and fern gullies as well as
for the birds.
![]() ![]() ![]() 1. A Crimson
Rosella 2. A Sulphur-crested Cockatoo 3. An Australian King
Parrot
![]() Not all tours
go smoothly and ours had the complication of a tree falling across the
road very shortly before our arrival. It added some excitement
to the trip as well as several extra miles in the
coach.
