We went down to Hillarys Boat Harbor (Sorrento) yesterday to see whats new and improved.

As its regularly busy on the weekends with the cafe’s, shops and the occasional market, so its well worthy of a visit and since we last went several months back its been renovated here and there with some new shops and food stores opening.

The other day Jasmin and I went down to the Guildford area which is a heritage listed suburb with an antique district if you want to call it, where most people come to shop for antiquities – old furniture and knick knacks.

It also has a nice coffee/cafe strip along side the train-line.

During the Christmas break (2009) Jasmin and I drove down to Mundaring Weir in the early morning.

It was a perfect day, no one around and with great weather so we managed to get some great clear sky photos.

We have arrived home today after a relaxing holiday down south via Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, overnight in Pemberton, through Walpole & Denmark to reach our final destination of Albany. Lack of internet access limited our ability to post – but we will do a photo a day now to catch up.

Above is a photo from day one – arriving in Pemberton for a beautiful walk through the forrest.

This is the balcony that the room opened onto – the parrot flew in as soon as we returned from the walk, so I fed him a few crumbs. When we returned to the room later after dinner he had left these flowers on the balcony for us – a thank you perhaps?

We went to New Norcia recently which is Australia’s only Monastic town.

Took about 1.5hrs to drive up that way but it was well worth it, not only was the day perfect (though a little chilly from the wind) the historic buildings that were built there, were perfect for taking photos of.

One of Australia’s flora and fauna icons is the Kangaroo Paw, it looks quirky but has a really nice colour to it.
Soft to touch like an aloe-vera plant but also has a furry feeling to it.

Kings Park has plenty of these scattered around the nature trails and along the main entrance overlooking the city.

The cafe that overlooks Perth city and the surrounding monuments, located in the main populated area for tourists to relax and enjoy the view while snacking.

Not sure what the coffee is like up there though.

On my walk out of Kings Park I found this building to be quite interesting, I believe its been on the hillside overlooking Perth city for many years as it looks really old and almost retro up close.

Seems almost like something screws into the top of it.

The round-about at the top of St. Georges Terrace which then turns into Kings Park Road is the main entrance feature into Kings Park itself.

St Georges Terrace is now lined with these banners – each Shire/Council has put one together. Gosnells has a particularly special banner – my mum contributed to the creation of this one.
