Ah... the last of our photos from our King's Park walk when we last visited Perth. It was the first proper time for our youngest child, and it was a nice return for our oldest and the two of us. It had been about 10 years since we had visited here...
... and Perth is such a lovely place, my kids still talk about wanting to visit again. Pity it is so far away from the rest of Australia... although, I suspect that that has a lot to do with the charm of the place!
On this particular day, our kids didn't really want to walk around... but I have such fond memories of coming here as a kid... and playing on the slopes and rolling down the hills with family friends... watching my brother fall in the water, and then racing little boats down the streams... most of these things are now forbidden sadly.
There is just something so vibrant about the summer light in Perth...
... along with that amazingly clear blue sky!
The War Memorial... a beautiful place overlooking the city, and the venue for the yearly commemorations.
Looking out to the southern side of Perth, on the opposite side of the Swan River. It has developed quite a lot since I was a kid!
This gazebo has seen its fair share of wedding photos! It was the only respite from the hot sun on this day...
I don't know what tree this is... but I really liked the fuzziness of the leaves, I have to figure out if it will grow where we live. Perhaps it would be too cold though...
Banksias... we have to get a few of these as well.
Always quite amazed by the amount of natural knowledge that the indigenous people had! Quite a treasure trove of survival knowledge in what was quite a deadly land to settler Europeans.
The Skybridge is new... and it really is a nice way to traverse amongst the canopy of the trees!
Honestly, no idea why this photo is here... from vague memory, there was a bird or something making a racket up there...
Yep... this bridge does go crazily high... and it is on the edge of a rise as well, making it seem even higher!
The Old Swan Brewery... I remember that being a huge native title claim or some sort of court case when it was being proposed to be redeveloped... but I was a kid then, and didn't really know what was going on... other than it appearing on the news quite often.
What a beautiful park with a nice view of the water. That raised walkway is pretty awesome too! It's always fun taking the little ones to explore new places for them!
Yes, it is great to explore with them the places that I was so familiar with as a child as well! Lots that is different, but still some fond memories!

I haven't been to King's Park in a while, should probably make the effort to go again (I drove once and have refused since, the kids are now big enough to walk or there are several buses we could take, however transport is annoying now as our train line is shut down as some major works are being done). It is a beautiful place.
Any more trips planned any time soon?
It is definitely worth going if you have a picnic day planned! I'm not that fond of the beach, so I'm always going to prefer coming here instead!
My wife will make a trip over later in the year to meet a friend who is coming out from Netherlands for a conference. But otherwise, my mum usually comes to see us instead...
