We are still running around with Danny, not anymore at this time of course as he is back already for a few weeks, but we had a good time and I want to share that with you....
On the 24th of April we decided to go to Kalamunda to the information centre as I had read that in that area, which is called Mundy Regional Park, you can do some nice walking.
So after picking up some walking trail maps, we headed of to the Lesmurdie Falls where we had planned to have our lunch first. Unfortunately all the picnic tables were occupied so we just went to see the Falls......
In the distance you can see Perth....
Due to the lack of rain, there was just a little stripe of water........
We found a nice park in Kalamunda itself and had our lunch before our walk; the Rocky Pool walk, which was a walk of 5 k's return with beautiful views.....
We saw and heard some Kookaburra's, we always have to laugh when these birds open their mouth.....
here the pair is......
we walked along a little creek always beware of snakes....
Hawkeye on the watch for the enemy....
and there is Perth again.....
That was really worth while the walk....
Yeeeeh!!! 27th April; Kings Birthday (King of the Netherlands of course),
so all dressed up we are going to Perth.....
At the train station Danny has to check if his belt bag is securely attached....
with train and bus, the three musketeers are on their way to Kings Park (coincident on Kings Day?)....
Later today we are going to party, first we visit Kings Parks.......
Looks like they are about to start a duel....
Kings Park is one of the world’s largest and most beautiful inner city parks. It is rich in Aboriginal and European history.
We enjoyed the sweeping views of the Swan and Canning Rivers, the city skyline and the Darling Ranges to the east.
We visited the State War Memorial.....
and because it has been Anzac day the 25th, the memorial was packed with flowers....
We entered the botanic garden, had our lunch and walked the federation walk....
On the edge of the garden, on our way back to the bus stop, we saw this beautiful tree and I couldn't resist to make a picture with hubby on a root so you can see how big it is!
Yeeeeehhhh, its party time; we had a few drinks at The Aviary which is a bar on a roof top in the centre of Perth.....
Movie time;
Here they are preparing an "Oranje Bitter", which is a drink, usually drank on King's Day but in Holland you can buy it at the liquor shop, here they made it themselves....
(didn't taste the same though but it was nice)
On our way to the train......
Wonder what Danny has there on his phone.....
That was it again folks, see ya next time!
Cheers!
