Perth

My last week I could stay with the lovely Kate who Mum stayed with last year from BPW.

It is the best thing to stay with Kate and she made me have a very luxury end of my travel.

I arrived Monday morning from Exmouth and Kate awaited me at the Bus stop. With her daughter Fiona we visited the Kings Park. The photo above shows the heritage listed Swan brewery with the  Swan river in the background and the skyline on the left.

This Water Garden Is dedicated to the different Women organization in Perth and WA.

After a coffee break in the park we went to Fremantle which is the port of Perth where the first settlers arrived. Symbolized with the statue next to the maritime museum in Fremantle.

Fremantle is the oldest part of Perth and has a lovely harbour. Next to the fishing boats are all the lovely fish&chips shops where we stopped for lunch.

On Tuesday I went to the Museum of Western Australia and had a look around the city with some beautiful Arcades like the London Court Arcade.

The statue with the changing of business men in time was in the George Terrace with all the highrise buildings with the banks inside. Perth is the 3rd windiest capital in the world with this street in particular windy.

From a church in England Perth got 2 bells as a present so that they built this modern Bell Tower which should look like a boat.

From the jetty of the Swan river I had a good view on the skyline of Perth.

We checked out the Cottesloe beach where we had a coffee and the Scarborough beach where Kate has been growing up.

Hilary Beach is much calmer place were we had the champagne and enjoying the good weather.

On Wednesday afternoon we saw the exhibiton at the Art Gallery of Perth with this statue called ´the Secretary´.

This picture shows the progress of the first settlement with the moment of the naming of Perth.

Just with lots of crayon lines this portrait has a power and life around it.

The BPW club Joondalup Had a dinner and a speech about Negotiation on where Kate and I were invited to.
