Council House is Lit Up

The colors were bright, changing quickly and bringing Holiday cheer!




Roos in the City


Tis' the Season

Yesterday we took out last walk on the small island across the river.   Along the way we passed a random pine tree decorated with a few silver bows and ornaments.  It warmed my heart and put an extra spring in my step-- I am going home for Christmas.

More Kangaroo Paws!

Federation Flame

Black Kangaroo Paw

Federation Walkway in King's Park

What's special about this Walkway?
"The elevated walkway and glass arched bridge are together a fusion of sculpture, architecture and engineering. Forged from richly rusted steel, the elevated steel boardwalk is a striking artwork designed to blend into the landscape so the focus is on the natural and inspiring vistas surrounding you."


Perth from Above

King's Park is perched on high ground with great views of the city and water.
Cities with water make it very special.

Fremantle Doors







Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains are outside Sydney.  More like big hills, yet very beautiful.  We had a lovely tour guide that took us around sunset and told us the history of the area.







Rock formation named the Three Sisters.
