Queen Arrives in Perth

This year the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is in Perth.  53 Heads of governments are in town where they all meet, chat about global, other affairs and yadda yadda.  The city is a little turned upside down, especially the central business district, bus routes are re-routed, and some streets closed.  There have been cops on many corners even as far up towards us.  Helicoptors have been heard all week over head.

The Queen has been touring Australia all week and has arrived here an hour ago.  We live on Great Eastern Highway and about 10 minutes from the airport, so figured the motorcade would pass by, as did many others standing along the verge (or curb.)  I know some people have different opinions about royality, but it is still cool to see it, see how people react, hear others stories about meeting her or where they have seen motorcades in other cities.



The cars went by pretty quickly, but she is in the black Range Rover and wearing pink.
To tell the truth, I didn't know what to be looking for, oh well!
