A mostly sunny day in Perth

28th July 2014

The car was booked in for a service in the city this morning so we were in the city centre by 7:45am.  A few showers up until midday and then absolutely beautiful sunshine for the rest of the day.

The old Swan Brewery now converted to apartments
After meeting with some friends [great to catch up with Sandra and Adriaan plus their children] in a cafe in Kings Park we went for a long walk around the park and climbed the DNA tower for a view in all directions.

We then walked along the Swan riverfront and visited several of the beautiful parks that grace the city before catching a bus back to the car dealer.  There are a number of city bus routes that are free so we have taken full advantage.

The swan family safely relocated
Along the river we spotted a black swan crossing a 4 lane highway with six little cygnets following behind.  Fortunately the cars all stopped and the family safely arrived for a reunion with the other parent at a pond over the road.
