Holiday in Australia - Day 51

---

Well I'm on a roll with the travel blogs now!!! I hope you all appreciated how long it took me to update what I had been doing for the last 3 weeks. Apologies if you received a number of emails, you all know that computers and me don't mix!!! Anyway, I have taken today very leisurely indeed. Headed into Perth in the morning and had a walk around the city and along the river. It was really interesting, but far too hot to spend too long outside so I headed to an air-conditioned bar for a cool beer. In the afternoon I headed to Cottesloe, and walked along the beach. It was really strange to return there after four years. For all those who visited Perth four years ago, the OBH is still around. However, according to Nige they are planning to turn it into apartments!!!! Is nothing sacred in this world!!! Anyway, I had a beer in the OBH. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so no beautiful sunset. Also Nath was not to be seen dancing on the tables. In the evening I headed back into Fremantle for some Japanese food, really fresh seafood. Early to bed after that, as I have an early flight to catch to Alice Springs in the morning. Speak to you soon.

Kangaroos in Perth
Right outside the Stirling gardens are 5 bronze kangaroos in various positions.

The Swan Bell Tower
The Swan Bell Tower is a new addition to Perth’s waterfront. It was opened in December 2000 and is made up of a green glass spire which is surrounded by copper 'sails'. The Swan Bells were constructed as Western Australians Millennium project and are one of the largest musical instruments in the world.
