A gorgeous koala from Perth Zoo, a 17-hectare zoological park in South Perth. I visited this zoo myself and I absolutely loved it. So thank you Marnie for bringing back nice memories from one of my trips to Australia!
Clockwise from left: Western Australia's bird emblem is the Black Swan; Perth's city skyline, seen here from Sir James Mitchell Park; the Swan Bells tower graces the riverfront at Barrack Square.
Thank you Marnie. I have such nice memories of Perth! Date: May 6
The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest operating mint and one of Perth’s premier tourist destinations. Within its world-class exhibition halls, the history of Western Australian gold, and The Perth Mint, come to life - giving visitors the opportunity to experience the magic of gold.
Elizabeth Quay is an exciting new waterfront precinct on the banks of the Swan River. Here you’ll find the island playground, the BHP Billiton Water Park, public artwork, promenades, open spaces and a range of bars and restaurants. A range of scenic river cruises sail tourists and locals from Barrack Street Jetty to the Swan Valley, Fremantle and Rottnest Island.
Perth, capital of Western Australia, sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Sandy beaches line its suburbs, and the huge, riverside Kings Park and Botanic Garden on Mount Eliza offer sweeping views of the city.
The Swan Bells are a set of 18 bells hanging in a specially built 82.5-metre-high copper and glass campanile in Perth. The tower is commonly known as The Bell Tower. Taking their name from the Swan River, which their tower overlooks, and forming a sixteen-bell peal with two extra chromatic notes, they are the second largest set of change ringing bells in the world.
I finally visited Perth Zoo and bought 2 postcards. The first one, Asian Elephants.
