It was a G’Day Mate (6/01/23)

Today was a gorgeous, sunny, too many photos kind of day. The best kind of day to have! We walked the amazing 6.5 mile trail around the Swan River but also added on a walk onto Heirisson Island to look for kangaroos and a walk up to Kings Park to see some of the beautiful, large park and enjoy some great views of the city. We just kept saying how beautiful everything was. Feeling very blessed.

Walking past Langley Park,
which runs about 1k along the Swan River
and hosts a number of annual events
Looking across from Perth city center towards South Perth
One of many restaurants along the Swan River
On Heirisson Island, looking back towards downtown Perth
Found 2 shy kangaroos hiding in the woods, as we were heading off the island thinking that maybe the kangaroos had all been moved
due to ongoing construction of a pedestrian bridge over the causeway.
On the south side of the Swan River
looking back at downtown through some beautiful palm trees
Three of many black swans that we spotted
Some helpful signage along the trail
R/evolve sculpture by Ben Jones, Angela McHarrie, and Tony Jones, 2021.
It is located in Sir James Mitchell Park
(another lovely large park along the Swan River)
near the Mends Street shopping area
Some fun meerkat sculptures also located in the Mends Street shopping area
A sculpture and fountains in Kings Park.
Kings Park is an almost 400 hectare park on Mount Eliza
overlooking the Swan River, South Perth, and the CBD.
