Perth, Australia

We're in Perth! It's awesome, Doug's family lives right near the center of town so we are close to everything! We've been able to do a little bit of sight-seeing. We still haven't seen a koala bear or a dingo but there's a park near by so we'll go soon and take lots of pictures. :) The weather has been quite nice. It's winter here but it still gets up into the mid sixties during the day. Perth is surrounded by water; be it a river, a lake or the ocean...tons of water! So, it's pretty humid but since the weather is so mild right now it hasn't been too bad. Here are some pictures of the things we've been able to do so far.








This is taken from King's Park which is basically a memorial park for war vetrans. The park is gorgeous and the view of the city of Perth was really beautiful as well.






Doug and my first trip to the city.












The Swan Bell Tower


















Doug purchasing tickets for our ferry ride to South Perth. This ferry is considered a part of Perth transit, like a subway. I thought that was funny.







The Black Swan and I hanging out by the river.










The Beautful City of Perth. We took this from South Perth which is across Swan River.














The top of "London Street" in downtown Perth. It's just a cute street with lots of souvineers and stuff.








Australian Football is called "Footy" at least that's what all the Aussies call it. It's kind of like soccer except they use a football and they have to kick it into the goal post and punch it to pass.







Go Dockers!








This is the stadium and those white blow up things are anchors.










You can see their mascott running down there on the field. He's supposed to be a guy who would work at the "docks" or the harbor.
