Perth - Day Four

Fourth day in Perth and where can i go but to another pride of Western Australia, Kings Park. =) A beautiful area of 400 hectares filled with natural vegetation, lakes and lookouts. Just to let you have a feel of how enormous the park is, just imagine 2.2 times the area of East Coast Park.

A must visit if you travel to Perth in late spring. Beautiful flowers of all kinds will be in full bloom and the park becomes a most scenic place. Best part, it's within walking distance from the city. Among all my days spent there, this day has been most fruitful in terms of photography opportunities.

Another feature of the park - war memorials. Look carefully and you'll notice some of the trees within this designated area have a small plaque with a name beneath. Every name is a Service Personnel that has given their lives for Australia during war times.

One place you definitely have to go within the park is the DNA Tower. It's a viewing tower with a total of 101 steps to reach the top. From the top, you get breath-taking birdeye view of the surrounding.
