Perth - Day Five

How can i not go to the Perth City itself when i'm in Perth itself. Sigh... wasn't much for me though... at least not in terms of photography opportunities...

There are a few places of interests within the city such as St Mary's Cathedral, Barracks ' Arch, Parliament House which i visited. These are buildings that remained from the old colonial days in Australia. As they are fairly well distributed over the city, i did quite a fair share of walking. Heehee...


I do recommend a trip down to Bell Tower which is located right along side of Swan River for fresh air and a great view. A better view will be from the opposite bank of the river. From there, you will be able to view Perth City in its full glory. Brilliant view if you can go there in the evening. Best time will be from 6 to 8. =)

Hmm, it was a good thing i came back to the city area again in the next day. Otherwise i would have missed the various museums located near Northbridge (in the opposite direction of the business district). These are the real gems of the city! A pity photography are not allowed within museums. Quite a standard rule though, so nothing much to lament about.

The museums i recommend - Perth Institute of Centemporary Arts & Art Gallery of Western Australia. Thumbs up esp for PICA!
