| Kings Park - WA |
|
Back |
We had been to Kings Park a few years ago in
Spring and wondered what it would be like in mid Summer. We took the
free bus around town and got off at |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Jacobs Ladder - well that was a mistake - hundreds of
steps later we arrive at the top. |
But the view was good. |
|
The start of the park has an avenue of white gums - just
brilliant. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This is the gardens area - lush with water |
Great Views of the city skyline |
|
Queen Victoria |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
Lunch break |
The more formal British gardens area |
With drought at home its hard to imagine you can still run
one - it was good to see. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Off for a walk - the start |
The shelter was a work of art |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Concrete paths at this point |
The bush shows how it really is - DRY!! |
A side step to the DNA tower |
360o views from the top of the city and around. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
A little help - wish I knew more of the names. |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Back on the bush walk |
Nature is always close by |
Yes, something was in flower |
We change directions and come to a sand path |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A surprise - a kids play area and pond |
|
Including and island of fun |
Chocolate Lilly |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
Interesting - I've never seen the fruit of this plant
before. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| And the city views come back |
|
Yes, they have a "walk in the trees" as well. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
The WA Magpie - black backed not white as we have at home. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Back to the gardens |
|
|
We leave again passing the white gums - great. |
 |
 |
|
|
| |
Queen Victoria's cannons! |
