Perth - Zoo Days and a Last Hurrah

Our last 1 show day in Perth meant free time to explore.

The Bell Tower. We walked here after breakfast to catch the ferry from the wharf just behind.

The war memorial in Kings Park. I looked at the lights of Perth from here on the barbecue night.

Personal space!

Some native Auzzies escaping the sun.

A numbat, he was really cool charging about in his enclosure.

Koalas - the star of the show. We had one very happy wardrobe mistress after this stop!

We found somewhere to have a rest : )

A last look at Skippy before we hit the gift shop.

After the zoo we headed for Cottesloe beach again for fish and chips and one last laze in the sun. The beach was busy with kite surfers and people setting up for the Cottesloe to Rottnest Island swim that was taking place the next day.

Perth - Cottesloe Beach

Our first day in Perth was a day off. After breakfast we stocked up with sun cream and hats and headed for the beach. A short train ride from Perth is Cottesloe Beach where we found a large group of the cast already worshipping the sun. After a couple of hours in the sun and a dip in the sea we were back on the train for the short ride to Freemantle for lunch. Fading fast in the heat, after lunch I was back on the train headed for the cool of my hotel room while the girls explored Freemantle.
