City vibes

Woke up at a very respectable 8,30am. Another 12+hrs of sleep and I felt far more human.

Turns out the hostel I am in has free breakfast. This is the 3rd time i have booked somewhere with breakky and forgot. So wonderful surprise, love me some free food.

I then decided to hit the city. Perth icity tourist kiosk runs free tours daily. Every day is a different kind of tour which I kind of like. This morning was the 'Big Boom', so a tour on the gold rush.

We wandered around the city learning how to gold rush effected the city, its architecture and how it worked. I found it fascinating how in an attempt to stop the gold getting stolen they didnt give any indication of which cart the gold was travelling in. As a result noone knew where the gold was when it was travelling. But also noone knew which cart it was in when it arrived. I have this mental image guards running around panicked that they cant find this cart of gold and the owner just standing there getting more and more agitated. Super funny to me for some reason.

Our tour took nearly 2hrs which was a lot but we saw so much and learnt loads. And it was free, so cant go wrong.

P.S. Ignore the blurry photos. My camera could not.もっと詳しく
