Perth: A Meander Around the City

March 2, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 88 °F

Our last day in Perth saw us on a stroll around town.

It was an aimless sort of meander … with a hidden agenda … to search out some of the public art around the city. Our job was made easy as we had picked up a DIY art trail map from the visitor center a few days ago.

The trail coincided with some of the landmarks of the city … such as Elizabeth Quay; the Supreme Court of Western Australia; Government House; and St. George’s Anglican Cathedral (in the English Gothic Revival style).

We wrapped up our meander with lunch at the Belgian Beer Café Westende.

Then back to the apartment to prepare for the next segment of our Adventures Down Under … a rail journey that we will begin tomorrow.Read more
