A hot day in Perth so we headed over to the zoo for the afternoon — as did every second person in the city!
A confusing place to get around, there didn’t seem to be any clear maps or directions and at times we found ourselves heading in the opposite direction to what we’d intended. Maybe you’re meant to pay more and buy the guidebook…
A thick screen of bamboo between the paths was completely covered in graffiti. Bizarre to see it, and it reminded me in some ways of the graffiti inside the towers of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, every inch of the walls covered…
The waterbirds exhibit was excellent, a giant walk-in aviary with clear signs and a myriad of inhabitants. Seeing a pair of jabiru dancing their mating dance only half a metre away was an impressive sight! Huge wings flutting and gigantic black beaks clacking as they leapt a metre off the ground to impress each other.
Perth city skyline at night
A final beer at the pub on our way back to the ferry across the river, a final attempt to photograph the city skyline at night… That kind of photography definitely needs something more configurable than my fully automatic camera, however useful it is the rest of the time!
The taxi-fare to the airport in the evening worked out to be cheaper than for the two of us to catch the airport bus!
