Tour and See the World! Claremont Heritage Trails, Western Australia part 6

Tour and See the World! Claremont Heritage Trails, Western Australia part 6

In earlier posts, I wrote about Kings Park, Cottesloe Coast, Subiaco, Fremantle and Mandurah in Western Australia, here on Tour and See the World! In this post, I visit Perth's Claremont Heritage Trails. Actually, I think it should be said that Australia has a lot of beautiful parks and wonderful trails to walk along as well as scenic rivers and wonderful ocean coasts, so this one might actually seem pedestrian amongst the many wonders in Australia. But oh well, I visited it so here goes: you can see the many boats and yachts in the river (I believe it's the Swan River), and the park is big enough to explore and certainly cosy enough for picnics on a good day with fine weather! :)

There will be more scenes of yachts and sailing boats, especially since I also visited Sorrento Quay, which has many yachts for sail (that's a pun, I meant many yachts for sale :) ). Sorrento Quay will come up soon in this travel site, boasting of its boats and wonderful serviced apartments overlooking the yachts in their bays. More to come on Perth and Western Australia here on my travel site, so do stay here with me as I show you the beautiful pictures from my Australian tour. Thanks for reading and cheers!

Tour and See the World! Kings Park, Western Australia part 5

Hello and welcome once again to Tour and See the World! In this post, we visit Kings Park, Western Australia! In the pictures below, you see: first, Lovers Walk, which sadly was closed when I was there due to a possibility of landslide and heavy rockfall. Secondly, the signboard for the famous huge and gigantic tree, the Gija Jumulu, which was transported a long long way to Perth from North Western Australia! Thirdly, you can see the beautiful skyline of Perth, as seen from the commanding heights of Kings Park. Lastly, there is that very interesting signboard/post, but also with some Indonesians filming a movie in the environs of Kings Park!

Not captured in the pictures above, but also very important and interesting: the Kokoda Trails/ Kokoda Tracks, which simulates or retraces the Second World War; the WWI and WWII war memorials in Kings Park which commemorates the fallen; the Swan Brewery Co Ltd, which can be seen opposite Kings Park and is very visible even from a great height; and the Jacobs Ladder, among many other sights and sounds.

Sadly, I didn't get to see many other things or fully explore the park, since Kings Park seems to be incredibly huge and spans an incredibly large area. There are many other interesting places to visit and see within the Park. I think Kings Park is very worth visiting (i.e. it's a must see), especially since there are many Singaporean visitors who have never seen such beautiful landscapes, scenery, or natural environs. I would say it's incredibly beautiful and definitely worth a visit in Perth.

More to come on Western Australia and Perth - do stay tuned! Thanks for reading and cheers!

Tour and See the World! Cottesloe Coast, Western Australia part 4

Tour and See the World! Cottesloe Coast, Western Australia part 4

Welcome back to Tour and See the World! In the last few posts, I posted about various places I visited in Western Australia: Subiaco, Fremantle and Mandurah. Do please click on the above links to view the pictures, thanks! In this post, we visit the beautiful and scenic Cottesloe Coast, Western Australia! I show you the beautiful sunset that I managed to catch, as well as the beautiful coastline, rocky yet majestic cliffs, and also the map of the area.

Some of you might be wondering what Cottesloe Coast is all about, so I copied and amended the description from the Town of Cottesloe's website for your benefit:

"Thinking of the beach, thinking of Norfolk Island pines, thinking of a Western Suburbs lifestyle?? - that's Cottesloe. Just 15 minutes west of Perth, Western Australia, Cottesloe is internationally famous for its superb beach and terraced lawns overlooking the Indian Ocean. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Cottesloe's village atmosphere and seaside heritage demands exploration." They couldn't have said it any better - I think Cottesloe's really a great place to visit! Here are the pictures:




















Thanks for reading and viewing my pictures! More pictures to come here later on this travel site - I will post, in no particular order, also pictures of Claremont Heritage Trails, Kings Park Western Australia, Perth itself, Sorrento Quay, Joondalup, St Mary's Cathedral in Perth, and the famous City of Stirling with its Observation City (aka Hotel Rendezvous, I think). Stay here with me as we Tour and See the World! Thanks for reading and cheers.

Tour and See the World! Subiaco, Western Australia part 3

Hi, I'm back! In the last post, we visited Fremantle in Australia. In this post, we visit Subiaco, a small city in Western Australia! Subiaco seems to me to be quite a small city, very nice and quiet, with a gentle atmosphere. My brother likes it very much! I show below some of the shops, restaurants and the Australian version of the MRT (trains, rail services) as well. Without further ado, you're visiting Subiaco:

In the next post, I bring you to visit Cottesloe Coast to see the beautiful seaside, which is just marvellous and oh so beautiful! I even catch a sunset while visiting wonderful Cottesloe coast. Do stay here with me on Tour and See the World! Thanks for reading and cheers.

In the last post, I showed Mandurah (in Western Australia) with its beautiful boat cruises and very nice atmosphere. In this post, we visit Fremantle, which I think is some kind of port city along the Western Australian coast. My brother and I even had a joke when we saw so many birds eating at Fremantle - when seagulls want buffet, where do they go? To Fremantle! When seagulls want to gamble? They go to Burswood! Nah, kidding. Anyways, beautiful pictures of Fremantle follow: The Maritime Museum in Fremantle where you can visit the exhibits and read all about the crazy mariner Cornelius who murdered many, or read about ancient maritime history and the story of imperialism; the nice city of Fremantle; and last, but not the least, the famous Fremantle market as well.

At Fremantle we also sat by the river side and watched the birds fly around. There were many yachts and boats as well! I think those were very lovely. OK, I'm done for today :) I think Subiaco follows in the next post, so do stay tuned for beautiful, nice and interesting pictures of Australia!

P. S. Oh, when I was there it was a Sunday and the next day was a day called Foundation Day, which seems to be a general public holiday. I might read about it and write about it in future posts, but that's just to let you know why the Fremantle market seems to be so busy in the morning! :) More to come in future posts on my travel site; do stay tuned and here with me.

OK I am BACK!!

Wow, this is going to be hard, but I'll try - my relatives who stay in Perth gave me a beautiful, wonderful tour of many cities and towns in Western Australia, and so I shall just start with Mandurah. First up - Perth itself is very beautiful and a very nice place to live in (and as we Singaporeans say, a very nice place to retire to as well). After a good night's rest on the first day, we took a 67km (or 65km?) road trip down to Mandurah to visit our first stop. In later posts to come, I show you nice pictures of Fremantle, Subiaco, Cottesloe Coast, Kings Park, Claremont heritage trails, St Mary's Cathedral, Joondalup, Sorrento Quay, the City of Stirling and its very famous Observation City (which is actually a big hotel!!!) and of course, Perth itself as well as the surrounding areas of beautiful vineyards, farms and land, land, glorious land. Those were all the places I visited during my stay at Perth, where my relatives stay in a two storey house overlooking the Swan River. Have I mentioned or reiterated that that's a most picturesque, quiet, lovely residential neighbourhood area in Perth? :) Lovely! Anyways, here are the pictures from Mandurah first, and more to come in future posts!

Oh yes, you can take a cruise at Mandurah, just as you can take a cruise along the Swan River at Perth. You might just want to do that. I fell in love with Western Australia right away. To come in the next post here on my travel site: Fremantle! Do stay right here with me on Tour and See the World :) Thank you.
