The Bell Tower (June 2011)| The landmark towering glass spire of The Bell Tower, which was opened in 2000 as Western Australia’s Millennium project, is home to the Swan Bells. The Bell Tower is one of the largest musical instruments on earth and was custom built to house the historically significant bells of Saint Martin in the Fields Church, the parish church of Buckingham Palace in Trafalgar Square, London. These bells date back to before the 14th century! As one of Western Australia's unique attractions, The Bell Tower offers tourists fascinating displays on these famous bells and the ancient art of bell ringing, as well as stunning 360 degree views of Perth city skyline and the Swan River from the sixth floor open air observation deck. The Bell Tower is the only place in the world where you can view bell ringing in action or where you can even have a go at bell ringing yourself in one of their interactive demonstrations. Located where the City of Perth meets the Swan River in Barrack Square, just a short five minute stroll from the city of Perth. |

BIG SUR & CARMEL BY THE SEA (May 31 / June 3, 2011)Here is a collection of photos from our road trip to Carmel and Big Sur last week. Highway 1 is closed to through traffic, requiring travel to Carmel via Salinas. Once in Carmel, one can drive south on Hwy 1 for 64 miles to the closure, and that was enough to get us past Big Sur and to enjoy miles of stunning views.

Birds in Queens Gardens (May 2011)| The original site of Queens Gardens was used by colonists for duck hunting and horse racing. However it was soon discovered that the clay deposits on the site were suitable for brick making. By the mid 1800's the site had become a brickworks where the clay was mined and then used for the production of bricks. Around the 1890's brick extraction became difficult and the pits and kilns were abandoned. In 1894 a decision was made to have the abandoned reserve developed into public gardens. The brick kilns were removed and the clay pits were transformed into the beautiful ponds you see today. The site was renamed East Perth Park and then changed once more to Queens Gardens in honour of Queen Victoria. Today the gardens attract an abundance of bird life such as Black Swans and other local Water Birds. |
