The 'Wheel of Perth' is located on the Perth foreshore near Barrack Square and opened on 7th January 2009. Passengers are lifted to a height of 50 metres to experience spectacular views of Perth City and the Swan River. Enjoy the Ride! Sadly the "Wheel of Perth" closed on 2 May 2010 and the Perth skyline will never be the same again. The reason for the closure is the commencement of work on the controversial Perth waterfront redevelopment plans with a $250 million price tag as revealed by Premier Colin Barnett and Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi. Fortunately, I have memories of an enjoyable ride and an album of photos to treasure.

A return to Law Walk in Kings Park to see the regeneration and re-growth of the natural bush in the 12 months since the devastating bushfire of January 2009. View the Swan River from Law Walk and enjoy trees and wildflowers in areas that were not affected by the bushfire.

Enjoy the assortment of colours and varieties of named roses flowering in my home garden.

A day in the sun to enjoy the scenic beauty to be found in the Ramsar listed Peel-Yalgorup System containing Wetlands of International Importance. Marvel at the endangered Thrombolites or ‘living rocks’ on the eastern bank of Lake Clifton in Yalgorup National Park. Enjoy the tranquility and scenic beauty of Island Point Reserve on the Harvey Estuary, before completing a lovely day with a final stop at the Dawesville Jetty.
