I spent the majority of today in King's Park which is approximately 3.5 miles from our hotel. The park contains monuments, fountains, an art gallery, cafe, kids chasing ducks, and a botanical garden.
I took some really good (?) pictures...too bad the cable I need to download the pictures is with my spouse.
Regardless, there was a big boab tree, kangaroo foot plants, lots of color, tons of parrots and the art gallery was interesting to look through. I love the native art of Australia. Can't wait to go to Freemantle on Saturday to see what is available there. I could spend a lot of money on it.
And, of course, I had to buy a touristy koala Christmas decoration I couldn't live without in the mall I detoured to on the way home. The shopkeeper wanted to know if I was on holiday.
Of course I said: "Yes".
Shopkeeper: "From where?"
I said: "Queensland".
He didn't expect that answer. :)
Regardless - I will probably hit the mall again before I leave. It is an outdoor mall with lots of interesting shops!
