Alison took us for a good drive on Wednesday to help us familiarise ourselves with the greater Perth area. There place is north of Perth by about 40km and is very close to the RAAF base. So our trip started here and we went out to the coast. We followed the coastal road all the way down through Joondalup and on to Hilary. Hilary is one of the ferry ports for trips out to places such as Rottnest Island, and it was here that we stopped for lunch and a spot of shopping.

We continued on down the coast road and into Kings Park, Perth's botanical gardens. It was a beautiful afternoon and we spent a good hour or two wandering around the gardens. The tree top walk was particularly interesting and gave some great view down to the South Perth and Freemantle. The Pioneer Women's Garden had lots of plaques commemorating women and their organisations. It culminated with a large water fountain.
We stopped off at the garden's cafe for a cool drink before heading back through the rush hour traffic to Bullsbrook.
