Roxy and Linda's Australia Blog
May 3, 2019 ..... Back to the welcome page and listings for other links
We awoke
to a beautiful sunny day, perfect to walk and explore Perth. We headed into
town on a series of bike/pedestrian paths along and crossing the Swan River.
Perth and surrounding suburbs are home to 2 million folks, about 90% of Western
Australia's population. People are friendly, the city is clean with lots of
parks & green space. First we had a few tech issues to resolve, SIM cards
for our phones and then a visit to an Apple store. Business done, we wandered
through downtown, up to Kings Park & Botanic Gardens, toured the Perth
Mint and stopped at a neighborhood microbrewery.
