Finally we have reached Perth

We have reached Perth and we have a service booked in for Winnie at a Fiat Service Centre in Rockingham.  For accommodation before the service, we have been fortunate to enjoy the hospitality of Ron and Kerry who are CMCA members who offer accommodation for RV travellers in their backyard.  And what a backyard it is!

Kerry is a very keen gardener and the backyard, and especially the front yard which she has completely re-landscaped, is a credit to her skills.

The view of the house from where we are in Winnie.  The suburb is Mahagony Creek, an outer Perth suburb with many very large blocks.  We are really enjoying our stay here.

Yesterday we made a trip to the Mundaring Weir which has attractive surroundings and some walks.  This is the dam from which water is taken in the pipeline all the way to Kalgoorlie and all places in between.

We had coffee at the beautiful Mundaring Weir Hotel, a Federation-style building which was built in 1906 on the site of an older hotel.  It was a favourite retreat from the city, served by rail.  Many parts of the building were shipped from England.  Today it is also a venue for concerts and weekend events.

These beautifully coloured parrots flew around the area where we had coffee.

We took photos for our own pleasure but also to show our friend Brian back home, that there are such lovely birds elsewhere than at his beloved Polish Cafe in Mount Tamborine :-)
