Simon & Caroline's World Tour 07/08

Either Perth is a very laid back, quiet and chilled out city, or Saturday is a good day to explore a new place. Or could it be the nice sunny day? Starting off with Kings Park we walked through the grounds, passing people enjoying the sun and climbed the double helix staircase of the DNA Tower for views of, well, some trees! Around the corner we did get a good look at the city centre, a smattering of high rises with the Swan river meandering past. Come to think of it most Australian city centres are clean and tidy with big modern glass skyscrapers - something mostly missing from UK cities (ok - London has a couple, but Perth has loads and is tiny in comparison). With our feet tired out with a day of walking, we retreated to that other trademark of Aussie cities - the beaches!
