Perth Hills to the east of the city are the citizens natural recreational area.
The early Victorian settlers built the dam and in those days there was a railway track laid to bring the city folks for a day out.
Of course, that meant there had to be something to enjoy, a grand Victorian Park. The bust of the chief engineer on the dam project. Quite right too, Victorians treasured their engineers.
It being spring, we were lucky enough to have the flowering plants in full bloom.
Beautiful.
Kangaroos. Now how does this work? Hopping around in a forest? Would you let your kids loose in a forest on a pogo stick? Surely sprung legs are not at their best in a thicket of trees. We saw Kangs in almost every type of environment and most notably, dead on the road. One car passing every 5/10 mins and they still get hit. No other road kill seen, just Kangs. Very odd.
