Kings Park

With just shy of 300 steps, Jacab's Ladder is not the easier way to get into the park. But we did it munching on an ice cream. Easy peasy.

The botanic garden part of the park is sectioned into flora from all parts of the state. This is the Boab tree , a prized specimen in the park. These trees can live for over 1500 years and may have an ancestry stretching back 65 million years. Makes humans look like fly by nighters.

The double helix tower is a fitting sculpture for the park, given the diversity and difference of the life here.
Another monument to death. Underneath the obelisk are walls covered with the names of those who set off from Albany and didn't make it home.

That lady again. She is in Penang as well you know.
