Pinnacles

 

Adventuring outside the city we traveled two hours or so north to the Pinnacles Desert Area in Leinster last Wednesday! Josh had the day off for Anzac Day, which is like their Memorial Day here.

 

Had a little picnic in the sand and played around

 

Gretta wanted to play photographer and told us to walk away holding hands, she's getting pretty good!

 

 Then we had to stop by the beach of course, it was a gorgeous day!

 

Surfer girl! However, she doesn't like real waves....might be a problem.

Everything is pretty flat here, but that makes the sky seem sooooo much bigger! Its really beautiful!

 
Doesn't get much better than sunset on the beach!

For the Birds

This weekend we roamed around the suburbs again, heading up to Hillarys Boat Harbor area and I've been getting some time to just take pictures of things, so this is kind of a "photography" filled post!

 

There are a lot of exotic (to us anyway) birds that just hang around the park. There are also crows too, but they make the most horrendous sound. SO much worse then the CAW CAW we are used to.

I don't know what most of the birds are, but they are fun to take pictures of! 

Black Swan!

Perth, from across the river.

We got some dhufish at the fish market and it was soooo good! They feed on lobster and crab so taste a bit like that. Little expensive, but had to try it! Josh had been raving about it!

As you can tell, Maggie really wanted her picture taken this day.

Kanga-ROOOOOOS and other animals!

We went to the Caversham Wildlife Park and got to see lots of animals up close and personal this past weekend.

The kookaburra

Thankfully, the dingoes didn't eat our babies.

The wombat. 

Yawn, koalas sleep up to 20 hours a day and are usually only up for 30-45 minutes at a time!

By far the coolest thing, petting the kangaroos!

Little joey's are so soft!!

And finally some white ones, just to spice it up for you. 

We also got to see some sheep, lamb, a cow, horse, dogs, goats in the farm area. Got to see a sheep get a "haircut" even! Pretty fun time was had by all!
