Perth City on a Saturday Afternoon

I had a bit of a sleep in this morning, but spent the afternoon wandering around Perth City

The Pinnacles, WA

Last Sunday I headed up the Brand Highway to Cervantes on the coast.  I then headed south to Namburg National Park to have a look at The Pinnacles.  It was spectacular!  On the way back to Perth I dropped into Lancelin where the sand dunes are huge and very white!

The Swan Valley and Hillarys Boat Harbour

I wasn't sure what to do on Saturday afternoon, and had a look at my maps.  I saw the Swan Valley was quite close and decided to head out there for the afternoon.  I did some wine tasting and bought some yummy nougat.

After wards, I headed over to the northern beach area of Hillarys Boat Harbour and watched the sunset and had some dinner.
