Looking out over the Indian Ocean from our friend’s apartment.


A flock of Galah’s settle in the branches of a Norfolk Pine.

The Galah is a native species and one of many parrots and cockatoos seen around suburban Perth.


Many of Perth’s city beaches are patrolled 365 days a year.


It’s winter in Perth at the moment, when a series of strong cold fronts bring most of the annual rainfall.


The passing of a front is always welcomed by the Kite Surfers.


A coastal boardwalk helps preserve the fragile dune environment.


Winter storms and strong summer sea breezes ensure the sand is always on the move.


A peaceful winters day on City Beach not far from our house.


The Royal Freshwater Bay YC. Every sailor should return to his or her roots now and again?


Big waves from the Southern Ocean crash onto Canal Rocks in the Margaret River wine district, 250km south of Perth.


Majestic Karri trees flourish in the cooler and wetter conditions of the SW.


An Australian icon, the Kookaburra.


A young kangaroo comes looking for food.


An early spring flower, the Kangaroo Paw.
