Guildford Walk

A really nice Saturday morning, has go that Autumn coolness in the air. Today another short 4km walk, this time around the historic Guildford township. To add to the interest their are various plaques with descriptions about the various historic building and sites. Some of the building go back to the 1830s and 40s, very earliest years of the colony.

After our brisk walk we finished our time off with a coffee and scambled eggs at Jezebels a new coffee house. While sitting there a lady Peter knew from the days he worked in Swan Shire stopped to say hello.

No pictures today as I didn't pull the camera out of my bag. Next week we have a 8km walk along the river foreshore in the Guildford area.

Fremantle Heritage Walk

Today we had an easy walk of 4 kilometres around Fremantle. Weather was lovely, with a touch of coolness in the air. The walk went from Kings Square down high street, right down side street to the wharf then left past the Round House and then we went through the Fishing boat harbour area across Esplanade Park, past the Freo Markets (I bought a mango and paw paw while there) then back to the car.

On the way home we called by Zephers for a coffee. Peter informed me Zepher means wind. Peter also generously purchased a plate of bacon and eggs to energies us after our walk. Before returning to Peter's place we gave Lydia a visit. Next week our walk is around Guildford.

 

 

 

 

Kings Park walk Sat March 10 2012

Today is to be a 38deg day so we commenced the walk a little after 7:00am. Peter joined me on this walk. We parked the car next to Fraser's Restuarant in Kings Park. The park and the views are quite stunning, and the day had not yet heated up. We made our way along the scarpe getting a lovely view from the elevated platform. The walk then turned in land and double backed on itself and we ended up at the DNA Tower. From here we had the broad walk down to the children's play area. From here we followed the road back to where the car was parked. We lost a little part of our journey as the map was not very clear and we didn't get to do the detour through the bush part of Kings Park. All up we walked for about 1.5hrs.

Walking again

To my shame besides the more or less regular walks from where I live to a circuit around my neighborhood, I haven't done any adventurous walks for a while.

This week Kathryn bought me a book on walks around Perth. This motivated me to do a circuit of about 7km from the CBD, Up to Kings Park, behind the parliament and down St George's TCE.

This was a pleasant walk of about 80 minutes. The only downside was the parking fine of $50 as I was 20 minutes too late back to my car.
