I’m not inclined to often make a recommendation, but while I was staying at one of Perth Hotels Australia, I was quite impressed with The Caravan Park at Karrinyup Waters. It’s actually in a suburb of Perth. I found it by accident by car as I was driving to visit with a friend at her home.
I parked my car at the park and notified my friend that I’ll be a little late. I told her way and she told me she was hoping I would do just exactly that, see the park and have to investigate it’s simple beauty. The park is situated on a small lake. It even has ducks, black swans and geese. It was early enough in the morning, so I got to observe the fowls morning rituals, waddling up to anyone who will feed them. I noticed all the humans within waddling distance ignored the ‘Do Not Feed the Fowl’ signs posted everywhere.
I sat down and only after a few moments, felt a presence over my right shoulder. I turned my head, and there was a big black swan starring at me, eye to eye. I had no food to feed him, when he realized this, he left. It was really touch and go there for a few moments, I wasn’t sure if he’d be mad that I was the only one with no food and if he’d bite me, but, fortunately he only walked away, looking for his next human.
I stayed for about an hour and left the park to visit with my friend of many years. She took me to see Perth, the non-tourist Perth. The first place she took me too was a plaza called Forrest Place and when we arrived there was a big happening going on. There were bands, singers, dancers, mimes, clowns on stilts. We asked around to find out why all the hoopla, and apparently it was Catholic Education Day. I guess that’s a big thing in Perth. It was way too much for us so she was trying to figure out where else to take me.
We stopped at the information booth at the plaza and she told us to check out the Perth Mint. My friend has never been to the Mint, she really didn’t have anything better for me, so off we went. I do not recommend this as a place to see in Perth. I think tomorrow, after I finish my visit with my friend, I’ll do my own site seeing.
