Australia is a nation big on sports. The Australian Football League (AFL) or “footy” is Australia’s iconic sport. The sport that Aussie kids grow up with. I’ve always wanted to watch a game to have a live game experience.
Hiking Bold Park, City Beach
A few weeks ago, a couple of friends and I headed to City Beach on a sunny morning to hike Bold Park. Bold Park surround by what is known as the wealthy “western suburbs”. It’s a beautifully maintained park and one of the few bushlands remaining in the urban areas of Perth.
Hiking Lesmurdie Falls on a winter day
Since coming back from New Zealand, I’ve been inspired to hike and explore the outdoors more. Lesmurdie Falls located in the Perth Hills area is only 30 minutes away from Perth. It is probably one of the most accessible, well known short hikes in Perth. Instead of doing our usual outdoor boxing/circuit session on the weekend, my friends and I decided to do a hike instead. It was quite a chilly winter day but we were soon warmed up once we started our hike. The trail was pretty quiet because of the cool weather and possible rain that day. So we pretty much had the trail to ourselves, only seeing a handful of other hikers.
Perth Urban Landscape Photowalk
Perth is Western Australia’s capital city. Western Australia is the biggest state in Australia but it is only home to over 2.5 million people. It’s more famous for it’s outback, national parks and regional towns than it is for Perth city itself. The city has grown so much in the last five years with it’s new laneways, bars and eateries. Coffee culture has also exploded in and around the city. The city itself has a mix of both old and new buildings, which makes it an interesting place to explore and photograph.
Exploring Araluen Botanic Park
Araluen Botanic Park is located in Perth Hills, just 35km from Perth city. The 59 hectares of garden and park is home to many Australia and international plants and flowers. It’s a well maintained and curated park. It gave me a serene and peaceful feeling as I explored the park.
