Armiguys downunder Pt 4

PERTH CITY
So today the family introduced CKZ to the sites of Perth City, starting off at Kings Park. This is Perths most visited site seeing venue and is a place that overlooks the city, the Swan River and strips going south. Was an overcast day...which is the best walking weather.


Now everyone has heard of Jacobs ladder, and its not for the faint hearted. If your scared of heights hold on tight to the rails. Its just a flight of stairs thats going up the side of a hill, but the flight goes on and on. Great for exercising and working out. And great for bringing on labour if your pregnant and overdue... up n down 3 times...thanks Hayden.


Perth City didn't disappoint and it was a great time for photo ops and for the family to hang out.

Clint and Kate outside of London Court. Now London court looks like a scene from harry potter and kinda reminds you of Daegon Alley. It is very English with its tudor style shops etc. We spent a bit of time here with the Canterbury Shop located here and other souvenirs shops.That was the whole reason for coming to the city. Cheap souvenirs.


Awwwww aren't they just sooo cute.

Nice Posing Kate....


Don't you just love this shot. Speechless is all you could say.


Now we came into the city a couple of times, one to do some souvenir shopping the other was to pick up Aunty kates diamond ring that Uncle clint brought her, apparently at his moment of weakness. So she was just anxious to see this ring. It was beautiful and a great score on the price. So there are some photos when we took them on another occassion and also with the family.


The group together on the QV1 sculpture. Don't ask me what it is...its just a big red twisted hunk of metal in the front of a building. Bit of an eye sore really.



Now, it usually takes Haydee a lil while to warm up to people she hasn't met before. But somehow, Uncle Clint has this uncanny affect on the kids...in fact on all of them. They all just loved jumping and wrestling with him and loved his shoulder rides. Not a day went by that he had someones kid on his shoulders and using their feet as a machine gun. Today was Haydee's turn. I think he's missing his police issue gun.


There was this Japanese Guy playing the Didgereedo on Hay Street and he was surprisingly pretty good.



You know how we went down Jacobs ladder. well when one goes down, you must come up. And this is the steep hill that goes up what seems like forever. Some still had the energy to run the rest of the way (you are called freaky people) Oh Deborah and Bailey thats you...hahaha

Perth is not without its quirks. have you ever seen a motorbike with a towball on the back. StrangeI know.
