Beautiful Balingup

Fabulous Freo

Running to the future, looking to the past
South freo Beach

Found myself in Fremantle again today, after coming on Friday to Spare Parts Puppet theatre. I do absolutely love the place, especially its historic buildings and the place it shares in the the Bride Ships history. Being by the sea, this is the where 50 female immigrants from the Lancashire cotton mills arrived to escape the cotton famine and start new lives in the Swan River colony 1863 .

Iconic Perth

The Black Swan

Fremantle Market

Freo Eccentric

Dingo Flour Factory

I have been collecting images of some of the objects and signs I see, which sum up for me the iconic style and symbolism of Perth and Western Australia. What I love is the kind of eclectic madness thats here, from the Americanisation of the 50's, the Victorian empire, the rightful Indigenous influence and the multiculturism of all the world living here in Perth.
