Kings Park 19 November 2019
Now for my very last tale from that remarkable holiday.
Before we left Herdsmans Lake There were two Australian Ravens completely engrossed in something and took absolutely no interest in me at all.
Up in a tree, against the light was a honeyeater, which I've failed to identify, but think it must be Brown Honeyeater.
We then moved on to Kings Park, which the people of Perth are very proud of. It was certainly a lovely place.
We had a lovely lunch in the cafe before wandering down to look at the view over the water. Then walking along the path with the intention of going along the cliff walk. But it was just so hot (41 C and humid with it) that I began to feel a little faint. So called that off and went and sat in the Jarrah Pavilion for a little (that's where I took the arty view
)
After returning to the cafe for a cool drink, it was decided to call a halt to the day and head for some friends of Alex and June's where they were staying the night.
Such lovely people, who made me feel very welcome.
The first picture at the park shows the long view of the War Memorial and Flame of Remembrance, then two views overlooking Perth Water.
I flew out that evening with Emirates via Dubai and arrived back in Edinburgh to a temperature of 2 C. Bit of a shock that LOL
I do hope you've enjoyed my travels in this remarkable country.
There are not enough words really to thank my wonderful Birdforum friends and hosts for their kindness in helping me organise this trip; it was just incredible the work they put in.:t:
I now need to finalise the lists, so bear with me while I sort them.
