Australia Day

The 26th of January is Australia Day and it usually turns into one big party all around the country. This is very much different than Polish Independence Day which is more like ANZAC Day here. In Perth Australia Day also means Lotterywest Skyworks – huge half an hour fireworks show which is always synchronised with music being broadcast by one of the local radio stations. Have a look how people from Perth gather on the Swan river foreshore to check it out.

Caversham Wildlife Park

Today few photos of Australian icons: kangaroos and koalas. Plus few other animals that you can meet at the Caversham Wildlife Park which is located at the Whiteman Park, around 25km from Perth city center. If you feel like feeding a roo or riding a camel, that’s the place to go.

HMAS Ovens Submarine

Remember when I said it was 43 degrees on Sunday? Well, it was over 40 also on Monday and Tuesday so pretty much any way of trying to cool down is worth a try. So let’s go inside the HMAS Ovens Submarine that you can visit at the WA Martime Museum in Fremantle.

Scarborough Beach

Alright, today I just have to mention the temperature cause we’ve had this year’s hottest day so far: it was 43 degrees and believe me it is really, really hot. It’s pretty much too hot to do anything except staying at home with the air con on all the time. Fortunately yesterday was a little bit cooler (just a bit tho, 35 I think) so I went to one of the most popular beaches in Perth: Scarborough. And of course took few pictures so that you can check it out as well.

AQWA – the Aquarium of Western Australia

We’ve been to Freo, which is south, before so it’s time to find some attractions in the north part of Perth. One of them is definitely AQWA – the Aquarium of Western Australia, the biggest aquarium and underwater tunnel in Australia. It’s hard to show all the interesting animals on photos but maybe just a few will convince you to make your way up to Hillarys to check AQWA out.
