Boys trip to Perth (Part 2)

So after a ripper feed at the Northbridge Brewing Company we had a nice short walk to the Western Australian Museum, to have a gander at some interesting things inside but their weren't much going on as there about to shut it up for a building upgrade. And as you might of seen in the picture, that for some reason it will take 4 bloody years to get it done..... bloody government!

Here's the little fella Harrison showing us a skeleton of a Killer Whale, that's one big headed fish hay. Now before all you goodie goodies start telling me that an orca is actually a whale belonging to the dolphin family, can I just say to you that to me it's just a bloody big fish..... that can eat you!

Here's my two mates showing us a huge Ridgie-didge 12.4 tonnes of Iron meteorite, which happens to be the biggest meteorite in Australia. It was found way out woop woop way towards Mundrabilla, it was found way back in 1966 on the Nullarbor Plains.

After a bit more of a stickybeak around the place we walked across the street to the Western Australia Art's Museum, where the first thing we see is this 'Wodjamacallit' made by some scallywag so why not a quick photo.

In amongst a lot of crap paintings we finally came to this world famous painting by a aussie fella named George Pitt Morison, who painted this 1929 oil-on-canvas painting which depicts the ceremony by which the town of Perth, Western Australia was founded on 12 August 1829.... cool.

Now I'm not a big lover of Art stuff but how about this little ripper, it's named TIMBER by it's builder Darcey Schouten. Now this is really ridgie-didge aussie art and it was made out of driftwood which as he say's 'Driftwood is a natural element that is the result from both the trees and the river.'

After we left the Art's museum we wondered around Perth towards Forest Chase, where Harrison had a walk through the water maze.

On our way to Elizabeth Quay we had a wonder down an alley way, where we found some more street art. Here's Harrison showing us a ripper painted thingummyjig

And some more paintings we had a squizz at as we wondered around.

Jacko showing us another piece of street art which we found in Wolf Lane, which is just a little laneway between Murray street and Hay street.

Here's yours truly showing ya my type of art where there is a little bit of boob, and it directs you to a Pub.

And finally we made it down to Elizabeth Keys where we found this ripper sculpture, which is called 'First Contact' which is at the entrance to the inlet. The sculpture is by acclaimed Aboriginal Noongar artist Laurel Nannup, and it tells the little-known story of how her people saw the arrival of British colonists on sailing ships. A five-metre bird with its wings stretched on a boat, the sculpture reflects the story that the Noongar people believed the sailing boats were their ancestors flying back from Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) to see them.... weren't they in for a surprise!

Here's Harrison with Perth city and Elizabeth Quay behind him, they spent $400 million building this quay.... now that's a bloody lot of moolah for an inlet with a small bridge!

Harry bumping into one of his mates ha,ha.

And finally we walked across the Park to the Elizabeth Quay subway! Yes we have our very own subway, okay it only goes for one station but still it's a subway! So we caught the train for that experience you could only get riding the subway, then it was a short walk to the Perth train station and our ride back to Midland.
