The drive to King's Park. Just simply beautiful and peaceful.
Coming from a tropical country where trying to have a picnic at a park is just something too stupid to do, suddenly having a picnic at King's Park in a beautiful spring morning is almost like in heaven. The acres and acres of beautifully manicured lawn is suddenly so inviting.
King's Park which also serves as the Botanic Garden apparently features about 250 species of plants. These are just 2 of the blooming species in Australia that I took the interest to captured because I have never seen such flower in tropical country.
One of the most important or star attraction in King's Park is the Boab Tree. The Boab Tree is a typical native plant in Australia and this particular one is 750 years old. Of course it doesn't happened to be here 750 years ago. It was transported 3200km from Warmun to this park and it has a name! Its Gija Jumulu. This picture probably doesn't do justice to it but you when you see it in person, you will gasps in awe.
OK, something that I'm totally upset is that there is a glass bridge in the middle of Kings Park and it seems like you are walking on top of trees at some point. But while I was there, it was closed due to weather condition. OK OK, I mean the wind is a bit strong but not likely it is going to blow us off the bridge right. Bummer. Anyway this is the entrance / the start of the bridge.
This is a very important view! If you look properly you'll be able to see that it is the meeting of two rivers. The Swan and Canning Rivers meet here to form a vast expanse of water symbolising strength of unity by the Nyoongar culture. Nyoongar people are the indigeneous people of West Australia.
While in King's Park, you shouldn't missed taking the bush walk. Apart from the fact that bush walking is very uniquely Australia, the bush walk in King's Park offers an unbelievble panoramic view of the huge blue unpolluted river at every corner. Its almost as beautiful as going down the Great Ocean Road. This is me standing at one of the look out point. Gorgeous!
At one side of King's Park, there is a War Memorial to commemorate the courage of Western Australians that died for their country. It is placed in such a beautiful spot fronting the river that as you walk down to the structure, you just stop every 2 steps to take it all in. Beautiful Beautiful!
And finally, to catch the best view of the Perth City, you have to be at King's Park. Its such a bummer that I forgot to bring my wide angle lens.
