Subiaco Station Market

Nigel — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 12:08:51 +0000

Subiaco station market is a popular place for us to visit in the weekends. It’s a great place for fruit or veggie shopping and, or a bite to eat with many choices of cultural dishes on offer.

Perth Heritage Photos

Nigel — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 13:48:34 +0000

I do like to take Perth heritage photos. Apparently in the 1970’s & 1980’s many of the old buildings were removed to make way for building boom from the mining. Then people realised oh oh what have we done and are now making an effort to retain and highlight the remaining heritage buildings.

I make an effort to spot existing buildings and here are a few.

We live close to Barracks Arch. The building was dismantled by the local government to by way for the butt ugly highway, must to the dismay of the Perth people. All that remains of the 120 room building is the entrance.

Barracks Arch from the west side.

East side of Barrack’s Arch

One of our local cafes. Dome cafe tend to acquire original buildings for their cafe’s where they will renovate the interior into a traditional style to mirror the outside.

West dome cafe

The Melbourne hotel is a nice looking building. The pub inside is done in contemporary style which also functions as a sports bar.

There is actually a modern building on top of the Wills building. Not so noticeable.

Perth Images

We decided to take some contemporary Perth images close to us where we had never been. Being a Sunday many parts of central Perth can be a Ghost town but the sights were very nice.

Footbridge over the main highway.

Nice touch with the changing lights
