PERTH MARCH 2013

Day 1 - arrival and into the city

Rekindling thru some old photos. Kinda trip down memory lane.

No chronicle of times. Photos are randomly selected. Latest one being first , so as easier for recalling information.

On the way to the Perth City soon after landed at the Perth. It was bright and beautiful Saturday morning .Sun was shining brightly but rather chill about 17 degrees.

We took a light breakfast and catch the coaster right into Perth city. Airport to the City Centre took approx 1hr drive by Aussie driving standard, possible twice as fast by Malaysian.

This was part of the airport. Probably same size as Malaysia's LCCT . Passengers arrival was light during that early morning.

You'd probably notice quite handful of Aussie Senior Citizen up and about in the Perth Airport. They are the Gold Coats. BTW, Gold Coast is in Brisbane ya...This is Gold Coats

Perth Airport has a wonderful group of volunteers called ‘Gold Coats’ who chose to volunteer and make a worthwhile contribution to people's travel experience.

'Gold Coats' (named for the yellow jackets they wear) assist passengers and visitors in the terminals by providing information and assistance where required. These volunteers help create a warm and welcoming environment for visitors, and a positive first and last impression of Western Australia for travellers

Sights for sore eyes. Bright blue skies with hardly clouds yet it was kind of chill to the bone. It was around 8am though. Saturday.

 Hardly any traffic.Hardly people on the street too, except some people,ie son and dad hehe.. cycling.

Some of prehistoric building, cowboy like achitecture are maintained , restored and still look good.

Spotted the 1st backpacker place along the way. One of the travellers in the same van disembarked here. Still no sign of crowd at this time.

Hmmm...no one out here just yet...maybe in a little while later..

Finally aha...there's someone here walking on the street. Maybe just another traveller. Shops were not opened yet. It was just about 09:00am.

 In to the city. mix of old building in stretch and high rises on the back. Traffic was easy, well almost hardly any traffic at this hour.

 This is almost reaching the Hotel. We stayed in The Criterion Hotel on the Hay Street
