I had the pleasure of watching this fantastic trombone player at the pool. Drinking cocktails, watching the sunset and listening to music, great way to spend a few hours.

Graveyard of Trees on the Beach
While we were at the Tanjung Rhu we took a walk along the deserted beach. In the distance I could see what looked like sculptures. When we got closer I could see they were massive tree roots. They were so intriguing I took a few photos. I like the way they had been left to their own devices creating natural sculptures.
There were some other interesting structures in the sea which we found out later were used as props for the Dutch Survivor TV programme.

~ A Pair of Perfect Posing Pelicans ~
~ Anyone for happy hour at Sunset ~
There’s nearly always a fabulous sunset at Cottelsoe Beach and so we treated ourselves to happy hour at one of the pubs along the seafront.
On Good Friday we were kindly invited to a friend’s place for dinner. The house overlooks the Swan River and the evening was just perfect, balmy with fabulous views and a full moon too. A wonderful way to start the Easter weekend.

A beautiful spring day in Perth, WA
After playing mahjong last week this sculpture caught my eye, I couldn’t work out what it said at first, it took my friend and I several tries! It sits on the beach promenade at City Beach, WA.

A Night out in the City
I thought it was high time we went out for dinner in the city, so yesterday I booked a restaurant that we’ve been to before but not for a while. Normally we tend to just visit our local as we know what we’re getting and always enjoy it! But time for a change. We only live 15 minutes away so it’s not a hassle.
When we arrived our hostess showed us to our table upstairs. I didn’t even know this place had an upstairs let alone a roof top area. We had a lovely table with an outside heater, although one arm got very warm while the other froze! I wondered being right at the top how the service would be. Well no worries there because we didn’t have to wait long at all. The service at this restaurant is first class and the atmosphere was wonderful.
OUR FOOD
Here we have Garlic Potato Gems, Caramelised Pork Satay Dip with Puffed Rice Crackers, Crispy Fried Chicken, Shredded Duck with Rolled Turmeric Wafer and Jumbo Tiger Prawns in Black Pepper Butter.
The menu had a few sections, Eats, Small Plates and Large Plates. We went for a few small plates, before I got too carried away the waitress stopped me and said that’s enough!
I think Perth must be one of the few cities left in Australia where the hospitality industry is booming. I hope before too long that the other capital cities begin to thrive again soon.
PS: I posted some photos on Facebook and Instagram but cut off Hubby’s head! I sure got lots of comments about that.

It’s All Water Over the Falls
Isn’t it odd that waterfalls are white when water is colourless!

A Few Sculptures by the Sea
Every year Cottesloe, Western Australia hosts Sculptures by the Sea and this year was the 17th year. It is one of the largest sculpture exhibitions in the World. We dropped by last week, fortunately we arrived just in time as it was the last day and some of the works had already been taken down. It runs for around two weeks in March.
The sculptures are arranged all along the beach and on the walkway above. Some are truly magnificent and wonderful works of art. My favourite type of gallery – outside!
Below are some of my favourites.
Labyrinth – Andrea Vinkovic
All the above stones are intricately carved but I couldn’t find anything about each stone’s story.
The backs of the stones are also carved, such fascinating designs
The above sculpture is made of bronze
This is made from Wandoo wood a type of eucalyptus and steel
This work is inspired by traditional Korean lucky pouch “Bokjumeoni”. It’s made of sandstone and rope.
The Boab – Tuinna Blackie
Interpretation of the Tree of Life
Two Little Ladies – a reflection in The Boab
This is an event I try to see every year. It’s best to come early in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is not so strong.
