For this week’s PPAC I have a few from local outings.
We went out for lunch last week to a nearby suburb and I said to my hubby “I wonder if there are any murals I haven’t seen” and as I turned around there was this beautiful one staring right at me!

And here’s a fabulous one by Perth’s very own Stormie Mills

Surfers at Cottesloe
This is painted onto the side of the Surf Life Saving Club. I like how it blends into the sea and sky.
Yesterday evening I thought it would be a good idea to drive to Cottesloe to watch the sunset. My dear hubby did say he didn’t think there would one as it was too cloudy, of course he was right. I’ve never seen such a strange sky. After a 40 degrees the day before the temperature plummeted to 25 degrees bringing the most intense thick clouds and a very nippy wind. Still I managed to capture some shots of sculptures I’ve not seen before.
Every Friday Cee or Marsha from Always Write host a challenge – Photographing Public Art. The art should be visible from the street or sidewalk or in any outdoor places. Some suggestions from Cee below.
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.

The featured image is titled ‘Treecycle’ by Cecile Williams. It is indeed made from recycled books, wood and screws.
These are more artworks that we discovered on our recent tour of Pemberton, WA. It’s an amazing trail of nature and art, cleverly designed to blend in with the natural surroundings of the forest.
There is a whole community of artists and sculptors in this small town and you can read there story here.

On our way back to Perth from Kalgoorlie we made a quick stop at Westonia. Just a tiny town off the main highway with a population of under 300. This was a cute little place and I loved the way the people have made the most of the history there.
Established in 1911 by Alfred Weston after the discovery of gold was found in the area. By 1917 there was a population of 2,000. Westonia has won Tidy Towns twice in the last twenty years.
There is a caravan park, a good place for an overnight stay for the “Grey Nomads” travelling around Australia in their camper vans and caravans. Also there is a small gift shop/cafe and Post Office/Supermarket/Cafe.
We hoped to have lunch here but unfortunately they were just closing, but the Post Mistress was there delivering their mail and she very kindly offered to make us some rolls at the Post Office. Country town hospitality at its best.
I’ve used this post to link up with Cee’s Photographing Public Art as I thought it fell quite well under this category!
Thanks for visiting Westonia with me!
