Trip to Mandurah (21/11/09)
Alright so here's some pictures from my trip to Mandurah. Basically its the southernmost station on the train line, anything more southerly of that will need independent bus charters, such as Albany, where Colby comes from. But anyways here's a look at the place. Enjoy!
This is the first sight that greets you once u get off the shuttle bus in Mandurah, basically, its kind of an enclave, and condos on the other side.
The river was quite dry, and yeah there were gulls and all on the dried parts closer to the shore.
And of cos the odd small boy walking around as well.
This is the inside or rather the lobby area of the performing arts centre in Mandurah. They were having a free arts exhibition, so I decided to come in and take a look.
Inside the exhibition hall. The paintings were oil paintings of this nearby place called Margaret River.
This, to me was the highlight of the whole trip. Went to this new development, which was kinda modelled after a Venice theme. The houses are to the right, and yes, you can just park your boat at the back of your house and walk up, straight into your home. WATTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
Another view of the houses here, I think you must be filthy rich to live here man.
Another view from just outside a house, imagine walking behind your house and seeing this. Realli, WOW.
Something random at the side of the street. A HUGEE chair, and a terracota soldier replica.
Just a cool art piece in the middle of Mandurah.
Of cos can't go anywhere without a trip to the bach. Look at the sand, beautiful absolutely, miles of this type of fine sand.
Sail boats in the distance.
I can never get sick of the view of an empty horizon, just makes you feel that you are so small in the bigger scheme of things.
Another great view of the beach.
Just a random flag pole, you see the Aussie flag at the top, the Aboriginal flag to its right, and the state flag to the left.I guess if there is a way to describe the vibe I get from Mandurah, would be like if the boat quay area was changed to a residential area. They had lots of stuff along the river and of cos the shore nearby as well. A relaxing place really, and I had a good time looking at everything there. Plus it was just about 45 min from Perth so wasn't that far as well.
Missing all, and sorry about the hair (vicious wind),
