Narrowly avoided headache in Perth!
We've been worried about snakes, spiders, sharks and crocodiles but no one warned us about `killer' palm trees!
We were sitting near Elizabeth Quay waiting before our Swan River cruise to Freemantle when we heard this crashing sound....a big bit of palm tree landed behind our seat. A guy sitting nearby suggested that we should do the lottery! It was windy, but not gale force.
We were lucky and left smiling!
The river cruise took most of the afternoon and we loved it. Great views of Elizabeth Quay - fairly new and aimed at the tourist market.
The coast line near Freemantle reminds us of last year's sailing holiday in Croatia
There's lots of sporting activity in the Swan River, paragliding and sailing....these photos are for

We saw a couple of dolphins but they did n't hang around long enough to be photographed...or Jane does n't have the skills!
At Freemantle we had a 10 minute stop - long enough to find this old sailing ship docked up.
The return journey was a lot faster - we loved it!
After the boat trip we caught a couple of buses to see around Perth's Central Business District before taking a quick walk near our Airbnb. It's superbly located, only 5 minutes from the river. This Australian magpie was quite happy to be snapped!
