At high tide the waters of Perth’s Swan-Canning Estuary can cover 55 square kilometres – a surface area just a whisker larger than Sydney Harbour. Point Walter is where the Swan “turns the corner”, then suddenly gets much narrower and deeper.

According to the first such detailed study/guesstimate, a relative newcomer to our ancient land kills more than one million Australian birds, each day.

This post’s featured image was taken within the same second as yesterday’s – at 5.18 pm on Friday September 22, 2017.
On a “wintry” Spring day much changes within a few minutes.
All photos in this post were taken in one seven minute “window”, whilst standing on Little Beach, looking across Two Peoples Bay towards Mount Manypeaks.

All photos taken Friday 8 September, 2017, in the bushland of Kings Park…an easy walk (or free bus into the manicured part of Kings Park, then a short walk into its bushland) from Perth’s CBD.

You could describe the British trio’s music as “chamber-folk”, the Norwegian tuba virtuoso’s as “chamber-jazz”.
I am wary of hyphenated “chamber” musics; recordings so-described oft prove anaemic, twee, wannabe.
No such problem here: two very different ensembles have each created something singular, beautiful, with spine.

Perth’s King’s Park – a short walk or free bus trip from the CBD – is bigger than New York’s Central Park.
It is also vastly richer in local flora.
Nearer to the Indian Ocean and just 8 kilometres from Perth’s GPO, the even bigger Bold Park has more than 300 local plant species…and (alas!) more than 200 introduced ones.
All photos taken today, Monday September 4, 2017 in Bold Park. Your further zooming/enlarging may prove rewarding.
