Kings Gardens Perth

We found the Ellard BnB very suitable even though we had a shared bathroom and toilet. Andrea (Duncan's second cousin) picked us up about 9.30am and we set off for Kings Gardens  - over 400Ha (1000 acres) of walks and parks with different Themes. Of course we couldn't do it all, So we did several native plant walks.

Duncan and Andrea
These were originally called black boys by Captain Cook as when they grow larger their black trunks look like natives of a dark skin wearing a head-dress. They are now called grass trees as Black Boys is just not PC.
Kangaroo Paw plants are now coming in a mass of colours.

I seem to only be able to download 8 pictures at a time so this is only half a days adventure.
