So I'm basically still continuing the backlog of photo's that I have. These are some more of Perth that I took while going for a wonder along the river
And so, as the Dutch explorers came up the river they saw the. . . . .
Black Swans, hence the name, River Swan
Talking of Dutch Explorers, the Sundial on the Jetty, by the River is dedicated to
Willem De Vlamingh (I have no idea how to pronounce the surname!) who travelled from Amsterdam to Australia, coming up the (now named) Swan River in Late Dec 1696 and then arriving in mainland Perth in early Jan 1697. On the sail below shows a map of his voyage (although not clear in the photo!)
Can you send me a cygnet please?
