Cottesloe Groyne

A big swell but little breeze yesterday…sitting sketching on Cottesloe Groyne

Perth Zoo

A spontaneous day trip to Perth Zoo yesterday, a lovely warm and sunny late autumn day was a great time to visit the zoo to sketch the animals. I spent about 4 1/2 hours wandering around sketching at random (it costs $33 to get in so had to make the most of time).

Freo Giraffe

One Freo giraffe feeding….(one Fremantle crane loading/unloading)…on a sunny morning last week

Yenyening Lakes

Yenyening Lakes, Western Australia…and nearby

80 Guthrie Street, Osborne Park

One of the last houses in Osborne Park, Number 80 Guthrie Street. Most of the area is retail/industrial and the original homes have been demolished for new businesses. This place looked rather neglected with broken windows and piles of rubbish in the front yard…probably won’t be around for too much longer…

Point Peron

Point Peron, about 45 minutes drive south of Perth, a picturesque peninsula along the coast, lots o rocky little islands a reefs up and down the coast, looks to be a great place for a snorkel

Citroen Classic Cars

Classic Car meet-up at UWA a couple of weeks ago, French car theme, I sketched a hot red Citroen 2CV and a cute Citroen coffee van,,,

Fuel Pump

Wesco North Perth Service Station (corner of Angove and Woodville Streets, Perth) is a bit run down, has that original 1970’s look about it (maybe older). Seems to mostly provide mechanical servicing and has four fuel pumps, this one is clearly out of order…the “innards” of the machine are sliding down inside the body…an “ex-fuel pump”

Bayly Street

The last remaining house is Bayly Street, North Fremantle is surrounded by containers, trucks and shipping…such a cute house

South Fremantle

Sampling the cafe life down in South Fremantle with the Urban Sketchers recently…lockdown lifted, some sense of “normal” returned to some cool cafes
