today and yesterday

telethon was on over the weekend, always a really big event for perth. and this year they raised 6.5 million dollars, which is bloody amazing. after my sojourn at hyde park in the morning i went for a bit of a drive around the city, taking some photos. i worked out how to take panoramic shots after my battery had died and i read the camera manual.

the long building at the front is the convention and exhibition centre. i'm taking the pics from kings park. a few years ago i came across some old perth photos on the internet. bit of a comparison of the city between now and i think around the late 50s, early 60s.



this shot is of south perth, with a view over the narrows bridge. the bridge was completed in 1959.



these two are of the drive into kings park - one taken yesterday - the other i think in the late 50s.



a couple of pics of flowers in the park as well as a memorial.
