Circumnavigating Australia — Beaches on the Road to Perth


Cottesloe Beach

Beginning in North Fremantle and extending northward are a series of beautiful white sand beaches — Sand Tracks Beach, Coast Port Beach, Leighton Beach, Mosman Beach, an onward to today’s photo stop. Today we’re visiting Cottesloe Beach, in the Town of Cottesloe.

Cottesloe Beach

We were here on February 25. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere that works out to late August climate-wise. Thus, you can see that the beach had many visitors on this late summer day:

Our stop here was relatively brief on our excursion to Kings Park overlooking Perth, which is what I’ll be showing you on Wednesday. But for now it’s a day at the beach with a little sunbathing and scenery:

The water here is quite spectacular, with deep rich blues framed by white sand:

We alighted from the bus at the parking area next to the Cott Beach Kiosk. This is the view from the parking lot overlook:

And another from the footpath leading from the parking lot down to the beach:

We’ll take one last look at Cottesloe Beach with this panoramic view:

Circumnavigating Australia — Fremantle; WA Maritime Museum


WA Maritime Museum

It’s still Fremantle, and we’ve already visited the Fremantle War Memorial and the fishing boat harbour. When last I left you on Monday we were about to view the Western Australia (WA) Maritime Museum, which is quite the place. I found this stylized map of Fremantle Harbour on the building exterior a rather striking subject:

Inside the museum you’ll find a striking array of really fun photo subjects, which I’ll let do the rest of the talking for today:
