Butterflies and rivers

butterfly

Isn’t this a great photo?

I can’t claim credit.  It’s one of my dad’s from his recent trip to the Kimberley.

That ochre coloured stain on the rock is in fact… ochre.

The butterfly had landed on some rock paintings.  In fact many had.

Maybe it was attracted to the art like my father.

I love its spotted chest.

Chest?  Surely I mean thorax.

The dots look as if they’ve been painted on too.

Perhaps the butterflies inspired the artists.

Maybe that’s why the butterflies land on the paintings?

The paintings are not Dot Paintings from the Western Desert but Wandjinas.

Not so many dots…

It’s time to go back to the Kimberley.

Instead, today I made do with the Swan River.

We decided to go canoeing and made our way from the Causeway around to East Perth.

The canoes were sea kayaks.

Clumsy plastic rafts, but the weather was calm and there was a real sense of adventure as we set off up the river under the bridge.

Our bodies, unused to sitting and paddling, soon complained and I fear tomorrow we will discover new muscles.

They’ll be the ones not moving the way they used to.

It felt good though to be doing something active and exploring a new aspect of our city.

Not quite the Kimberley perhaps.

One does what one can.

What would you do next if you were at the top of your game in a Melbourne restaurant?

Open another restaurant?

Get even more busy?

Well the fellow who runs this place got it right I reckon.

He has a restaurant in Albany which he opens when he feels like it.

Maybe he’ll open the whole restaurant, maybe he’ll just take a table of six, maybe he’ll go fishing and not show up for a week.

When my colleague wanted to hold a Christmas lunch there, he said yes but they had to have their orders in two days before and they ended up being the only ones in the restaurant.

This is not a place you can just roll up to and hope to get a table and so I will never ever dine there.

But I kind of like his attitude.

He obviously cooks for the pleasure of it and you can imagine the food he prepares will be made with a light heart.

And isn’t that what we want?

Not just from a chef but from whatever job we are doing, from whatever service we require?

I’m going to work on that light heart stuff.

Oh, and apparently the food this guy prepares is fantastic.

No surprises there.

Mulled wine and fried mice

Just back from Europe

Groover and I ventured down to Clancy’s to catch up with some friends who are freshly returned from their first trip to Europe.

I thought they had been rather carefree and adventurous by not planning every step of their journey.  It seemed to me romantic to head off, backpacks at the ready, but Feline said she wouldn’t do it again.

“Who wants to spend your precious holiday in an internet cafe planning and booking the next leg?”  She said.

Well… quite.

They would have spent more time in Amsterdam and less in Prague.

They found a fabulous two room hotel in a little town near the border of Spain and France.

mulledwine
Feline and I imbibe mulled wine.

Mulled wine was on the menu along with chips and something called “fried mice” – jalopeno chillis deep fried.

I wasn’t keen on coming back to Clancy’s (the restaurant with the relaxed attitude to people changing nappies at the table… ewww), but it’s one of the few places where you can get mulled wine and it is delicious.

Although I did feel a little queasy after the second glass… that could have been the chips…

St Patrick’s at night.

Afterwards, as we walked past St Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral, I was glad I had found my camera. Not quite the Duomos of Italy perhaps but quite picturesque all the same.

Better days in Bunbury

The Lord Forrest Hotel has seen them.

bunburyhotelroom2

I’m in Bunbury for a meeting or several.  It’s a fairly quick drive from Perth.  About two hours and when the bypass gets completed even quicker.

I was thinking about staying down in Dunsborough but the extra hour is a killer, especially after a full day at work.

So I’m ensconsed in the Lord Forrest.

And the bedspreads have that eighties feel.

There’s a slight sag to the bed.

Outside the wind whistles past my window – with apparently an ocean view – it’s a windy night in our southern city.

In the foyer, the hanging gardens of Babylon and a swimming pool.

Yes a key!  No electronic swipy thing for the Lord.

I can’t see anyone, although I can hear some blokey types doing that loud farewell thing blokes do when they’re on some kind of work thing and have a couple of drinks at the bar.

I sneak out in my undies and tee-shirt and snap a couple of photos.

Nothing happened.

I didn’t get caught.  Although there was a little moment when I couldn’t get the key out of the lock when I got back into my room.

I just wanted to let you know how important you are that I would risk discovery in my smalls.  (that aren’t that small by the way)

Oh come on… everyone has a pair of those!

The first winter storm was the last straw for the Cottesloe Pylon which sank into its rotton core, losing its metal tip in the briny.

The council are going to spend an extraordinary amount of money to put a single seagull’s perch together but it is after all an icon.

The modern church

So what do you think?

This is St Mary’s Cathedral in the centre of Perth undergoing extensive renovations and extensions.

As you can see the new look includes a very modern semicircular section around the front.  Long windows and curved pillars.

Very modern.

There’s also underground parking and extensive offices.

I guess I’d rather they make a wholly modern building somewhere else and keep the integrity of the older style.

I love the old cathedrals and churches of Italy and I can’t imagine them doing this.

On the other hand I think the glass pyramid works quite well at the Louvre.

The sharks at Blackwell Reach

1 Comment

blackwell-reach

A lot of people go diving off Blackwell Reach – or at least they used to – it’s very deep.

There are rumours of large river sharks that live down there.

I imagine the visibility is a little “confronting”, but maybe that just means ignorance is bliss.

Anyway my morning walk meandered down to Chidley Point, which is a delightful picnic spot in Mosman Park opposite the reach.

It was a still, quiet morning.

I love Perth.

There’s something special about seeing dolphins on your morning walk, don’t you think?

UPDATE: I just found out that the cliffs of Blackwell Reach is one of two locations that are part of Earth Cache in Western Australia. My sister is going to the Connecticut ones at the moment and inspired me to find out where they are in WA.

The other one is in the Yalgorup National Park – just south of Mandurah.
