We packed up and did our cleaning on this, our last full day of the AirBnB. As we were here for just a week, it was pretty straight forward so we had some time to take a last walk along the Swan River. The river was choppy and a stiff wind was blowing up river trying to dislodge my hat. Even thought the sun was bright and high in the sky the wind had a bit of a chill. We had to turn around at the bend in the river where the wind was unchecked as it was full blast. On the way back, I saw a new bird, the musk duck, that I had been looking for the entire time we were in Perth. A nice going away gift.

Reading to the little one
The book is titled "The Swan River Saga"
A very unique sculpture. It reminds me of a drill bit for a well digging rig
A black swan made from bronze

Swimming low in the water
It is the elusive musk duck
A stump that looks like a funky teddy bear
