14 September 2010. Just to compare with the ones I took 44 years ago in June 1966 (see my Railways Perth 1966 set www.flickr.com/photos/monochrome_trains/2971778257/in/set...! A pity the lovely slated roof with glass panelling has been replaced but it's good that at least there still is a roof and that the ironwork has been kept and cossetted.
Perth Stadium located in Burswood adjacent to the Swan River, Armadale railway line and Graham Farmer Freeway. It is the main venue for AFL football replacing Subiaco Oval as the home ground of the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers for the 2018 season. It is also the venue for large-drawing cricket matches what were previously played at the nearby WACA ground. Under a sponsorship arrangement it is currently known as Optus Stadium.
The stadium seats around 60,000 spectators as an oval with the ability to be reconfigured for for a rectangular field with a capacity of 65,000. The development of the Burswood stadium was chosen over a potential redevelopment of Subiaco to a similar capacity ground in mid 2011 - the previous plan was the build in Kitchener Park and demolish the existing Subiaco Oval until theconcept was abandoned in early 2009. The Burswood site selection was made due to its lack of development constraints and the presence of the railway line enabling a large station and sidings to be constructed.
The stadium site was previously part of Burswood Park Public Golf Course which closed and the site was split between the stadium and an adjacent hotel development servicing nearby Crown Casino. Decades prior to that the stadium site was Goodwood Racecourse - located alongside current Belmont Park Racecourse both were privately developed before being taken over by the Western Australian Turf Club in 1945 and Goodwood was subsequently closed.

Shots of the Causeway, a major traffic arterial from Perth across the Swan River connecting Adelaide Terrace and Riverside Drive to Albany Highway to Perth's south eastern suburbs. Prior to the construction of the Narrows Bridge and Kwinana Freeway in 1959 it provided the only river crossing from the Perth city centre.
The current bridge is the third to be constructed at this location. The first was a raised timber bridge between earthen embankments crossing what were then mudflats in 1843 and was operated a toll road initially. The low level meant the structure was prone to flooding. It was replaced by a second causeway in 1867 by a larger timber structure comprising of three bridges spanning the mudflats.
This was widened and strengthened in the early 20th century and again in the 1930's. Ultimately a footpath was added as well as a single tram track as part of Perth's tram system for the Victoria Park line in 1905. For the line's existence the causeway tram crossing remained single track with double track either side. Branches to South Perth and Como followed using the same line.
The third and current structure was completed in 1952 with two six lane bridges crossing a single Heirisson Island built up from the previous islands. The channels between were dredged to make them more navigable. Land was reclaimed on the western side near the present-day Adelaide Terrace-Riverside Drive intersection filling in the section which contained the third bridge of the 1867 causeway. This was the first major bridge in Perth and one of the first in Australia to be built using a composite steel concrete method, notable at the time as most road bridges in Western Australia crossing waterways were timber.
Trams never returned to the rebuilt causeway with the line to Como closing in June 1950 and Victoria Park December 1950. It was anticipated trolleybuses would serve these lines with additional vehicles ordered but wiring was never installed instead motor buses were used from that point onwards.
Traffic relief to the causeway would come in the form of the Graham Farmer Freeway in 2000. Afterwards the two centre lanes were converted to bus lanes which remain to this day.

The Perth Mint. Ou, a casa da moeda.
Isso aí era fazendo barras, moedas e etc. de ouro. Não podia bater foto =/
Mas foi MUITO legal de ver, todo o processo de derreter o outro, tu ver ele líquido (e como brilha), botar na água, etc.
The same viepoint as Mr. Barking's shot, but not as attractive! The Tesco's car park is about 5 feet above ground level. The Edinburgh Road bridge is to the left and the main lines beyond the tree line. Perth Prison visible through the trees.

One day after Perth had its hottest September day on record (34.2C, 1.5C above the 96 year old record of 32.7C on 30 Sep 1918), unusually cold and rainy conditions rolled into the city - but Aeava ignored the change of weather to support #PeoplesClimate and call for action on climate change.

The "domestic" block at 63A has been targetted by the local neds, no doubt under some freedom of expression thing. Some attempt has been made to secure the place but it is open to further attack.
