Viewed from the Captain Cook Cruise boat from Fremantle up the Swan River to Perth. With my school friend who was over from the UK visiting her son and his family in Perth. Wonderful catch up :-) photos in comments.
For nearly 40,000 years the area on which Perth now stands was occupied by groups of the Nyoongar people and their ancestors – a fact that has been verified by the discovery of ancient stone implements near the Swan River which have been carbon dated at 38,000 years old.
In December, 1696, three ships in the fleet commanded by de Vlamingh anchored off Rottnest Island and on 5th January, 1697, a well-armed party landed near the present-day Cottesloe Beach, marching eastward to the Swan River near Freshwater Bay. They tried to contact some of the Nyoongar to enquire about the fate of survivors of the Ridderschap van Hollant, lost in 1694, but were unsuccessful. Following this encounter, they sailed north, but not before de Vlamingh had bestowed the name Swan on the river because of the black swans he saw swimming there.
Just over 100 years later, in 1829, Captain James Stirling founded Perth as part of the Swan River Colony. Stirling thought the natural environment around Perth was “as beautiful as anything of this kind I had ever witnessed” and advocated that a colony be established there. The British Government agreed to found the colony as the first free settlement in Australia, and settlers began to arrive in Western Australia in June 1829.

Stirling officially declared the foundation of Perth, capital of the colony, on 12 August 1829, the date chosen to honour the birthday of the King George IV. The name of Perth was chosen after the birthplace of Sir George Murray, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies.

A friend of mine sent me this great picture from Perth, Australia , taken in January 26, 2007. When at the same time, fireworks, lightnings and a flying star were at the sky.
Uma amiga me mandou esta foto.
26 de Janeiro em Perth, na Austrália, uma multidão juntou-se numa praia
local para testemunhar um espetáculo de fogos-de-artifício. Entretanto, um raio
apareceu do lado direito. Mas o mais inesperado foi ,
entre estas duas manifestações de luz , aparecer uma terceira, o Cometa
McNaught, visível no hemisfério sul.
The wonderful Actor Heath Ledger was born here , in this city !!
Heath Ledger -Date of Birth:
4 April 1979, Perth, Western Australia,
Date : 21st April 2016
Time : 5:30am
Location : Gooseberry Hill : 31.9414°S 116.0479°E
Camera : Nikon D750
Lens : Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 C lens + Sigma TC-2001 Teleconverter
Distance from the camera to Perth city : 18km
Everything was lined up perfectly. Just the right amount of cloud cover. The moon mildly illuminating the Perth CBD... and then the wind picked up.
I was planning for a 1200mm shot of the moon behind the city but the conditions quickly became unfavourable. Zooming out the 750mm, I managed to salvage the mornings' shoot.
Although it's 6 months old, and I've taken a few more similar shots since, this remains one of my favourite photographs of Perth city.
This view of the cityscape was taken from the South Perth foreshore on Australia Day 2015, not long after the firework display had ended.
I'd only had my Fuji X-A1 for about 4 weeks, and as I recall, this was the first time I started to experiment with different shutter speeds and settings.
The night time view of the city is always striking to behold. On this particular occasion the weather was perfect and the water calm and still. I love the glassy smooth surface of the water, and the reflections of the city lights on the Swan River.
Rumbling over the Tay Bridge at Perth power car 43127 trails 1T62 the 1839 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street, 43144 was leading.
This viaduct must be a little scary when a heavy freight or a steam special uses it.

When the light’s right…
… drop everything, grab your camera, and get snapping. I spotted this scene from our kitchen window, grabbed my camera, ran upstairs… and even in that short time (less than 1 minute?), the light had changed quite a bit.
I like the contrast of the sunshine on the woods and the dark clouds in the background. The city in the foreground sets some kind of context.
