Population of Perth - 1.6 million
I really had some bad luck during this vacation of mine as my 8 mp Olympus camera wasn't functioning properly as it kept on running out of juice so i had to use multiple cameras to take all the pics i wanted. The pics which are sharper and richer in colour were taken with my 8 mp cam while the lower quality ones were taken with my Nokia cell phone and the really bad ones were taken with my dad's 2mp cam phone.
I didn't really sleep well during my first night in Perth because it was like freezing but as soon as the sun popped out, it sure warmed things down. Day 2 was the day I started touring Perth and all those who joined any tours in Western Australia must wait beside this here Perth Sightseeing centre for their respective tour buses to arrive. The tour company that dominates Western Australia is the Australian Pinnacles Tours company because they bought up almost all of the tour companies in Western Australia.
Fast Facts: Perth has almost 300 sunny days in a year which makes it the sunniest City in Australia
According to the weather forecast, it was going to be cloudy but I was so lucky that the blue skies that Perth is so famous for finally shows itself and i just couldn't be happier as all I ever get to see in Kuching are gray skies:
My first destination for the day was King's Park:
Just beautiful:

The sky is as blue as the river unlike Sarawak and it's brown rivers:
I took this picture to remind myself of the how blue sky looks.
It's not like i get the see the sky this blue in Kuching you know?

After visiting King's Park, we went to the port city of Fremantle
which is located right beside the Indian Ocean (by the way,
i bought a new battery for my Olympus cam here in Fremantle
for 78 AUD!!! OMG!!! That was expansive!!! I bought it cause
when your battery keeps running low, it usually means that
the battery reached the end of it's life spend and after buying
the expansive battery... guess what??? It didn't work!!!!!!
I threw away 78 AUD!!!:
That's the Fremantle market behind me. It was closed
but I did return a few days later to do some shopping:

used to have cane cane girl shows to entertain it's guests:
