Cycling in Perth!

Thought I would cycle to Perth and take a train down to Fremantle and continuing cycling to my attachment at Spearwood... Made a few wrong calculations today... =x

Cockpit!

Bell tower in front of Perth city harbour...

Upon reaching Perth train station at 11.45 (which is damn slow! I expected to reach Perth by 11!)... Found out that not only is the Joondalup line disrupted (which was the reason I decided to cycle to Perth in the first place)... But so are the rest of the trains!

In the end... Cycle to the harbour and took a ferry ride over to South Perth and continued my journey to Spearwood from there...

The Transperth Ferry... The MV Shelley Taylor-Smith! Which brings me from Barrack Street to Mends Street... A 10 minutes ferry trip with a really really great view!

Bike at pier...

My bicycle squashing 2 kids' bike...

Perth city from the other side of the river!

Random sculpture at random park!

My bike at the football pitch... Which amazed some of the team... Who wonder what the hell I'm thinking cycling from Joondalup to Spearwood... I wonder too...

Riding into the sunset...

Bibra lake... In my opinion... The lakes north of the river are more beautiful... =x

Grumpy duck (the left one...) chases a little boy around the playground after the boy tried to play with it... Don't play with ducks!

The mandatory bicycle and signboard photo...

Took the train home from Murdoch...

Cycled around 70km today... My butt aches... But it was good fun... At least I think so... =x Introduced myself to the Perth Bicycling Network... A series of cycling path connecting Perth... Perth's public transport is also more 'bicycle friendly' compared to Singapore... Allowing the carriage of bicycle on it's trains and ferries... Not bus! My bicycle remained as faithful and reliable as ever! =x Have it for almost 8 years already...
