my city - east perth

i live in perth, western australia.
my family moved here more then 25 years ago to start a new life.
even though it is a small city compared to sydney or melbourne,
i still love its small city, simple laidback style.
i love it here, it is home for me, i dont know if we'll ever move.

i've decided to showcase bits and pieces of perth that i love the most.
the following pics are mainly scenery, houses, art, architecture or anything that takes my fancy, that i have found around a particular area.

first suburb: east perth
primarily an industrial area in early twentieth century, it has now turned into a yuppy-ish suburb full of modern townhouses and apartments. Many of the townhouses are custom designed and built to accomodate for the small land lots. The creativity of these architects absolutely fascinate me.

i would love to live in east perth [if i could afford it], it has a great city feel with lots of amazing parks and facilities nearby. if you do get the chance to visit perth, and you have some spare time, come and check out east perth, especially the claisebrook area. take a short walk, have a coffee along the waterfront and check out the amazing terraced townhouses along the waterfront. they are just charming! my pics really did not do them any justice.

ps: i was in the east perth area because i had to go to the chinese consulate to pick up my passports! shanghai here i come!
