This supposedly closed down last year, but it still looks open to me. I pass through Mt Lawley on the way to work, assuming I drive in.

As part of the transition to the SmartRider ticketing system for public transport, you can't get into Perth train station anymore unless you have a ticket or a smartcard. That's why it's all surrounded with bars and fencing. That guy in the foreground looks very camp!

I catch my bus home from this intersection. The Hay St mall is hiding between the two heritage buildings in the foreground.

This is the building I work in. The downstairs shop, MYO, is a cool idea - you make your own sandwiches, pizzas and stuff, then pay on the way out. They also do really nice coffee, the owner is training to be a Barista... also, he looks like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings.

Just goes to show, Perth is a city of cranes right now. Note the Telstra building and Horseshoe bridge. Taken from the Art Gallery walkway.

A little piece of London in the middle of the Perth CBD. One of the bells is missing from the tower though, so it sounds all wrong when it chimes. It's been broken since 2007.
