The day had finally arrived for my swim with the dolphins adventure, and the Perth weather was perfect – a bright and sunny day with not a cloud in the sky.

My adventure with the dolphins started in darkness however, as I had set my alarm clock for an early wake up call; to get to my pick up point before 7am. My chosen pick up point was the Wellington Street Coach Tourist Stand in the Perth CBD.

For those who have not been to the Tourist Stand in the city, it is located between William Street and Queen St on the bus port side of Wellington Street. Look out for the prominent sign Wellington Street Coach Tourist Stand next to the glass bus shelter. You can’t miss it!

Wildflowers in all their natural beauty have long been depicted in art, photography and literature. One need only look to the impressionists like Monet and Renoir for great examples of their charm.

Western Australia is synonymous with wildflowers and for several months every year the rain and sun transform what is some of the harshest landscape in the world into Mother Nature’s own garden.

If you’re looking for a fun or relaxing day out with family and friends, it’s worth paying a visit to Point Walter Reserve. Spanning about a third of the southern riverside suburb of Bicton, Point Walter has something to offer people of all ages.

When I arrived on the foreshore at Point Walter to take advantage of the pleasantly warm weather, I was greeted with a tantalising aroma emanating from the barbeque.
