Day 5: Floral dance

Emma isn't feeling as though she is on holiday. She needs a beach. Or failing that, a forest to walk through (!).

Thank heavens for Perth's Kings Park botanic gardens. Plenty of trees there to keep even the most keen enthusiast happy. And trees of all shapes, colours and sizes - some with rather remarkable caterpillars attached, or at the very least rather remarkable flowers.

And talking of flowers, if the trees weren't going to keep you happy, then the flowers most definately would. October is one of the best months in WA for wildflowers, and they are certainly in full swing. Like the trees, and indeed much of Australia's wildlife, they are rather unusual if not unique.

Lots of photographs later, and after a lovely tea in the cafe, dusk fell and it was time to do the city lights again with the 'big' cameras, messing about with light trails from the cars on the highway.

Lastly, a bit more messing around with torches and 'painting with light'. Now, it's time for bed as we have an early start in the morning - we're off to swim with wild dolphins at Rockingham. Talk about excited...................

Will add a photo when I can (we took plenty....) - this pesky pc won't let me!
