A late night out in summer in Perth is just so much fun. Northbridge’s new piazza is a well- lit, open space. Barrack Street precinct is alive and bright. The Ferris wheel is a new and different way to enjoy a view of the city and river.
This is so very different form the newspaper images of our city that I just had to comment. These shots were all taken at around eleven pm. We even had a chat with some passing coppers, just to find out if we were seeing something unusual. Their response was about not believing what you read. Not only did we feel safe and happy, but but it was obvious that so too did the people on the street.
There were families having a picnic in the piazza, young people dressed for a night on the town, older people having dinner and a good buzz everywhere. Love the public art and the huge TV screen too.
The Ferris wheel by the river is open to eleven pm. and is well worth a ride. The area is bright and safe, everyone is friendly.
Barrack Street Jetty area is full of life too. The restaurants are buzzing, the belltower is a visual attraction and river views beautiful under moonlight.
Over the next week I’ll post some more images of the South Perth side of the river. The end of summer in Perth is filled with all the joys of the International Arts Festival and South Perth Fiesta. There are wonderful speakers, theatre, music and much else.
Tomorrow morning begins with the Esther Foundation fun run; what a great way to begin a public holiday. See you out there!

Yes, seems like Northbridge has been cleaned up since the bad old days, the curfew and increased police presence properly had something to do with that. Pity the papers don't investigate some of the stories or at least follow up before they publish.
