All photos taken Friday 8 September, 2017, in the bushland of Kings Park…an easy walk (or free bus into the manicured part of Kings Park, then a short walk into its bushland) from Perth’s CBD.

Perth’s King’s Park – a short walk or free bus trip from the CBD – is bigger than New York’s Central Park.
It is also vastly richer in local flora.
Nearer to the Indian Ocean and just 8 kilometres from Perth’s GPO, the even bigger Bold Park has more than 300 local plant species…and (alas!) more than 200 introduced ones.
All photos taken today, Monday September 4, 2017 in Bold Park. Your further zooming/enlarging may prove rewarding.

15,000 kilometres from LA there is a different Hollywood. Most West Australians know of its hospital/s and/or its schools. Only a few know its petite bushland.

This stilt (a banded stilt, I think) is one of many now active at Lake Claremont.
Many of Perth’s “natural” places are in a sad state, degrading.
Lake Claremont is a happy exception.

No great effort is required for an inner urban Perth resident to experience literally hundreds of pelican sightings in a single year.

There are more life forms in a handful of forest soil than there are people on the planet. A mere teaspoonful contains many miles of fungal filaments. All these work the soil, transform it, and make it so valuable for the trees.
