ELIZABETH QUAY & CITY OF SOUTH PERTH @ AUSTRALIA
Today marked the last day of our visit in Perth before
catching our night flight later that evening. As such, we tried to check out

hours.
Luckily there was a nearby subway within
walking distance from the place we were staying at Leederville.

spaces were copious! Perfect for as a spot to relax your mind as you unwind the
day.
This tranquil neighbourhood somehow reminds me of the serene Auberge Discovery Bay during my previous visit to Hong Kong too. How blissful!

We basically went on a face-paced
walk towards the direction of The Mill in the interest of time. The surrounding
was really serene with lots of trees shades as well as blooming flowers. Every
condominium was very well organized with contemporary urban design, equipped
with a number of walking paths and trails too.
Old Mill
Location: Melville
Pl, South Perth WA 6151, Australia
Historic place with aesthetic
appeal
The Old Mill
in South Perth is one of Perth’s best known landmarks. Built in 1835 and
operating until 1859, the mill produced 680kg of flour per day at its peak.
Since ceasing production, the mill has been used as a hotel, a residence, a
wine saloon and a poultry farm.
In 1992, the Old Mill was granted
to the City of South Perth to commemorate the centenary of the founding of
Local Government in South Perth (1892). The stone buildings and site were
repaired and upgraded and were then vested in the National Trust.
After awhile, we took the ferry
back to Elizabeth Quay to spend the rest of the day before returning to
hometown.
