Perth City Downtown Hay Street Mall Murray Street Mall/ Family Travelogue November 2016

We had a short visit to Perth in November 2016, from 18 to 22.  It was  our firm trip and school holiday  had just started in Singapore, I was able to take our youngest.  My husband and the eldest had no more annual leaves to file. A week after this Perth trip, we had a 3 week vacation in US.

The following are the other posts that I would be sharing later:

Changi Airport Terminal 3

Singapore Airlines Boarding Area

SQ flight 18 Nov 2016, departed Singapore at 12:10am and arrived Perth International Terminal 1 at 05:20.  We got to take video of our touch down at Perth.

We purchased local sim, Optus, at Perth Airport.  AU$10 2gb data.  Our company had arranged for our transfer to Pan Pacific Perth hotel.

It was too early, our room was not yet available.  We left our luggage at the concierge and started to explore Perth.  We walked from our hotel to Perth downtown.

Percy Button sculpture at Hay Street Mall

Percy Button was a street entertainer doing acrobatics between 1920 to 1950 in this area.  He entertained for a few shilling people who were waiting to see movies.  He was often seen dirty.  One day, a local paper company, The Mirror, cleaned him up and posted his photo on the paper.  The Mirror offered a price for whoever could guess the identity of the neatly dressed up man.

Hay Street Mall

Hay Street Mall

One of the 40 life-sized fiber glass cows that were paraded within the CBD area from 31 Oct to 11 Dec 2016.  The Cow Parade was organized by The City of Perth and Perth Public Art Foundation. The parade was considered  the World's biggest Public Art Event.

We wanted to have pancakes for our breakfast, the store was still closed.

We had our breakfast at The Coffee Club instead.  French toasts and hot cocoa.

Murray Street Mall

We thought we could purchase some winter clothes at Target for our US trip a week after, approaching summer though in Australia.  We were planning to cycle to Kings Park and around the park, however, we could not find the bicycle rental store.  We had asked the locals, they said there was no rental shop nearby.  It was at the google map though.  It was getting warmer, we decided to go to Fremantle instead.
