Another Perfect day in Perth yesterday - but we went to Mandurah and had a Marvelous day.
As a kid in the 1960's my family used to spend the summer holidays/weekends at a caravan park in Mandurah. On a Saturday evening the adults would go to the beer garden at the Esplanade Hotel while all the kids would run mad. This old Moreton Bay Fig is about all that is left from my childhood memories. We used to do bombies off the the jetty - this is just a modern imitation of the much more attractive one that used to be there.

The old caravan park has now been turned into this. Like all these type of developments there only ever seem to be about 40% of the units sold.

And on a more sombre but appropriate note for today, the beautifully maintained final resting place of my 19yr old great-uncle. The "London Cemetery and Extension, Longueval" on the Somme. He was Missing in Action for about 20 years before his remains were found.
