And just like that it was the last day of 2018. We have had a good year, travelling from East to West. Thanks to our wonderful neighbors we have been able to travel and work, away since February. They are taking care of the mowing and keeping an eye on the place. We are so privileged to also be healthy enough to enjoy most of the walks and sites on our travels. So off into Perth for the fireworks over the Swan River. We parked the car about 3.30, and walked, 
and walked, 
through parks, along the river walkways and across the Matagarup bridge.
Taking in the sites of the Optus stadium and new very upmarket hotel next door. 
The walking bridge across the river from Gloucester park raceway is also having a stairway constructed for future bridge climbs. 
Looks awesome now, will be a site to see when completed.
The Crown Hotel is also on the foreshore.
I have always loved Perth by night, 
and walking around seeing all these buildings lit up was great. 
It was a warm evening and just right for the fireworks, no wind and only the chill off the water around midnight, was enough for us to put our jackets on. 
Then the fireworks!
Set off from the 2 barges out on the water, sure was spectacular
enough to make us forget our aching legs and the fact that we had been wandering around for over 8 hrs.
Well worth the effort, we both thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
So here’s to a happy, healthy 2019 from us, to all those who follow our travels. 
Thank you for taking an interest in what we do and hopefully we will meet up somewhere during 2019.
