I grew up in Perth, Western Australia in the suburb of South Perth. I remember the house, and the street and most details as clearly as if it were now. This photo was taken with my mother (no doubt by my father) in Kings Park, which overlooks the city. In the background is the Narrows Bridge, and the South Perth foreshore. There is a big windmill down there, and the kindergarten I used to attend near that. When my own son was born we lived further along that foreshore when he was about 5 years old, and we would ride our bikes along the pathway. On that foreshore I gathered every Australia Day January 26th to see the fireworks display - with friends, as teenagers when I was old enough to go. It was so much fun. We would also hire surf cats and sail on the river between the city and the South Perth foreshore. I lost a pair of sunglasses in that river.
