Mundaring Weir Dam Tourist Attraction Traveling Western Australia 4K
Mundaring Weir Dam Tourist Attraction Traveling Western Australia 4K The insane project in the history building dam to supply water to Kalgorlie 650 km pipeline.
As well as being an idyllic place for a scenic drive, a picnic with friends, or bushwalking, Mundaring Weir is also an important part of Western Australia's heritage.
Located in natural bushland in the Perth Hills, Mundaring Weir is one of the world's greatest engineering projects.
Completed in 1903, the Weir was the start of the water pipeline that pumped water to the Kalgoorlie goldfields, some 700 kilometres away.
At the foot of the weir is the Number 1 Pump Station Museum where you can learn more about the brilliant engineer behind the project, C.Y. O'Connor, who endured much public criticism and tragically took his own life.
A drive trail that follows the pipeline called the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail starts at the museum.
There are several walking trails around Mundaring Weir that take you deep into virgin bush.
You'll see beautiful native plants, animals and plenty of birds. You can also walk across the massive concrete Weir wall.
Pack a picnic and enjoy the barbecue facilities, grassed areas and shady trees. While improvement works are underway, there will be limited access both above and below the Weir wall.

Perth is the capital city of Western Australia and is the most isolated capital city of over 1,000,000 people in the world.
Perth sprawls along a flat coastal plain, centred along the Swan River and bounded by the Darling Scarp to the east and the Indian Ocean coastline in the west. Perth has a population of around 1.6 million (2009), making it the fourth largest city in Australia. The many uncrowded beaches along the Perth coastline define the lifestyle: Perth is laid-back, quiet and safe.
See in Perth, Western Australia
=====================
There is plenty to see in the city centre within wandering distance or on a free CAT bus. Hidden among the sprawl of the surrounding and metropolitan area are a few worthwhile attractions usually less than an hour away by car, or a bit longer on public transport.
Outside of the metropolitan area are some unspoilt national parks, unpopulated coastline and other interesting locations.
Kangaroos
-------------------
There is a designated area in the zoo for kangaroos where they can wander on visitors' paths and the animals are used to people so you can see them very close.
To see semi-wild kangaroos visit the Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park (a cemetery, but not European style) [10] - it's a walking distance from Whitfords Transperth Train/Metro Station - just cross the highway, the highway exit and look for the entrance on the left. As there is plenty of space for them you may see them not only eating but also hopping.
Other sports Other professional sports have a presence in Perth:
Perth Glory –

Do in Perth, Western Australia
======================
Swim. Perth boasts some of the country's best beaches, which are ideal for swimming during the warmer months. Sunscreen is essential and insect repellent may come in handy during the evening. As the beaches are on the open ocean it is strongly advised that you only 'swim between the flags' at patrolled beaches. Probably the easiest beach to get to by public transport is Scarborough beach, which can be accessed by catching the Clarkson line from platform 1 at either Perth Underground or Esplanade stations, getting off at Glendalough station before catching the 400 bus. Alternatively, you can catch the 400 from the Wellington St bus station which is located down the far end of the central station - from any of its platforms, head west to the concourse, turn left and then head down the ramp. Cottesloe Beach, one of Perth's most famous, and a favourite among locals and tourists alike, it even easier to access by public transport. Take the Fremantle line to Cottesloe Station, exit the platform at the Perth end, and head west down Forrest Street for about 10 min. Or you can take bus 102 from Williams street or Esplanade station and it has a stop right by the Cottesloe beach. There is a shady grassed area as well as sand, and the beach is patrolled.
Cycle. Perth has excellent bike paths and fantastic weather almost all year round which makes it perfect for cycling. The paths that follow the Swan River are very scenic and mostly flat. You can take your own bike, hire a bicycle from one of the bike hire providers located near the Swan River or take a tour with Bluetongue Bike Tours or Pedal OZ
Parks. Perth has a number of fantastic parks, ranging from inner-city parks such as Kings Park, Bold Park, and Lake Monger, to outer city parks such as John Forrest and Whiteman Park
Catch a flick. At one of the many independent or European cinemas, including Paradiso in Northbridge and The Luna cinemas in either Leederville or Fremantle. These cinemas showcase a range of local, Bollywood, French and Italian productions as well as International film festivals and documentaries throughout the year. Also check out the open air cinemas in summer, located in Kings Park, Movies by Burswood, Luna Leederville, and Mundaring.

South West Western Australia on a budget
One of the worries about taking a holiday of a lifetime is that it is going to cost you the earth, but in south west Western Australia that needn't be the case.
This video gives some ideas to those who need to watch their wallets, for example:
Climb the Gloucester Tree
The Gloucester Tree is in the Gloucester National Park, a short drive from Pemberton which is three hours south of Perth.
It offers sensational views over the tall timber forests around Pemberton.
Once used as a fire lookout, today the 61 metre high Gloucester Tree is one of Pemberton's best loved tourism attractions -- and if you make it to the tree's lofty crown you're rewarded with a certificate to commemorate your feat, available from the Visitor Centre.
The karri is the tallest tree species in Western Australia and the third tallest in the world. It can grow up to 90 metres in height over a period of about 100 years.
The Gloucester Tree is part of a trilogy of Karri tree towers which are open to the public. The others include the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree.
The Gloucester Tree was named after the Duke of Gloucester who visited in 1946.
Bibbulmun Track
The award-winning Bibbulmun Track is Western Australia's long-distance walk trail.
The world-class, 965 kilometre track stretches from Kalamunda to Albany, passing through the rustic townships of Dwellingup, Collie, Balingup, Pemberton, Northcliffe, Walpole and Denmark.
You can join - and depart - the track at any of these towns, and many other scenic spots such as Mundaring Weir, Beedelup Falls and the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, meaning you can tackle the trail for however long you please.
Take a short day stroll, or rest or replenish overnight in a luxury hotel or bed and breakfast along the way.
But to really put your tootsies to the test - and for a true wilderness adventure - hike the entire track and join the elite group of 'end-to-enders'.
It will take you around six to eight weeks and there are 48 natural timber and iron shelters to camp at along the way.
All ages are welcome, meaning the Bibbulmun Track is ideal for family adventure holidays.
The track takes in some of the most spectacular and untamed scenery in Western Australia, coiling through enchanting natural forests of Jarrah, Marri, Karri, Wandoo and Tingle.
The best time to walk the Bibbulmun Track is Autumn or Spring. If you pack a parka, you can also trek in winter, but avoid Summer - heat and bushfires can be hazardous.
Land based Whale Watching
Prepare to be mesmerized by these gentle giants as they make their way along the coast during migration.
In late April, they travel from the food-rich southern ocean to breeding grounds in the warm northern waters.
Then, in August, they return south to the cold seas to grow and mature.
There are many whale-watching cruises available as well as plenty of land-based lookouts.
In Western Australia you're most likely to spot a humpback, southern right or blue whale. The best time to observe these serene mammals is at midday, when the sun is directly overhead.
Albany is a haven for humpback and southern right whales, which mate and calve off the south coast.
From July to October whales can be spotted frolicking and playing in King George Sound, Albany.
This area is famous for its whaling heritage and is not uncommon to see whales playing only a few hundred metres from the station where they once were processed in vast numbers.
The old whaling station has now been transformed into a fascinating interactive whale museum.

Bold Park (Perth, WA)
Bold Park is a 437-hectare (1,080-acre) urban bushland area in the suburb of City Beach, in Perth, Western Australia. It is located 8 km (5 mi) directly west of the Perth central business district, its western border less than one kilometre from the Indian Ocean. To the east, Perry Lakes reserve is directly adjacent to the park. The hilly topography allows views of both the city and ocean.
Bold Park is situated near the Indian Ocean, west of the Perth central business district.
The Perth City Council established Bold Park in 1936. It was named after William E. Bold, who served as town clerk from 1900 to 1944 (the longest serving town clerk in the council's history).
Bold Park is located on a calcareous coastal plain. Limestone formations in the park were quarried to provide stone for the growing population of Perth.
Bold Park was recognised as an A-class reserve on 10 August 1998. Since 2000, the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) has managed Bold Park (along with the 406-hectare Kings Park). Frequent fires, recreational activities and weed invasion have plagued Perth's urban bushland areas. The Bold Park Environmental Management Plan (2000–2005) committed the BGPA to restoring the park.
