POSTCARD FROM PERTH

I am visiting Perth for work for a few days and while I was looking forward to some nice warmish weather and fine conditions on arrival here, it was very wet, stormy and wintry! Nevertheless, there are plenty of postcard-perfect photos on my hard drive until tomorrow when hopefully the weather will improve!

Built in 1937 as a combination of residential and commercial premises for a wealthy gold miner and financier Claude de Bernales, Perth's London Court is designed using the architectural features prevalent in Elizabethan times.  London Court attracts local and international visitors with its friendly, inviting atmosphere and unique architectural style making it superbly different to the skyscrapers it is nestled under in the City of Perth.  Although far away from Britain the Court has captured a setting and atmosphere so similar to that of Tudor England. London Court is a retail walkway running between Hay Street Mall and St Georges Terrace in the heart of Perth.
