The Swan River Colony was founded in 1829. The mill in South Perth was established in 1835, and functioned until 1859, milling prodigious quantities of grain throughout its lifetime. Without the mill, the struggling infant colony would not have survived. Perth, now a thriving city of 2 million, can take pride in this link to the pioneering settlement of Western Australia. After two years' of restoration, the Old Mill has reopened. The oldest surviving connection to Perth's early days is a source of pride to the people of South Perth. The restored mill and the miller's cottage are are on the tip of the South Perth peninsula. They can be accessed by car; the bus stops outside the door.

Sir James Mitchell, better known as Jimmy Mitchell, was Premier of Western Australia. He was well-liked by the people of WA, and he has lent his name to this popular riverside park. There's a cafe if you want to get something to eat or drink. The Park is a popular place to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks. It's a good place to wander around, it would be very hard to get lost.You can see the city of Perth, known locally as "Little Manhattan," reflected in the water.

As many grandparents will be aware - it's the school holidays when we all try to think up treats for our grandchildren. We took ours to the zoo yesterday and it proved to be a day we all enjoyed. The zoo was full of children having fun exploring the various areas with the African Savannah, the Asian Rainforest, the Nocturnal House and the penguins particular favourites. The playground was also very popular and after they had a ride on the heritage carousel we all left happy. The facilities at the zoo are constantly being upgraded and it's both an educational and fun place for a day out for the whole family.
