Nikon D60 / Focal length 180mm / F5.6 @ 1/500sec Stuart Desert Pea (South Australia’s floral emblem) taken in King’s Park, Perth. July 08. Found this one different as it was not the normal black and red variety. The natural habitat of the Sturt’s Desert Pea was once much wider than it is now. It did occur from Karratha on the Western Australian coast, across to the central regions, from north of Alice Springs down to the northern half of South Australia, the southwest of Queensland and western NSW. It principally grows in an arid habitat. * info from abc.net.au *

(593 Views at 21 Nov 09) Kangaroo paw is a common name for a number of species, in two genera of the family Haemodoraceae, that are endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. These perennial plants are noted for their unique bird attracting flowers. The tubular flowers are coated with dense hairs and open at the apex with six claw-like structures: from this paw formation the common name “Kangaroo Paw” is derived.

30/40 years ago this area consisted solely of a fallen tree strategically placed across the lake to enable kids to have some adventurous fun. In recent times it has had a corporate take over and is now operated by the Synergy group who have provided everything that you see in this photo – apart from the trees and lake! – plus a great restaurant (out of shot) Even though we visited mid week during September and well before the wildflower festival, the restaurant was chock full – a testament to it’s popularity. / For those who might not be familiar with the area Kings Park is a lasting legacy from the early city planners. It is beautifully situated on Mt Eliza overlooking the city of Perth and with wonderful views of the Swan River and distant Darling Ranges

This shot was taken on a scorching summer day at Kings Park in Perth in January this year. The park, which overlooks the Swan River, covers a larger area than New York’s Central Park – and is paradise for a nature lover or photographer. As I walked away from the reflecting pool with its Eternal Flame, I noticed these pink fringed gumnuts against the dark green foliage – so I just hit the trigger as I walked past..

A while ago, fire swept through part of beautiful Kings Park in Perth, destroying a huge area. On my recent visit, I was pleased to see the foliage growing back, although not as quick as I thought it would. The path leads away and down out of Kings Park.

This group is for Photos taken in Kings Park, not happy snaps please. Photos of humans are allowed but not as’happy snaps’. We would like the focus of the image to be either a part of the Park itself, or surrounding areas taken from the Park, or something very specific to the Park, such as an Anzac veteran, or an event in the Park. Please add a brief description of the photo ie. “This is the Narrows Bridge taken from beside the Cenataph in Kings Park.”
