MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

lovely pics... makes me want to bite the bullet and take a trip over there... been meaning to for ages.

well done.

I'd advise that you wait till about 2010 ish before visiting. The city itself will have a fresh new look by then and actually feel like a place worth visiting.

lol..What he means is there are so many new developments in their early stages at the moment:) ...You would need to return in 2010 ;)

Awesome pics btw, this is my favourite.

love them.

Work Dilaz some of your best in terms of angles. I dont mind the clouds gives the white paint a better tint to it.

Merry Christmas all.

this is the best Perth photo thread i have ever seen
the King st precinct is my favourite place in CBD

That Cino to go cafe at King St-- aah i used to go there every day for lunch break....

thanks for the photos... great work

Ive never visited Perth but judging from those pics it seems quite empty and dull apart from the mall. These photos really put the whole place into perspective if u were wondering what the city center is like in terms of street scapes etc. Although i still wouldnt mind visiting to suss it out for myself.

Yeah simply Amazing Photos.

Belgian Beer seems extremly tempting right now. Oh and that Penthouse your on about, thats Malcolm Days one isnt it?? Thats the one that beat Brian Gardners Raffles one right??

Cheers.
Hope everyone had an awesome Chrissy.

Actually I find the malls the boring and dull part. And it's the CBD areas surrounding the malls that are interesting.

Btw nice work Dilaz

Second that Dilaz, nice work. Always loving looking at the photos of Perth.

I agree........to an extent,the areas neigbouring the malls to the East and West are more interesting to explore.

Lovely pictures, i'm always fascinated by seeing your christmas decoration in summer while here in Milan, italy, we have a temperature below 0.
A little i envy you. :lol:

Great Work Dilaz. Minor changes.
