Perth WA. May 02, 2015 Today we did a leisurely nostalgia drive around the places we frequented when we lived here in 1974. My old photos are complete rubbish, so I won't even try to do a before-and-after gallery. First of all, our place we lived in in Allen St East Fremantle Allen St, East Fremantle WA Then  the Old Mill in South Perth, built by Bill Shenton in 1835. It used to be open all the time and had a few other things such as logging jinkers there as well, but now, its just the mill itself and its out building, and of course its overshadowed by the freeway. The Old Mill. South Perth WA Then we moved onto Kings Park, which used to be a nice, cool, green restful place overlooking the city, such as it was. Today it is 10x better than that, the work they have done developing the park, the botanical gardens and of course, the magnificent War Memorial is just brilliant.
