London Court with its "Olde English" style is in the
centre of the city. 
At
the Esplanade on the Swan River is the Bell Tower
and
the black swans can be seen everywhere.
We
walked along the Swan River lagoon around King's Park 
and
stopped at the restaurant at the Old Swan Brewery on the river shore .
Swan
Valley Wine Cruise
It was another sunny morning as we sailed gently upstream.
No
sooner had we set off than the wine tasting began.
We
passed the WACA and the house where Rolf Harris lived as a child.
We
took a stroll on deck
Then
lunch was served accompanied by another bottle from the region. During
the afternoon we visited two wineries.
First
stop was Houghton Wines, the biggest producer in the area.
Then
we visited a newer winery, River Bank Estate, 
where
we thoroughly enjoyed the presentation on how to appreciate and judge wines, and
of course the tasting itself was fun too.
Then
it was time to return to the boat and enjoy the early evening cruise back to
Perth.
After
Perth we moved several kilometres south to Cottesloe Beach and
Fremantle.
