Perth - Mandurah

Looked up Big Thing on Wikipedia - the on-line encyclodepia that never lies? Check.
Missus and dog loaded into car? Check.
GPS on the new phone (oh, yes) set to stun? Check.

Off to Harvey, then. A town about 140Km south of Perth with a Big Orange...

Except the bloody thing was taken down a couple of years ago for repairs and hasn't been put back yet - thanks Wikipedia, you great steaming pile of worthless crap.

Not to write off the whole day, we came back via Mandurah - and a very nice place it is, too.

In keeping with WA's it-looks-like-what-it-is approach to street-art, here's a metal pelican.

The river has all sorts of bouncy / get wet stuff for the kids.

Looks like there are some very expensive apartments going up here.

A bit of rock and/or roll. You could smell the ganja blowing off these guys.

A proper pelican.

And, finally, a parrot in a tree - noisy bugger.
