Perth, may be the most remote large city on earth, but its also a great place to visit. Alongside the broad Swan River and with the Indian Ocean on its western flank, it has a fabulous outdoor lifestyle with parks, rivers and beaches, a network of walking and biking trails, excellent food, and the beautiful historic port of Fremantle. 19 kms west of Perth lies the delightful wildlife reserve of laid back and casual Rottnest Island. Its surrounded by sheltering reefs, which ensure safe swimming and snorkeling in glorious, protected bays. Its jewel-bright waters, warmed by a south-flowing current, harbor coral outcrops and 400 kinds of fish. Local photographer Simon Nevill, presents a photographic souvenir of Perth, Fremantle and Rottnest, covering the history, buildings, people, cultural activities, beaches, river and bush surrounds that make this area unique. A perfect keepsake for resident and tourist alike.
