Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

The Pioneer Women's Memorial is quite beautiful, it is a statue of a woman in the middle of a lake, with fountains. The memorial is in a hollow, surrounded by a well-kept lawn. The West would never have been tamed without the sacrifices of these heroic women.

Queen Elizabeth II is the only reigning British monarch ever to visit Australia. It is estimated that almost everyone in Australia has had a chance to see her during her various tours, which have taken her to every State and mainland Territory.. The Queen's Tree was planted by Her Majesty in King's Park on 27 March 1954. I was then less than one year old. Once a sapling, after 67 years it is a mighty monument to Australia's affection for Royalty.

I wish that abstract sculptures could be accompanied by an inscribed plaque that gave pertinent details of the object. I eventually located the information on the website of the Department of Fire & Emergency Services (DFES). The original memorial dates to July 2000 and consists of a "granite arc representing the base of a burnt out tree and a ten tonne rock symbolising a flame, which reflects the impact and role of fire". The bronze sculptures of two firefighters were added later, an evocative scene that demonstrates the comradeship of the firefighters and also the pain of a lost colleague. A low wall has a commemorative inscription. The entire memorial is a dedication to those that have lost their lives serving the community.

This monument has 4 sides with an Iconic column. It is surmounted with a globe of copper, holding the shield of King David. Even the soldiers of Jewish faith went to war, working with the Australians. More than 2300 Jewish soldiers came to the call to fight during the WWI in Europe. More than 300 Jewish soldiers died in Europe. 100 Jewish soldiers received military honors. They were dedicated. This is why they have a monument. The monument is really well done. They deserved that memorial. I was impressed. Worthwhile to see!
