About the Book

In this lavishly produced book the images of award winning photographer Francis Andrijich, the essay from Robert Drewe, author of the best-selling memoir Shark Net and the impressionistic writing of Jeff Bell combine to create a stunning homage to the uniqueness of the city of Perth. From the broad golden beaches and the brilliant sunsets over the sea to the colourful yachts and silver waters of the Swan River; from the wonderful panoramas of Kings Park to the majestic jarrah forests and wildflowers of the Darling Scarp; from the vibrant cafi strips of Fremantle and Northbidge to the passionate football crowds at Subiaco; from the beautiful performances of the Western Australia Ballet to the magical theatre of Barking Gecko Frances images capture the essence that makes Perth such a wonderful city to visit and to live in. Beautifully presented, Perth will make an ideal gift for visitors and residents alike.
