Artist/Gallery notes
Perth is blessed with a large area of natural bush and botanical gardens on the prominent bluff adjacent to the City which is Kings Park. If you have been to the Park you will remember the avenue of tall gum trees lining the entrance and the breathtaking views of our beautiful city Looking down you see the sail boats milling about on a summer’s day and in the distance the Swan River winds its way to the distant hills of the Darling Ranges. The Reflecting Pool in the title refers to the waters between Kings Park and the City which used to reflect a view of the City but have long been reclaimed to make the lakes and parks of the Narrows bridge intersection of the Freeway. Down below us is Mounts Bay which in the early days of Perth was occupied by Chinese allotments and used to grow vegetables for the colony.
