A set of the city's free exercise equipment, set up along a biking/jogging path in the park next to the river. It's a very popular idea which apparently is spreading quickly around the world, but I think started in Europe.

The Swan River looking east towards the Perth Hills in the distance. The Swan Bells, with their brown copper base and glass spire are on the left. The bells are self-described as “the world's largest musical instrument,” and include a set of historic bells from St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, which are said to have rung in 1787 when Captain Cook set out on the voyage in which he found Australia.

Further parkland along the Swan River, leading up to The Narrows, where the Swan really opens up into a wide lake. Kings Park is through the trees on the right. Most days in Perth are pretty much like this: sunny, blue sky, 20 degrees, wonderful. Although there can be periods of heavy rain in the winter, the city is one of the sunniest in Australia, getting around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year.
