While Seb's parents are traveling, we have the good fortune to dog- and house-sit for them at their luxe condo in the cute enclave of South Perth, a neighborhood on the south side of the Swan River, directly across from downtown Perth. The pad, with its city and river views, couldn't be in a better location. Long walks in almost any direction take me past cute bungalows and modern townhouses or along the river with its many waterfront parks and water-loving bird species. Yesterday, between patches of rain, I managed to get out long enough to cross the bridge towards King's Park and enjoy views of the "Narrows" section of the river.
