Easter Sunday and Bush walking around the hills of Perth.


Yes Easter Sunday and avoiding the intermittant showers forecast we managed to photograph the Gondwanan Connection. But we weren't the only ones there. Many other families and their dogs chose to exercise there by bushwalking along the many paths. I wondered had they ever stopped long enough to read the signs. Of course they had. However the water levels weren't rushing about as we had hoped. Of course, my tripod safely tucked under my arm, I failed to use it and happily photographed the beautiful surroundings. Click on the images to enlarge.

Nevertheless the Darling Scarp and Fault, visible from space, demarcate the separation 135 million years ago of Western Australia and India. They were once fused together as part of the Super Continent of Gondwana around 430 million years ago.


 During the last 2 million years ago the polar ice caps have expanded and contracted several times causing global sea levels to rise and fall.
About 200,000 years ago this Darling Scarp was a line of cliffs with the sea, beaches and bays where we stood to take the photos.
Amazing? Yes almost unbelievable!







Tame wild animals cleared the bush floor always looking for leftover food particles near the picnic tables.
