A Tourist at Home

EH

When was the last time you were a tourist in your own town?

On Sunday afternoon my family headed into Kings Park to enjoy some live music from Adam Hall.

After the concert we took the opportunity to wander around taking photos of the wildflowers and then a few shots across the city.

Yesterday I went cycling with a group of friends and we ended up riding along the coast through Warnbro and back up to Rockingham. It’s so beautiful through there but it’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed the sights of the area. It’s so close and I really should take the time to visit more often.

How about you? Are there places that you only visit if you have interstate or overseas visitors with you or do you do some touristy things from time to time? Is it about time you played tourist in your own city?

If I were to visit your corner of the world, what would you take me to see?
