Angove Street Festival
Wow, I’m posting more than I thought! I’m surprised I have time – I still have so much exploration to do, but I’m glad I’m pacing it out. This weekend was a trip to the Angove Street Festival, and I was testing out my 60mm lens again. It was odd having people stop while I was taking pictures; I’m used to taking them with people just walking through the shot. I think I only like this lens for taking pictures of animals, but it’s also certainly handy for getting past a crowd for some pretty cool people shots too.
My weakness is always taking pictures of animals, so when there was a petting zoo, photospamming ensued:
In the hills of Perth
I don’t think Kalamunda classifies as Perth. It’s pretty out there, and the drive here reminded me of the trip from Sydney to Gosford. You could say it’s regional Perth.
Petition Kitchen
Petition Kitchen is a brand new restaurant that opened in Perth, and so I had to check it out. I didn’t know who the head chef was at the time, or the background to this place, and in its first two weeks of opening (up to 11 October), reservations were essential. From my observations of the Perth population, I wasn’t sure that reservations were necessary, at least on non-Friday and Saturday nights. Turns out you can walk-in, too, during this time.
What I love about visiting a brand new restaurant is actually seeing them seeing what works and what doesn’t – watching something come to life and then grow is fascinating. So I booked two sessions, the first was a Sunday brunch (I thought I booked for lunch but they gave me a brunch menu? They didn’t seem to be serving non-brunch until after about 1pm or so), and the second was a Friday night dinner.
