Northbridge and Ascot Water Playground

Friday was our one year anniversary of being in Perth (well, actually 10 years in WA for me).
At 8pm we left for Northbridge, where we met up with some friends.

We started of at the Brass Monkey, and ended at the Elephant & Wheelbarrow.

This afternoon we had a party in High Wycombe.
On the way we stopped at Ascot Water Playground (because I spotted it on the map, and it is very close to Gt Eastern Hwy).

I had already read the sad news last year, that it was permanently closed, but now we saw it. First of all, it was much smaller than I remember. And right next to the Swan River. It was completely abandoned, with very high grass.
