Perth

by Stargazer1 - last update: Apr 17, 2006

Australian desert from 42,000 ft.

Went to Perth for three weeks on business

Glad overseas trips on business are on business class. That 15 1/2 hour flight from LAX to Sydney is a killer! Then it's still 5 1/2 hours to Perth. The first picture is from about 42,000 feet, and it shows old riverbeds that have silted over, possibly leaving evaporites behind.
Folded sedimentary layers seen from the airplane

Desert geology

As a geoscientist, I find airplane geology to be fascinating. These intricately folded sedimentary layers would make a great geologic map.

Perth skyline

Here's the Perth skyline at night, taken from a seafood restaurant on the other side of the river from downtown.

 Lovely photos of Perth-and the Freemantle Prison sounds interesting. I agree about the very long flight from USA to Australia.Its a killer.
