Mettam's Pool (Trigg Beach)

Mettam's Pool is located in the North of Perth, in North Beach. It is an awesome beach to check out. It stretches along a vast area. I was told that if you come in the evening, there is chance of spotting an array of fishes close to the shore. This includes sting rays. I have only seen them from afar at Hamelin Bay, and close at the aquarium. 

We went there in the afternoon and stayed till sunset. It is one of the rare times you get to enjoy the waves crashing against the shore, watch the peaceful scenery and leisurely walk on the sand bare-feet. 

Assisting at the sun setting down was amazing. It reminded me of The Little Prince's reference to sunset. Sunsets are truly beautiful. There is so much serenity in witnessing the sun fading away and away across the sea and while it happens everyday, it is sad that we only pay attention and look closely once in a while. However when the opportunity comes, seize it and appreciate the beauty of small things. 

Centenary Park

Centenary Park is located in Belmont and is a nice park to have a short walk. The footpath runs along a lake and the park offers several facilities including BBQ facilities, exercise equipment and a playground. 

It also has several features including duck sculptures along the path and random facts marked at different intervals.

We also came across several wildlife including two Rainbow Lorikeets perching on some flowering Eucalyptus trees. Needless to add, there were also many ducks.

Woodman Point Ammo Jetty

Woodman Point regional park is located in the City of Cockburn and runs along the coastline. It accommodates a recreational park with playground and Bbq areas, a jetty for fishing and footpaths for bushwalking. There are several parking spots, but we chose the one next to the park, which gives quick access to the jetty.

It is a perfect place for a picnic or an afternoon walk, or both. Fishing amateurs would definitely find this place to their liking. The jetty was crowded with people fishing till late night. I enjoyed watching the glowing baits in the dark. At night, light along Garden Island flashes and shimmers in the dark. It was very pleasant to watch. 

We started our walk from the ammo jetty to the headland. Along the path, we came across stunning views along the beach and the reserve. The path is well-built,  which makes walking easy. The path took us to the other side, offering an equally amazing sight. There were also several para-gliders on that day. 

It was certainly a great place to discover. I was surprised to see so many people going fishing. The pelicans were also having a lot of fun flying around.
