"The southern edge of the Swan River in South Perth has magnificent views across the water to central Perth. After Kings Park it is probably the next most obvious location, and justifiably so. The whole shoreline can provide scenic viewpoints, but I've focussed on three of my favourites."

"There are hundreds of doors in Fremantle that make for amazing doorway snaps. The School of Philosophy here at Fremantle’s University of Notre Dame is probably the best, but that’s a tough call. The deep blue-green colour and the heavy, bolted detail make it an eye-catching backdrop for any snap."
