Barracks Arch, Perth

Last week I visited Perth on the West coast of Australia for the first time. There wasn't much time to see things but I did walk around the central part of the city a bit. This tower used to be an entrance to a barracks that housed guards for the convicts who built some of the original civil buildings in the city. It was still housing guards into the earliest part of the 20th century long after the shipment of convicts had stopped.

Perth is nice but I think I like Brisbane better. Once a Queenslander, always a Queenslander.
