Pictures!

I haven't had a chance to upload any pictures until now, so I thought I would take a moment to share with you all the highlights of what I have seen thus far.

This is the path leading into the Murdoch University Student Village, where I live along with the international students as well as many Aussies from other states.

This is the Round House, the oldest building in WA. Fun fact - it was also the first prison. I visited here the first day we were in Freo. It's not much, but it is amazing that its still around after 182 years.

This is the beach behind the Round House. The group went there and took pictures by/in the water. It felt so nice. It's hard to believe that this is the dead of winter for WA after looking at a view like this.

Lastly, I'd like to share a video of an Australian magpie with you. If you listen closely, you can hear its call. These birds are actually dangerous in the spring, when they are making their nests, because they swoop down on pedestrians and try to rip their hair out. I've been told that the only way to combat this is to wear a hat with googly eyes to distract them. I'll let you know if I make one.
