30 May - Day 108

The Swan River is the centerpiece of Perth. My friend "A" and I walk around the river most Saturday mornings and when Dad was visiting, he, "M" and I walked around the river every day that we were in Perth. A common sight from the river bank are black swans. The Swan River was named after these birds and the black swan is also included on the West Australian state flag. They are distinguished by their long necks which form an S shape. Black swans are primarily located in southeast and southwest Australia.
