The new i-City Information Booth is up and running and it's so good to see Forrest Place looking ship shape once more. Above, early on Monday morning looking down towards the train station I couldn't help thinking that the new organic shape of the info booth was the perfect foil for the sculpture now fondly (?) known as the Green Cactus or 'the organism' (you might have to enlarge the shot to see it back there).
Above looking up Murray St. The new booth is so much more user-friendly than it's predecessor with seating and an undercover area, much appreciated on a 40C summer day.. and look, it has the seal of approval from the city gulls, I can see that pristine white top is going to need an occasional clean-up :) Have a fab Friday, take care and stay safe.. p.s. only five more sleeps till I head over to Sydney, woohoo!
Please show us ONE scene from Perth that looks a bit seedy - IF you can find such! Your city is giving my city a complex, LOL

What a great information booth -- best one I've ever seen, that's for sure!! You guys in Perth do know how to do it!! Terrific, colorful captures for the day, as always!! The city gulls to indeed look pleased!! Hope you have a great weekend -- camera in hand, of course!!
ReplyDeleteThe Sydney trip sounds fun. An info booth like this one would work in Sweden as well. Although only for a few months of the year as it doesn't look Winter-proof!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cloudia! Perth is beautiful, not a seedy place in sight.
ReplyDeleteSt. Louis is full of seedy spots.
Gulls can alway use another perch.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe I was in Aus just a year ago. Seems like much longer. I am very jealous of your trip to Sydney. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Web page -- interesting! Our visitors center is moving downtown soon. Won't look like this (it will be a storefront), but could make for a photo opportunity one of these days.
ReplyDeletewel een hele mooie oplossing zo.
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice contrast with the older building too, Grace! That could be a nice summer info booth here.
ReplyDeletei love the shape and like redpat said, the contrast is really cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the booth but, I really, really love those two photos of the street scene. Perth really is a beautiful city, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh lol, they are going to have a recurring cleaning problem! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful from above, like an alcove. Does it look as good from the ground?
What a nice and modern looking info center. It fits right in!!
ReplyDeleteYou must be getting excited to see your granddaughter Grace! After I enlarged the pics, I noticed the gull on the far right appears to be standing on one foot. I love it when birds do that!
ReplyDeleteAside from the proper tourist information centre in Melbourne there is also a booth in a busy place, but some lessons could be really learnt from yours.
ReplyDeleteThe gulls must think that's quite a good perch.
ReplyDeletevisiting after a long hiatus. The sea gulls have the best view on top of the information centre.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to take some time for me to get used to it. My first reaction was that it looked like a broken egg. Maybe that is what the gulls thought.
ReplyDeleteI must try & get into Perth soon & see all the new stuff!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the pigeons approve.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall ever seeing a purpose built information centre in any town in the UK. Usually they are in some historic building which has no other purpose these days. I rather like this one.
ReplyDeleteBoth of the new additions look very cool. I especially like the shadow cast by the green cactus.
ReplyDeleteI like the shape/design and the fact that it is easy to get to.
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 more days. I am happy for you and your trip to Sydney!:)
It is a very nice building, I like the shape of it.
ReplyDeleteAh, good to know where it is now - will we need a new map, are there so many changes? Cool design and yes, fits to the cactus, Grace. Can´t wait to be back!
ReplyDeleteHa, the first place I'll go when I visit Perth :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace!
Cool in the shade, huh?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an alien landed in the city! Arianna
ReplyDeleteThe new information booth looks very cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is magnificent! One of the best attractions i ve ever seen!
