Stepping down into the past..

Walking along the Swan River in East Perth a few days ago I noticed along the way the remains of an old jetty or two and a series of old stone steps, some now unusable, leading down to the banks of the river. Of course my romantic imagination went into overdrive and I pictured ladies and gentlemen in their 1920's bathers stepping down to cool off in the river. There may be alternative reasons why the steps and stone retaining walls are there.. stopping erosion for one, also the old East Perth Power Station is a stones throw away, built there specifically because of the proximity to the river. Even so, they would make the perfect spot to enter the river for a swim and are tres photogenic.. as you can see above, I wasn't the only one who thought so :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
