More Pics of UWA

On Thursday after class I decided to take a walk around campus with my camera. It was a beautiful day and I think I took some great photos. Since coming here, I really enjoy taking pictures. I'm not a professional but I still have fun with it. Having a nice camera helps a lot (: I know it makes me look like a tourist but it's the only way I am going to document my experience here.

The Arts building where I have my Aboriginal History class.

The Arts building has several peacocks that hang around the quad. They basically own the building and are so funny to listen to during class.

I love the albino one.. I have never seen a white peacock
The library


I love this tree so much.
I think this is hilarious... These cockatoos are everywhere. I am used to seeing these birds as pets and it shocked me to see them in the wild. Somebody told me that the white cockatoo is on the endangered list here but I would have never guessed that since I see them everywhere, especially in Freo. 
I liked this sign because it shows a few of the differences between here and home. Authorized is spelled Authorised (along with many of the words that are spelled with a "z") and the kilometers per hour instead of miles per hour.

  3. You know......if you can't seem to find your way, and have ran out of bread crumbs, you could always follow the peacocks.
