De Wikipidia: Les Swan Bells sont 18 cloches qui sont placees dans une tour de 80 metres de haut, construite specialement pour elles! 12 de ces cloches ont ete donnees par le Royaume Uni pour celebrer le bicentenaire de l'Australie. La tour a ete ouverte en 2001.
Wikipedia says: The Swan Bells are a set of eighteen bells hanging in a specially built 82.5 metres high copper and glass campanile. Taking their name from the Swan River, which their tower overlooks, they are one of the largest sets of change ringing bells in the world. Twelve of the set are historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square in London; six others, cast in recent times by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, round off the set. The St Martin-in-the-Fields bells were donated to the State of Western Australia as part of the 1988 Australian bicentenary celebrations; the additional bells were cast with a subsequent donation of metals mined in Western Australia. The tower was opened in 2001.Vues depuis le haut de la tour:

Cottesloe Beach:
Petit tour a la plage avant de partir!
Last beach moment before my flight to Melbourne!
Le retour...
Coming back...

Bon, j'ai tellement voulu profiter de la plage que j'ai failli rater mon avion!!!
Vol normal... Presque agreable puisque mon voisin bosse dans une boite d'import de chocolats et cafes Europeens... Du coup il m'a file une boite de chocolats :)))))
Et la bonne nouvelle en arrivant: un texto de Dinesh qui m'informe que la semaine prochaine je bosse sur le projet pour le Vietnam! Un peu de changement :)
Well, I liked Cottesloe beach soo much that I almost missed my plane... Again....
The flight was alright... Specially since my neighbour was working for a company importing European made coffee and chocolates... And he gave me a box a samples :)
And, the best news when I landed: a text from Dinesh letting me know that I would be working on the project for Vietnam next week! A bit of change :)
