A whole lot of luck and a little bit of 'sassy'.....!

Walking up along Riverside Drive towards the city we come across the WA Rowing Club, a feature of the Perth City landscape since 1905 when it was built. It was almost lost in 1960 when the State Government river reclamation program threatened to see it demolished and again in the 1990's it fell into disrepair which few could see it recovering from. Thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to restore it, it's now the fantastic building it was in it's hey day and the only remaining rowing club left in the Perth CBD district from the many that lined the Swan River. Thankfully it's now on the State's Heritage list and is a thriving and successful club, rowing is huge in WA and I'm determined to get down there early one morning and catch them 'enthusiastically' at practice....Just to the side adjoining the Rowing Club is Sassy's on the Swan, which according to the rowers serves the best breakfast in town after training, the closest too for sure!!

and lastly a view of the back of the rowing club showing the decks where the rowers take off and come back to, with a view of hotels and apartment blocks (what fabulous views they'd have) to the east of the city....A new week starts, let's hope it's a good one.....!!
