There are four cannons high on the hill at Kings Park aimed out towards the Swan River just in case of a possible invasion, always best to be prepared oui! Two of them dated 1843 may have been used in the Crimea War and the other two dated 1813/14 by Wellington's army at Waterloo. I wonder what Queen Victoria would have thought of this magnificent vista she surveys here, likewise her son Prince Alfred if he had taken the time on his Australian trip in 1867 to visit WA, I suppose to be fair it would have been a very long way to come in those days, heck most people still think it's a long way to come! If I can convince at least one or two people out there that the journey is well worth it then my job is done haha! Take care on your journey today, stay safe.....
