Parks & Nature
Lake Monger is a reserver where you will find WA's black swans as well as many other water birds, including pelicans, ducks and coots. There is a cement path the whole way around the lake so it is easy to walk, jog, ride a bike or push a pram. The whole way around the lake is 3.5 km and the more fitness conscious will jog or walk this twice.
It is a great spot for a family picnic, there are several children's playgrounds and plenty of room to throw a ball around for a friendly game of your favourite sport.
The lake is within walking distance form my house with an overhead footbridge to cross the freeway.

This is actually a booklet that is put out every 3 months listing the exhibitions that are on in the established art galleries around Perth and Fremantle. If you are into art its is worth getting a hold of a copy, and see what you may be interested in seeing. It gives you a map where the galleries are located and it may be a good day's activity resting for coffees and lunch.
