A
well kept secret. Just half an hour away from Perth there is
John Forrest National Park. The Park was named after Mr.
John Forrest, a Western Australian explorer. Around 1900
there used to be a train line connecting the Perth’s city
folk to the bush, the remainders of a tunnel are still there
and can be looked at. Now the Great Eastern Highway serves
that purpose... |
