Cottesloe - Albion Hotel Just around the corner from the end of Napoleon Street you come across this great looking building. It's the Albion Hotel. I think this was built way, way back (late 1800's) when the road from Perth to Fremantle was rather an arduous track this this pub served as a very welcoming half-way house. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - Albion Hotel Another angle of the Albion, showing off a bit of its northern side. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - Beach The white sands of Perth beaches seem to go on forever. This is a view of Cottesloe beach looking south. You can see some of the port superstructure over in the distance at North Fremantle. Despite being winter, there were a few people swimming today, and a few people lying down browning themselves in the winter sun. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - Shops After walking up Napoleon Street, you get to Stirling Highway. It seems that the Grove Plaza shopping centre has been substantially redeveloped. The old centre was a bit of a white elephant last time I stopped off here with many vacant shops. Perhaps then was the beginning of the redevelopment? June 28 |

Cottesloe - Napoleon Street Looking up Napoleon Street from the west (train station) end. This street is one-way now and seems very cluttered with a whole bunch of 4-wheel drives angle-parked right up to the foot path. Very trendy, with lots of fashionable coffee-houses and restaurants and expensive clothes shops (mostly women's) lining the street. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - O.B.H. Another hotel, this is down on the beach. The Ocean Beach Hotel - this looks like the residential portion of the hotel. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - Cottesloe Beach Hotel The gleaming white Cottesloe Beach Hotel right on the beach-front on the corner of John Street. January 2012 |

Cottesloe - Indiana Tearooms Right on the beach front in the Indiana (but not Jones) Tea House - quite a fine building, nice inside and very pleasant on the lawns and sand outside. June 2008 |

Cottesloe - Old Fire Station Travelling north on Stirling Highway, past the Cottesloe town centre is the old fire station on the corner of Stirling Highway and Congdon Street. This fine old brick building is hard to miss. December 2010 |

Cottesloe - Old Fire Station This is the south side of the old fire station, on Congdon Street. There is a new fire station right next door (to the left of photo). This building is occupied by "Brain Cells" now - not sure what they do - can't even find them on Google! December 2010 |

|
Cottesloe - Old Flour Mill On the corner of Curtin Avenue and Athelstan Street is the fine old Flour Mill which has been turned into an apartment complex. No alarm clocks here - they are all self-raising. Bet they get to suffer that gag all the time. December 2011 |
