Lesmurdie - St Brigid's College The front of St Brigid's College, Heritage Building. Looks so grand. This building commenced construction in 1913. The college itself was founded by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy and has a deep historical connection to St Brigid's school on Fitzgerald Street in West Perth. February 2011 |

|
Lesmurdie - St Brigid's College Now I'm not sure whether this is part of the college or not, but feel it must be as it appears to be in the grounds. It's an old cottage set in loads of greenery, off to the left of the main buildings. February 2011 |

Lesmurdie - St Swithun's Church Here is a view of the rear of the church. Doesn't the stonework look fabulous? February 2011 |
|
|
Lesmurdie - Catholic Parish Hall The Parish Hall of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Lesmurdie. It looks like it might have actually been the church years ago, and looks a bit 1960's-ish in design and materials. The new church is next door - a very unappealing looking pyramid structure. Church: Grade C- for design. February 2011 |

Lesmurdie - Lesmurdie Falls This is where the Lesmurdie Falls would be, if the water was flowing. Alas it's all dry today but that didn't diminish the grandeur of the hills and rocks and rather long drop to the bottom! We'll be back next August when it's wet. Can you see one of the lookouts up there? February 2011 |
|
|
Lesmurdie - Lesmurdie Falls This view is actually taken from that upper lookout you can see in the above photo. Here you can see the "lower" lookout with a view out to the coastal plain. February 2011 |
