Wanneroo - Lake Joondalup When I was walking along the edge of the lake today, to my eyes it looked dry but when I look at this photo there is, indeed, some water still left. The water has receded somewhat - hence all the reeds in the foreground - and is "sandy" in colour. Beware of snakes in the reeds, the signs say! Across the other side is Edgewater. March 2011 |

Wanneroo - Recreation Centre The rear of the Recreation Centre on the Scenic Drive adjacent to Lake Joondalup. Right of photo is a soccer ground and a colourful game was in progress today. No-one went to retrieve a ball that was kicked far out into the snaky reeds! March 2011 |

Wanneroo - Recreation Centre Running down the north side of the Recreation Centre is this rather attractive avenue of trees. March 2011 |

|
Wanneroo - Wanneroo Road Wanneroo Road hasn't changed much in years - or perhaps it's Wanneroo as viewed from the road that hasn't changed much? This is the intersection on Wanneroo & Dundebar Roads, looking south. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Wanneroo Central Shops The whole area up Dundebar Road has been re-developed over recent years. Not sure how long as it must be 25 years I've been up this road! This is the large shopping centre, Wanneroo Central. A little quiet today as all is closed except the IGA supermarket. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - St Anthonys St Anthony's school looks new and quite imposing on Dundebar Street. I think the old school used to front on Wanneroo Road. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Shops Across the road from St Anthony's is the little stand of shops. They would probably do a good trade with evening eaters. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Hotel And next door to the above shops, and just up from Wanneroo Central, set up on a bit of a hill, is the local tavern. This is one of the entrances. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Library Still on Dundebar Street and across the road from the Council offices is the library and cultural centre. It looks a lot like the design of some of the buildings over in Joondalup, particularly on the ECU campus. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Council Offices Wanneroo Council offices on Dundebar Street. Nice solid earth colours. I wonder why they paved the road with bricks as in Joondalup and around Subiaco station? I find it a bit confusing instinctively knowing where the road & footpath boundary is sometimes .. anyone else? Probably not. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Statue This statue stands in the centre of the road roundabout outside the Council offices. It doesn't appear to say what it represents. March 2011 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Botanic Garden & Mini Golf The Botanic Garden & Mini-Golf course is situated on Burns Beach Road, just a couple of hundred metres west of Wanneroo Road. This is a great place to spend an afternoon, either just wandering around the magnificent gardens or trying your hand at the 18-hole mini-golf course. Photo is of the main entrance. More info click here >> http://www.botanicgolf.com.au/ <<. January 2010 |

Wanneroo - Botanic Garden & Mini Golf Looking across the field next to the kiosk and picnic tables, this is the start of the golf course. That's holes 2 and three. January 2010 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Botanic Garden & Mini Golf One of the holes on the mini-golf course. It's great fun and can even be played by little kids. January 2010 |
|
|
Wanneroo - Botanic Garden & Mini Golf Probably the most challenging hole is this one. The ball has to go up that ramp, through the air for a short space, then land in a wire basket which will send the ball onto the second half of the fairway. January 2010 |
