West Perth - Scitech This is a view of Scitech from Sutherland Street. Scitech opened in 1988 - the Horizon Planetarium was a later addition opening in 2004. I am pretty sure Horizon is in the part of the building with "City West" on it. This is a view you can see driving along the Mitchell Freeway. January 2011 |

These days the building is still occupied by various Government Departments and the upper floors are used as Ministerial offices. January 2011 |

West Perth - Hay Street On Hat Street is this rather striking looking building, known simply as "Central Flats". You don't get flats any more, only apartments. Brickwork such as this always seems to photograph well. January 2011 |

West Perth - Gangemi's Eatery Gangemi's Fine Wines and Food located on Hay Street on the corner of Outram Street. Looks like a fine venue. The building looks like it might have been originally built as an hotel - it's got that certain "pub and turn-of-the (20th)-century" style. January 2011 |
