The perfect day in Cottesloe, Perth. Photographer

The perfect day in Cottesloe, Perth. Photographer Kathryn Sprigg took her camera out to document “the most magical place” for @lonelycontinent.

“Cott is lovingly known for its Norfolk pine tree-lined streets - my favourite part of the day is walking past these giants to get coffee and then straight to the beach,” she says. “The building in many of the photos is the Indiana Teahouse, an iconic Perth structure that I’m so attached to, especially as our council debates it future. I only live about 50 metres from the beach so I try to get back there every night to capture the sunset. I may be biased, but I think we have the best beaches and best sunsets in the country.”
