Timeline

  1. 17:46

    Chelsea Pizza

    Stop at Chelsea Pizza for a quick slice. It is a short walk from the cinema, so you can grab your food and head straight out.

  2. 18:41

    Peace Memorial Rose Garden

    Walk to the Peace Memorial Rose Garden. It is just four minutes away from where you started. Find a bench or a quiet corner near the rose beds. The garden faces west, giving you a clear view of the river and the sky changing colour.

  3. 19:26

    Peace Memorial Rose Garden

    Watch the sun set. The light will turn golden and then fade as the sun dips toward the WSW. This is the moment the sky over the Swan River shifts from blue to orange.

  4. 20:11

    Windsor Cinema

    End the evening back at the Windsor Cinema. It is an Art Deco landmark that feels even more atmospheric in the evening light. Check the schedule for a late movie or just enjoy the architecture.

Local tip

Chelsea Pizza is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time after the sunset. The walk from the pizza place to the rose garden is short, but the garden is a peaceful spot to wait for the light to change.

Check before you go

  • Chelsea Pizza opens at 17:00. If you arrive before 17:00, they may not be ready to serve.
  • The sunset is at 19:26 on 15 January. Arrive early enough to get a good spot in the rose garden.
