Perth landmark hue change shocks tourists

FOREIGN tourists lining up to snap themselves in front of a Perth landmark that has become a surprise Instagram hit say they’re “shocked” to find it clad a distinctly different hue.

The Crawley Edge Boatshed, or Blue Boat House as it’s now commonly known, has been temporarily wrapped in red plastic in a tribute to Manchester United football team, which is visiting the city for two friendly matches.

Singaporean tourist Charlotte Chan said she and her family almost got off at the wrong bus stop because they didn’t recognise it when they drove past.
