AboutForeign 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.

Picture: AAP/Rebecca Le MaySource:AAP 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. “We saw on Instagram that it was a blue house and it is a tourist attraction, so we came here to look at it, but we were very surprised to see it was red,” Ms Chan told AAP. “We had to ask the bus driver if this was the house.” Another group of Singaporean tourists were disappointed they wouldn’t be in Perth to see the boatshed return to its usual colour. Ms Chan saw the bright side, saying she’d seen a “special” moment in the building’s history. Built in the 1930s, it is owned by Tom Nattrass, whose father and former Perth Lord Mayor Peter Nattrass suggested some 18 years ago that its dilapidated asbestos structure be replaced.
