Today we went on a cruise from Perth to Fremantle. This is a view of Perth as we were leaving. It wasn't much of a day - it felt about 14, but the weather man just said it was 10, so that's unusually cold for Perth. Tomorrow is supposed to be 19 with possible thunderstorms.
Fremantle is very cosmopolitan. There are cafes where you can eat any sort of food you like (Italian, Indian, Turkish, Chinese, Lebanese), the genuine article, not an Australianised version. It's a nice town and we had a walk around and found this didgeridoo shop. You can have free lessons!
This was a maritime museum, featuring submarine that you can walk through, and a whole lot of stuff people have found on ship wrecks.
We drove to Perth (getting used to this now), parked in a parking building for $15 for the whole day. Perth is a beautiful town. It's clean and pretty and easy to walk around. You feel very safe and relaxed. We did a little shopping before going to "Freo" on the ferry.
Park by the old courthouse.
The bell tower. Awesome, no? And yes, it does have a bell that goes off to mark the hour.
Sculptures in the city.
Our motel with North Beach beyond.
Perth City from Riverside Drive.
Lovely friendly city. It seemed everybody was having a sale on something. Tomorrow we're going to go south for a look at the southern coastal suburbs. We'll probably stay in Mandurah.

Hi Elliot. dont know two much bout the skeleton. found in a shallow grave on an island where the ship wreck happened just off the coast of perth. There were two of them.depending of the photo the kangaroos in Perth were made of bronze and the ones in the wild are real. We have got some really great video of kangaroos down the coast at Bunbury. About sixty of them in the wild right next to the road.
