Managed to stay in bed until 5.30, then breakfast before packing the car and heading for town via the freeway. Managed to get to the ferry terminal with only 1 slight hiccup, got stuck in an exit lane before we wanted to but found our way through the streets of the city centre. Thank goodness for sat nav & google earth.
It seems that the Balmy Army are in town for the cricket, they have established their headquarters in a pub at Barracks Square with the unusual name of The Lucky Shag.
Had time for a short walk in the cbd and took some happy snaps of the Bell Tower before boarding for the cruise to Fremantle.
A most enjoyable trip followed, seeing lots of big boats and mansions, including what is apparently the most expensive mansion in Aust at a cool $57 million. Then it was on board the tram for a quick tour of Fremantle.
After the Fremantle tour it was back on the ship for the trip back to Perth including a most enjoyable lunch.
Off the boat and into a double decker bus to check out the sights of Perth.
Finally back on to the freeway to get us back to base around 5:00 to finish off another long but enjoyable day.
Well, that's it for today, tomorrow Chrissi, James & SandO arrive from Wagin and a trip to Perth Zoo is planned, so check back for the next chapter.
