Fremantle

Today’s our last full day here in WA. The bags are nearly packed, ready to go to the airport in the morning, and we’ve enjoyed the last of our sightseeing here.


We caught the bus into Fremantle again. That makes 2 return trips. So far the fares have been $2.40, $1.20, $1.70 and $1.20. The $1.20 fares were home in the afternoon, and I just haven’t worked out why there is such a variation. The bus service is really good, and the free service around the cities is a great idea.

Anyway, having got to Fremantle we walked around to the Maritime Museum, wanting to have a look there and at the submarine HMAS Ovens, sister ship of the Otway at Holbrook. But guess what? It’s closed on Wednesdays. There’s a cruise ship in harbour, the Dawn Princess, and it’s still closed. We must have seen about 30 people around there and all went away shaking their heads. We walked around the waterfront for an hour or so, had lunch at a seafood place, walked around the shopping centre and then caught the bus back to start packing.

Not much else to say tonight. We’ve had a great time here in WA and now we’re looking forward to being home again.
