Today we went to Fremantle, as we hadn't been there in ages.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:
Fremantle is a port city in Western Australia, located 19 'km's southwest of Perth, the state capital, at the mouth of the Swan River on Australia's western coast. It was the first settlement of the Swan River Colonists in 1829. It was declared a city in 1929, and has a population of approximately 26,000.
The city is named after Charles Fremantle, the English naval officer who had pronounced possession of Western Australia and who established the camp at the site. The city contains well preserved buildings and other heritage sites. The Western Australian vernacular diminutive for Fremantle is "Freo"

The Round House
The Town Hall
Enjoying an ice cream in the sun
What a face
Of course, on every outing a swing is a must!
Once a monkey, always a monkey
A boat show for the enthusiastic
Too cold for a paddle today
A peaceful view
Off for a play
Waiting for food to appear upon the rooftop a McDonalds
Ahhh ...dinnertime!
The boat harbour
The prison at night

Ah Freo markets - that brings back some great memories. I still have a gorgeous windchime from there - it's got a really deep tone to it. It hangs outside our bedroom windows. Probably more info than you needed to know lol.
What trip wouldn't be complete without a trip to McDonalds! That used to be the highlight for my kids! Love all your photos...esp the ones with the girls in the sunset...gorgeous!
Blessings,
Robin
