A day out

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"

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
