14th-16th September – Perth

Well since we have been here for the last few days we have visited Freemantle a couple of times so we could have a another look at the Maritime Museum and of course the markets. Unfortunately the weather hasn’t been good so we made use of the free CAT bus that runs around the town which gave us a good over view of the town.

We did much the same when we visited Perth using the 3 different  CAT buses that run throughout the city, which are totally free. We used the buses and the train to get into the city from the caravan park which only cost us 3.30 for any bus or train on the day. Here the public transport is excellent and Sydney could certainly learn a thing or two about running a transport system.

In Perth we visited the Art Gallery of Western Australia which had a great exhibition of Ariel photos  of Australia by the Dutch photographer Richard Woldendorp.

We drove up to the Perth Hills,visiting Kalamunda, though once again the weather was not favourable for walking around as the rain and cold was not too enjoyable.

On a bleak Tuesday afternoon we drove to the beach suburb Cottesloe to visit family friends for a cup of tea.

We move on down to Margaret River tomorrow and just hope that it will warm up and the sun shines.
