More Perth

13 days in Perth. We’ve grown roots.

We could live here after all, as long as someone can put us in their back yard. Here we are with George and Ina and the days just keep getting better – like Georges friends or Ina’s kids just dropping around for a chat and to show off their Bentleys or Harleys or talk about the rest of their automotive collections and motoring experiences. We might yet go back to Albany for the first weekend in June for the “70 houses” street circuit historical meeting – 180 entrants for the Saturday hillclimb and Sunday street races. Unfortunately our expected whale watching experience in Augusta for the same weekend has been cancelled through lack of interest, so we find ourselves otherwise at a loss for those few days.

Several days have been lost in getting various repairs and servicing done – truck serviced, Suzi serviced, Winnie body serviced (poorly), generator checked and there went another $2200. Repairs and servicing continue to be the greatest costs of the journey so far.

Nevertheless we have been and seen a few  things – so far a couple of days in Perth City, a couple of days around Fremantle a couple of days just travelling around generally sight seeing and getting our bearings. This is a lovely city.

A very interesting day at the Fremantle maritime Museum…

 

and around Fremantle generally….

 

 

 

(Little Creatures Brewery for lunch, Fremantle harbour with 13 similar ships at anchor, the Roundhouse [gaol] and one street of old Fremantle)
