Fremantle and Friends

Took the coast road down to Fremantle, beautiful drive, lovely and sunny, shame we have missed it all driving. We are booked in at Coogee Beach Caravan Park and greet the Deed family when we arrive! They have just started their trip and we have managed to cross paths which is great. The kids have a ball hanging out together and we love seeing their familiar faces.

We head into Freo to check out the market and spend a happy few hours soaking up the bustling atmosphere. The WA Maritime Museum was next. It was a special visit, as Mark’s Oma and Opa have their names listed on a “Welcome Wall” there. It is a series of commemorative panels outside on the wharf listing many immigrants names, date they arrived (1958) and which ship they came on (The Castel Felice). Great to see an important part of his family history.

We met the Deed family for dinner and had a yummy fish and chip meal down on the harbour. The kids were v impressed by the massive fish tanks in the restaurant.
