We waved goodbye to the Deed family as they headed off on their travels and we drove into Perth. Had lunch at Cottlesloe Beach (didn’t see any sharks) then went to Kings Park and checked out the view over Swan River back to the city from there.
Had a last look at Fremantle today and a tour of the Fremantle prison. It was built in the 1850s by 10,000 convicts they shipped in for a labour force in the colony. It only closed in 1991 as a maximum security facility. It was well worth the visit, all three kids were asked to participate as the tour guide gave his commentary and they were very compliant! They were amazed at the tiny cells and the gallows. Also to hear 5 schools in Perth still use the cane for discipline!!
Oh liss I love that last photo - Samuels face is priceless!!! I bet the weather there is much nicer than the horrible day we have had today- lucky ducks!!!! Xxxx
