A visit to a Lccal Government Office
Today is pretty uneventful other than the fact that we've had a car for one day and already I have a parking ticket. That's pretty good going... We take a quick trip to the Local Driving Registration Office and get the car changed over into my name ...
Perth: doesn't know how to party
... a bag full of basics: pasta, olive oil, balsalmic vinegar. Paul added rice to that store cupboard. Am I seriously backpacking round Australia with a bottle of balsalmic vinegar in my rucksack? You betcha. And we're eating better than any of the other ...
Freezing on the Beach and really bad Nightclubs
... we decide to take a break from doing nothing and instead go to the beach. Cottesloe Beach is about 3 stops on the train from Fremantle and is another amazing beach. I'm kinda running out of new ways of describing all the beaches we've been to. But ...
Freemantle and the north
... I think they both had a great time and we were so glad they came over. All in all we are really enjoying living in Fremantle. It is definitely a different way of life to living at home even though we are both working. We have the beach on our doorstep ...
The search for wheels...
... Lonely Planet book looking for cars. Again I have no luck wrong rego, wrong make or just too damn expensive. Back in Fremantle, I go round the hostel notice boards again but still nothing. We may have to compromise our plans at some point. After ...

Freezing Freo
After almost four months in the tropics, this place is a bit of a shock to the system.. Its only 22 degrees!! And then this morning we saw rain for the first time in ages - I was tempted to take a photo! However novelty soon wore off! Sundancers ...
Perth
... decided to sit on the grass for a bit of a rest and to have an ice cream, Owen decided he would try and have a rest . Would the girls let him??? Back to the city to catch the train back to Fremantle and back to the campsite, move again tomorrow. ...
Back to the market...
Its another exciting day for us here. Or not. Friday is the start of Market weekend so we go back to the same markets and look at the same things for all of half an hour. Lisa tries a few cafes for work but they're only interested in 2 - 3 months ...
Kola cubes and foam shrimps
... lock on the passenger's side so i need to get that fixed. The rear passenger lock is also bollocksed from the last break in. Cheers Fremantle criminal community! I hope you die soon. What else? hmm, just spoke to Aaron, he's in Darwin doing some work as a ...
Freemantle bohemian
I wish I could say I had a long lie-in after the last week but no I was up early as I was spending the weekend in FReemantle, a harbor city just a couple of km south of Perth. First though I needed some things from Perth. I went shopping! I bought a pair ...
What's the first thing a pom should do in oz?
... people before us! The prison is the largest convict built structure in WA, and the most intact convict establishment in Australia. It remained in use as a high security prison until 1991, when it was decommissioned, perhaps the result of a riot ...
Little Creatures
... I fashion I saw from my balcony Chun Peng heading out at about 11am (he had told me he was also going to Fremantle today). I was therefore quite surprised to bump into him (with female company) on the platform at Perth station. We ...
Zurueck in der Zivilisation :)
... erstmal 5 Std im Internet verbracht, dann lecker gefruehstueckt (nach 6 1/2 Std auf den Beinen...) und dann haben wir uns von Fremantle auf den Weg in die City gemacht. So viele Autos, Ampeln und Verkehrszeichen, Menschen,.. War total komisch nach fast 4 ...
Fremantle
Heute bin ich am Strand entlang bis nach Fremantle oder kurz Freo gewandert. Diese Stadt ist ganz anders als Perth, lauter alte Haeuser und sehr sehr ruhig. War aber sehr interessant. Danach gings nochmal an den Strand etwas schwimmen ...
Broome-Perth
... . Monday was mostly driving, but we did get to see the amazing 'Pinnacles' desert, before continuing to Perth. Shortly after, Jo and I reached our apartment in Fremantle. Both the apartment and Fremantle are great, but more on Freo in the next ...
G'Day
I learned how to speak Aussie while I was here... Got to see how the original foreigners lived here. By the way, when I passed through immigration coming into the country I had to answer on the form if I had been convicted of a felony. The ...
The group comes together
... to show our parents the views of Perth and the lovely flowers in the park. We had dinner at Little Creatures Brewery back in Freo before heading to Fremantle Prison for a night tour. Plenty of corny ghost stories and cheap frights but good ...
Frollicking in Freo
... sitting in Mad Monk Brewery with a proper drink, watching the world go by on South Terrace, the ‘cappuccino strip’ in Fremantle. One of the first things we noticed was that pretty much everyone we came across was British! We’d heard 40% ...
Enjoying the beach in Fremantle
... Again, we made ourselves dinner, but after a long day of travel, we zonked out pretty early. Not too exciting. January 16 - Fremantle and Beach Poor Gerald woke up early (6am) and just couldn't go back to sleep. I, however, had no problems ...
Freaking out in Fremantle
The day was spent packing and doing last minute jobs in preparation for overseas travel the next day. We all watched the NRL final while sampling some local Swan beer which was a nice family activity. Raylene and Mich turned on a lovely roast ...
Cottesloe
... chambermaids where pestering me to clean the room and I'm on holiday I opted for the latter. Three or four stops down from Fremantle is a small town called Cottesloe, which apparently has a nice beach, so I headed off to investigate. As you can ...
Fremantle itself
... cold took precedence over some general mooching around. The market looked pretty from the outside; it's an old style building for Australia. Sorry I didn't take any photo's I ended up being rather to preoccupied with other matters. What I saw inside was ...
A little place called home...
...well, at least for a couple of weeks! This is the house that Joel has found for us whilst in Oz. It has 4 bedrooms, to be shared with his work colleagues, but our room is en suite, with a jacuzzi bath, it's beautiful! ...
I miss TV
... I'll have to work about 3 months there just to pay off my debt and get back to zero. How depressing. at weekends i stay in fremantle in my regular hostel (and watch consecutive dvds) and during the week i stay in the car close to work. my favoured spot ...
Fremantle

Australia - An overview
... also chock full of wildlife - at dusk, it's definitely best to slow down, because those Kangaroos are big! * Outback Australia: I'm talking about the Pilbera, The Kimberley, and the route down from Darwin to Alice Springs. It's a ...
Sunday Session
After our enormous drive we needed to stop for a while and ended up in Fremantle for a couple of days.. Fremantle is a suburb of Perth on the coast. It is a great little town. Nice restaurants and great bars. The tradition in "Freo" is for a Sunday ...
Freemantle Gaol
This prison was built in the 1850's, by the very inmates who were to inhabit it - talk about demoralising. Not only that, but the living conditions were very cramped, with cells only 2.1m by 1.2m, including a hammock for sleeping, a slop bucket ...
