We stopped for the evening in a town called Freemantle, it is a bohemian town, with lots of Victorian buildings, from the time it was a major port for Perth. Marie headed into the quirky shops to get her ...

As a special treat and under instruction not to spend Christmas money on boring stuff we took that advice and booked ourselves on a "swimming with dolphins" experience and many thanks to those of you who made it possible. Lucky for us the location was down at Rockingham, where we spent xmas with Rhiannon and Andrew. This was perfect... a nice qu...

However, Shelly and her dad took us out on their boat today and were determined to get us accustomed to life beneath the waves. Needless to say both Karen & I got into the Auzzie sp...
