It was no surprise to find out we would be having another glorious day today with blue sky and a shiny sun, so it was time to go and visit Freemantle.
So back to the train station to take the same train we took when we went to Cottlesloe (the beach), Freemantle is only a few stops further in the line. In fact, is the end of the line.
Perth Central Station
Freemantle station
Freemantle is a nice and small picturesque village where the swam river ends. It was created as a penal colony and it evolved from there. Today it still has most of the original buildings, or at least the style. It is a popular place to go and spend your Sunday as we found out. The place was crowded with people, specially families it is a nice family day out, specially because of the Market which only runs from Fridays to Sundays.
We walked about and visited the village, there even was a boat market there! Anyone thinking of buying a boat? we are still on time to make your bidding.
After lunch and after having visited the whole village we decided to go to Cottlesloe (the beach) which was on the way back to Perth and spend the afternoon there.
Inside the Freemantle station
Today it was quite windy on the beach but there were quite a few people around
and despite of the strong wind, the sea was fairly calmed, i.e. no great waves. Perfect weather for kitte-surfing
Unfortunatelly, the wind was so strong it was difficult to take the picture so this is the best shot I got...with no kitte. O:-)
Then back to the train. The train station is probably about 1Km or so from the beach which you have to walk although it's a nice and friendly area to walk through
This time we didn't have to rush to cross the railways when we got there
Back to Perth, compulsory visit to McDonalds' free Wifi and finally back to our accomodation to get ready for another hard day at the office. ;-)
No plans for tomorrow...I think we'll play it by ear depending on the weather...
