Tuesday 14th Aug - Fremantle

Got the train out to 'Freo' for the afternoon, which is a charming little colonial era town just outside Perth. There's lots of maritime history here, with two museums that are worth a visit. One of them focuses on ship wrecks in the vicinity dating back to some of the early European visits to this part of the world in the 1600s.

I had lunch in micro brewery called 'Little Creatures', which my guide book recommended for both the food on the beer. Its definitely worth a visit. Despite it being the middle of winter I was able to sit outside and enjoy my lunch. All the more enjoyable given that it was supposed to rain today.

For anyone who's a fan of the Crocodile Dundee films, apparently Wally's truck or 'ute' in the local parlance, is housed in the motor museum in Fremantle. I was going to pay it a visit but ran out of time.
