    Day 2 Perth, WA

    May 4 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Today we visited an excellent natural history museum in Perth known as the Boola Bardip. From huge 5-ton wrecking balls that cleared Australian forests for farming to delicate sea coral, it had it all. There were displays of 6 foot high termite colony hills. There was a sad display and video testimonials about the massacres of aborigines that stretched from the 1800s into the mid 20th century. We Ubered 30 min to Fremantle to join our ship and quickly ran into several friends from our 2023 ATW cruise on the same ship.Read more
