Fremantle Buildings

After a light lunch, I walked past the Oval where Aussie Rules is played by the Fremantle Football Club, the Dockers, who played the Gold Coast SUNS on Saturday 6 September for the second Elimination Final at Optus Stadium, Perth, and lost by just one point. I watched the match at the Irish pub on Murray Street, Perth.
I continued down South Terrace which is also known as Cappuccino Strip because of the abundance of coffee bars. There were some beautiful balconied buildings along this street and others such as High Street.
I went into The Round, the original town gaol, which had a small museum.
Bathers Beach was below The Round and further round the bay were the yacht harbour and restaurants.
The Shipwreck Museum had a preserved section of the Dutch East India Company ship Batavia, which was wrecked in 1629, followed by a massacre by some of the crew of some of the survivors. Items from other wrecks and their exploration were exhibited as well.
I spoke to the driver of an Outback Spirit bus who also knew Natalie and Dave Patrick and Gaetano Barone. Her colleague said that you weren't allowed to face backwards in the bus by Australian law, hence the lack of card tables in their bus and in the Intrepid bus I'd seen in Shark Bay.
At 18.00, the joining meeting for the Intrepid trip to Margaret River was held at the hotel. Tracey was the leader together with Mags from Salisbury, Nicki from Chessington, Edwina from Canberra, and Jenny from Auckland.
We went for dinner to a large restaurant in a converted barn or warehouse where you had to shine a torch to be able to read the menu.Read more
