Perth, Freemantle and Nemo 23/03/05 - 24/03/05

Went into the city where Jim bought a traditional Ozzy Akubra and then we caught the train in to Freemantle where we went on a tour of the prison and saw where they used to hang people! Nice! It was a boiling hot day and turned out to be 42'c!! Went Didge shopping so Jim could spend some more money! Headed back into the city and found a pub to have a few beers! Hit Northbridge that night, but was quite quiet and even though I hadn't had a lot to drink, when Jim got the Sambucca in it still made me ill! Have decided that I must be allergic to that stuff!

Next day we minced around the city for a few hours and sat by the river having a beer! Rode the free CAT bus round for about an hour (it would have taken 15 mins to walk) to go and fetch the campervan. NEMO - it was a tin on wheels but I loved it already! Took it for a drive around and then went food shopping for our big camping trip! Mark and Lesley were going out tonight so I offered to look after the kids, dropped Jim off to get a tattoo done (got stopped and breathalised on the way) and headed home! When Lesley and Mark got home we had to load the campervan Mark was a little pissed and managed to pull down a shelf in the laundry room while trying to get a load of stuff down for us! Eventually got van all loaded and looked forward (yeah right) to our 5am start!!!

Next stop who knows - we're heading North..........................................................
