Fremantle


Dave his thrilled to be in the drivers seat of the 1951 campervan
Drove on next day looking for another campground. Swan valley very pretty and the ladies in Guilford info centre very helpful. One of the oldest parts of Perth and very English looking with village green, church and cottages. Unfortunately campgrounds not right for us. Drove on to Armadale but three cravan parks were residential and not for tents. Driving and looking at campgrounds getting very hard work when we got to Woodmans Point on the coast 10kms from Fremantle. Perfect big 4 camp and residential place. Watched sunset and Youngmi chatted to Korean guy fishing from jetty. Two scuba divers going out after dark. They said they had good torches.




Took the car to Tyrepower as one of the tyres had been trying to go flat since Darwin. They fixed the tyre which had a nail in for $25. Car feels much better. Walked around Freo which has lots of old buildings and in places the atmosphere of Accrington





Came back in the evening which was wonderful. Pubs, cafes, market, fishing boat Harbour with fish and chips. Everyone very friendly and prices reasonable , different to the impression we had of booming Perth.



Waffle dogs sound better than dagwood dogs-just

the campervan we saw in Broome which we thought didn't move

The proud owner a russian guy from Canberra takes our picture with his camper. He says it is a 1951 morris and he used to be a mechanic. It runs on unleaded with a top speed of 70kms. His 5th trip around Oz.He is a decorator in the Canberra summer but his van is a bit like the cobblers shoes
