The morning consisted of washing most of our clothes, the joys of packing light! Once everything was hung out to dry we headed out to catch the train to Fremantle. Fremantle is a small town with a fishing harbor. So on arrival we headed straight to the harbor for some lunch at one of the many seafood places.
