No blog yesterday as didn't take any photos as we drove from Albany to perth. Went through a small town called Boddington but rod wouldn't stop as we had managed to overtake 4 road trains and didn't want to get behind them again. Stopped at another small town called konjolup for lunch where we looked at a rose maze, which told the story of 3 women who moved there in 1900 - one English, one italian and an aboriginal. Very interesting. Today went to Rottness Is...

The picture is taken from a boat leaving Perth on the Swan River heading for Fremantle. A beautiful day a bit cooler but still 28 deg. Walked around Fremantle, had lunch and took the train back to Perth. Picture of town hall same as my dad took in 1944. Managed a swim today, so ready for dinner now!

Arrived after 10 hour flight. Hotel very nice here for 2 nights. It's 6pm and 35 deg. The picture shows the Waca cricket ground. Big city with lots of development going on. Looked very dry as we flew in and they have had some bush fires here too.
