Today’s highlights were a guided tour of the Fremantle
Prison and visiting the National Maritime Museum. The latter’s external design is to simulate
an upturned dinghy.
The highlights were the Emden-Sydney 1914 naval engagement
and the Australia America’s Cup victory.
They also showed the live sheep trade as you can see from the picture.
Fremantle is a very attractive place with its extensive sandstone
architecture in a lovely setting. The
streetscape is confusing and although I was never lost I was geographically
embarrassed several times.
The Italian food has been spectacular and there are so many
Italian restaurants around as there were many migrants who settled here more
than 100 years ago.
The next update will be when we are in Colombo.
