Wednesday, 15 October – Karranyup (Perth)

The weather is cooling down as we work our way south.  Even though it is nearing the end of the season we saw many wild flowers along the roads.

Thursday we tried out Perth’s public transport by going down to Fremantle where we visited the Heritage listed Fremantle Prison and wandered the streets looking at the old buildings. The public transport proved cheap, modern and efficient.

Next day we got back in our cars, met up with David’s brother in law, Bryan, and went out to the historic village of New Norcia. This village which has many heritage listed buildings was built by the Benedictine Monks to originally convert the Aborigines to the Catholic faith and later used as a boarding college.
