Freemantle

Exhausted after three weeks of driving the coast to Albany we were faced with a dilemma - On to see the 'super pit' in Kalgoorie-Boulder, or head to the sleepy, happy town of Freemantle, near Perth, for some R&R. Kalgoorie was going to be 1200km round trip and we had two days to do it - "Not gonna happen" - So we headed to Freemantle. A nice little town, with a lot of character. It's older than Perth and one of the oldest settlements in Western Australia, so that meant, for the first time in ages, there were old buildings. This gave the place a sense of age. It has a beach, walking streets, cool markets - the type of place weekending Perthonians (?) go. I was relaxing and a nice end to having the camper van.
