A call to the oven repair guy and of course the parts haven’t arrived. So over to the reception to book in an extra night.

Day 95 – Fremantle Day 3 – Rottness Is
We’re booked on the 9am ferry over to the island. We haven’t booked any tours or bikes. This ended up being a good thing as we had planned on getting bikes, but Justine has woken up with a pinched nerve or something in her shoulder and riding a bike is probably out.

Today we take a trip into Fremantle proper. I spent a day here while on a Perth work trip, probably 25 years ago. I remember it being a cross between the Rocks and maybe Norton St in its heyday.
Day 93 – Fremantle Day 1
Nothing really to report today. A bit of a catch up day, washing, some (special) shopping and a bit of a rest.

We wake up to a beautiful morning. Nice and sunny, but not too hot, the wind is calm. After brekkie we suggest the kids go for another swim and to our surprise they jump at it. We all go in, this time they’re in swimmers. It’s pretty fresh, but not too bad once you’re in.

What a place to wake up in. We are helped in the wake up with a couple of guys launching their fishing boat, but that was OK.

A really nice night. Overnight a campervan and 4×4 with rooftop tent have turned up.
Kalbarri NP has two parts, one north of Kalbarri and the other to the south, the Southside is more about the coastline. We leave the van behind and take the opportunity to backtrack a bit to see some of the sights. We visit Natural Bridge and Island Rock.

A windy night, when we wake we find the young couple in the tent next to us are having trouble. Their tent has these rubbish pegs, I’ve seen paperclips with more metal in them. That and the fact they are trying to hammer it into near rock. Speaking of hammer, they’re doing this with a saucepan, I’d lent them a hammer last night. In all the wind the tent is having trouble staying put. If we would have been staying I would have lent them some heavy duty pegs
Day 88 – Denham to Monkey Mia Return
Up early as we’re advised to leave around 7 to get there in time for the 8 am “Dolphin Experience”, why is everything now an “Experience”? (hint, so they can charge you more)
Anyway we’re there before 7:30 and have heaps of time. Like a lot of things at this time of year there are not a lot of people around which is nice.
We see a few dolphins circling as the talk gets under way. We’re told, that there may be about 100 people today, but that in peak there could be around 700. Tip, try not to come here in the peak.

We have a slow start as we plan to visit the Carnarvon Space Museum, but it doesn’t open till 10. There was a manned flight tracking station here for a few years during the Apollo missions and OTC dish. It mostly a museum about the moon landings, Liam loves this stuff….Who am I kidding, I love this stuff!
