Once the GPS finally realised that we were in Perth and not Sydney, we had no problem driving to Fremantle. It took us quite a while to find a park, as it is obviously a very busy little town, or is that suburb?
We had fish and chips for lunch, apparently a must do in Fremantle although we only discovered that later. We roamed around the markets and hopped on and off the free buses. We found E Shed, which was a more interesting market than the original, and bought Perth baseball caps for $2.50 each.
There were statues everywhere, many of famous immigrants clutching their cardboard suitcases. At the maritime museum, there is an impressive memorial to the immigrants. Fremantle was a major port for the arrival of immigrants.
On the way back to the apartment we drove through Cottlesloe and along the beach. There are some beautiful beaches to the north of Perth, but apparently the sharks think so too.
