Today we walked around John Forrest NP with ‘the in laws’ which took a bit of effort, because it was hot.

Then we had a real Aussie bbq. :D

Coming out of the cool and shady old railway tunnel.
John Forrest National Park is east of Midland, along the Great Eastern Highway in the Hills. It will cost about $9 per car, or free if you have the annual national parks pass (which is about $52).

AQWA at Hillary’s Boat Harbour

Tuesday, December 28th, 2004

Today I dropped Pascal and his parents off at AQWA, and went shopping at Whitfords City myself.

We had a drink at the Breakwater Tavern afterwards, and had noodles from the Noodle box for dinner.

New Maritime Museum seen from the Round House

Today we went sightseeing in Fremantle.

We visited the Round House, the Maritime Museum, the Freo Markets, and had Fish and Chips on the harbour.

Maritime Museum – Shipwreck Galleries – part of the Batavia, and lots of other Dutch stuff!
Unfortunately we ran out of time to go to the Fremantle Prison, but we have seen it before, and the in laws will have to go another time.

Christmas on Floreat Beach

Saturday, December 25th, 2004

Today it was about 40 degrees Celsius, and we spent the morning at Floreat Beach, body boarding and floating around (more floating around, there weren’t many waves, if you can even call them that!). I liked the beach though, at least it wasn’t too rough, and the water was nice and clear, with no seaweed.
In the afternoon a thunderstorm came through, and we had a bbq under the porch.

Serpentine Falls and Cohuna Wildlife

This morning Pascal and his parents visited Serpentine Falls National Park.
After I finished work at 1pm, we went to Cohuna Wildlife Park which is in the hills behind Gosnells. It’s not as nice as Caversham Wildlife Park (up in Whiteman Park) or Perth Zoo, but is still a good experience.
