Submarine at Maritime Museum

Monday, July 11th, 2005

On Saturday we drove to Fremantle and had ‘brunch’ at the E-shed Markets (which is very similar to the Freo Markets, but then over at the port) Then we went to the new Maritime Museum (which was partly closed, so free entry), and then we did a 75 min tour of the Submarine, which was well worth the $8!! Our guide was an old Navy officer, who’d spent 13 years on submarines, and the longest he’d been submerged was 10 and a half weeks! It’s so hard to imagine, as the submarine was already soooo cramped with 10 people in it for 1 hour, let alone 62 people for 10 weeks!!!!

On Sunday we had dinner at Anna Vietnamese Restaurant in Leederville, which was a first for Pascal and I, and we’ll go again.

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.
