Fremantle | Photo Diary

[Fremantle] reminds me of an English port town (with better weather!)

[The Round House] is the oldest remaining building in Western Australia. There was a couple getting married on the grassed area just left of the Round House, and another down on the boardwalk. Perfect weather for a wedding!

After lunch at [Little Creatures] we wandered the streets, taken over by the [Fremantle Arts Festival]

Sculptures were scattered on the beachfront, including this cactus art at the end of the Whalers' Tunnel

The sandstone architecture in [Fremantle] is amazing. Most of the lovely heritage buildings have been taken over by universities such as Notre Dame - not a bad place to go to university! However we did see the most amazing pre-Federation 3 bedroom loft apartment for sale... #futurehomeplease

Maylands Foreshore | Good Friday

Maylands is located four kilometres northeast of Perth on the Swan River. It is also home for the next 10 days.

So whilst my boy was flying people around Western Australia (for the first time!) I did some exploring. 

Impressed by the intensity of colour in Western Australia Dirt more orange and water more blue.
