April 24, 2016. Ferry to Fremantle


LOCATION:  Perth, Western Australia
WEATHER:  Beautiful. Highs in 70s

One of the most popular tourist activities here is a day trip to nearby Fremantle.  We took a 90 minute ferry ride down the Swan River (so named for its black swans) to Fremantle on the Indian Ocean coast.

The Perth skyline is beautiful.


We passed lots of yachts and beautiful riverfront luxury homes.  Seems like a lot of money here.

Then, in Fremantle, there are a lot of freighters loaded with containers ready to sail across the Indian Ocean.

Fremantle is fairly small, and easy to navigate.  We walked to the central market.  Fremantle is known for its buskers......,sidewalk musicians, entertainers.  This one drew a big crowd.

 
 Then, we hopped on free public buses to tour the city.  We hopped off at a popular beachfront area.
