Wet, wet, wet! Both Mandurah and Perth forgot to put on the good weather for us. Umbrellas weren't much use because of the wind. These pictures are deceptive. When it wasn't raining the clouds had a break but the cold wind did not. Luckily for us we did not camp. The rain in Mandurah was so heavy when we arrived that we decided to stay in a hotel. In Perth we stayed with our good friends Lisa and Juan Cabrera, who welcomed us into their home like family.

| The Bell Tower, Perth city |
Interesting building - if you really like bells (and clocks) you might love it - kind of a bell museum, as well as an actual place bells are played from... At least it was out of the wind - until we stepped out onto the viewing platform. It was so windy that day that we couldn't go around one side - too dangerous!

| Little Creatures bar, Freemantle. |
Freemantle gaol. Built by convicts. They quarried the granite from the ground here first. Later used as a regular prison until the 90's. We would have liked to be able to take more of the tours, particularly the one canoeing through the underground tunnels.
