Four Weeks

It hardly seems possible that we arrived four weeks ago today.  We have done so much and have so much more planned that I think the next four weeks will be busy.

We are looking forward to seeing Gavin on Tuesday after he has been at work for the last two weeks and have lots of places to visit and people to see.

I am pleased to say the wedding music did not keep us awake, think all this fresh air is helping me sleep well.  All quiet today and you would not know such a lovely occasion had taken place.

We headed for our favourite beach and expected it to be busy but there were more cars than usual.  We were surprised to see quite a crowd of families by the rocks, when we got closer we saw two mermaids!  I had read there are going to be mermaids as part of the Coogee Live event next month but these were entertaining children for a party, so cute.  Coogee Live is a free event held in the beach area at Coogee very close to the Freo beaches.

After a swim we walked along the beach and were surprised again to see loads of shells, not seen so many on Freo beaches before and will try and find out why there are so many now, presume the tides brought them in.  Also found a piece of what we believe to be cuttlefish.

I spotted two guys on jet skis quite close to the shore but not going too fast. As they got closer I saw they had what looked life lifeguard gear on and guess they were patrolling the beaches.  I tried my ‘rashie’ top out while swimming today and it was comfortable and kept me cooler when I came out of the sea and not worry about getting sunburnt.

Caversham Wildlife Park

Richard suggested we visited Caversham again as the weather has been cooler and cloudy today and perfect weather to walk round a wildlife park.  It hasn’t changed much, sad there were no Quokkas to be seen this time, we forgot to ask why though.  The kangaroos seem to have a much larger enclosure and are laid back as ever. One reason to return was that Lisa had told me you can now not only see and stroke the koalas but hug one as well.  This is the only thing to cost extra to the entrance fee.  We got concession entry tickets as we are old!  I was so fortunate to get the last place to hold a koala at the 3pm session, everything else had gone.  A lady asked about it and we beat her by about two minutes, phew I was so excited, doing this for you too Lisa x. We looked around and saw a few animals and birds we hadn’t seen on our last visit and walked in the kangaroo enclosure which as I said was huge.  We saw a couple of mum’s laying down resting and their...

Woodman Point Beach

We went to pick up Gavin from his house ready to go to the beach and I went to his door but on the driveway I was called by a guy from the development.  He introduced himself as Howard and obviously thought I lived at Gavin’s because he asked if he could have a look inside at how the owners had renovated it.  He explained he has had his property for 11 years but has let it out and lived in his other house in Coral Bay.  As he and his wife are getting older, 75 they decided to move back to Fremantle as it is more convenient for shops, doctors etc and wanted to renovate and had heard how Gavin’s landlord had knocked a wall down in the kitchen. It was so funny as he was so friendly, Gavin said it is typical of Aboriginal people, then he called his friend, a guy from Yorkshire to have a look too.  Gavin was great and showed them around and then Richard came searching for us as we had been so long, he had parked out on the road.  We eventually set off for the beach. ...
