Another day at the seaside

Today Sally and I borrowed Age's 5.7L Monaro and went exploring for ourselves. It's a bit of a shame to have the use of a real muscle car and have to drive it like a granny to Tescos because of the really strict speed limits. Still, there's no law against acceleration and I did put my foot down pulling away from the lights a couple of times. It sounds a bit like a grizzly bear choking on a badger.

We went to Fremantle (or Freo as it's known here) first. It's a old port town and very different from the modern city of Perth. We went through the market, had walk around the harbour and then went to see the old Roundhouse where we saw the firng of the 1 o'clock signal cannon.

We grabbed a quick lunch and drove down the Kwinana Freeway towards Mandurah, then turned off towards Safety Bay where we stopped and had a walk along an absolutely stunning beach. The only problem was the sign that said 'Beware of Snakes' - Sally's not very keen on snakes (I don't like them much myself either) - but we didn't see any.

Finally, we set the satnav for Home and drove back to Age's house.

In the evening we Age's sons Anthony and Ashley, and Anthony's wife Charlotte and son Ashton, came round for a barbie. We had some beer as well.
