Across Australia for a weekend Nov 9-11th

We travelled across Australia with Qantas, but Kel and Norma floated halfway around the world to see us on the Vollendam. Having met on our adventures on the Rocky Mountaineer in June, we couldn't wait to see our friends again. It was their first trip to Perth so we arranged to see a few sights around Fremantle - not realising that we were taking them from one prison to another!

The tour at Fremantle Prison was fascinating. We assumed the Round House was a signalling station for ships, but it was yet another prison! Our accomodation in East Perth was well located by the Swan River and we enjoyed a lovely meal outdoors on a balmy Perth evening. All too soon, it was time to head home but we hope we can meet again in Vancouver in the next couple of years.
