An uneventful trip and 2 hours later we were setting up in Karrinyup Waters a very nicely appointed c/park, clean amenties, a couple of picturesque 'lakes', containing some waterfowl and other creatures. some green grass areas and located in Gwelup. We set out our annexe and began to get to know our surroundings.
We deduced that a lot of people actually live here and go to work as sometimes there is 2 cars per site and they go off and come back at the same times.
The weather is patchy and thunderstorms are continuing, we drove to look at some of the many beautiful beaches but they were not at their best in the rain, the locals are assuring us that this weather is unusual, but it doesn' t bother us, in fact we like a bit of 'weather'.
A $1.50 (seniors rates) bus ride took us to the Stirling Railway Station and from there that ticket took us on trains and buses all the rest of the day, then in Perth City there are 3 different, free bus routes on which you can hop on hop off as often as you like. Well, we went around several times didn't we, looking at some of the beautiful buildings and marvelling at others, hopped on and off several times, had a nice lunch, then bus and trained back home, lovely, I particularly enjoy train travel.
We did something similar another day in Fremantle, also with 2 different free bus routes, then we hopped off and walked to see other things close up.
John has been to see some of his old friends at Capricorn Society and visited others at their homes.
My friend Penny and I have caught up by phone and have other plans.
Perth is a beautiful city, we observed it from several locations on King's Park which overlooks the Swan River and the city.
Tina and Andrew took us to lunch at Hillary's harbour on Sunday, a lovely location.
