Fremantle and Perth - February 19-20

Our last two days were spent in and around Perth. We had prearranged a 12 hour tour. What were we thinking. We almost talked ourselves into cancelling but in retrospect we are glad we did not. We spent a long day visiting a wildlife park where we could get up close and very personal with many of the animals. We traveled north and west and ended up having lunch at The Lobster Shack. Turns out lobstering is a large business in Australia. However, we had very good fish and chips for our lunch. After lunch in the very hot middle of the afternoon we visited The Pinnacles Desert area where we went for a very short walk. The day ended with a dune buggy ride in the sand dunes. Lucky for us it was late in the day so we could enjoy the beautiful late day light. Our driver tried to get us to the Indian Ocean for sunset but it was not to be. I did manage to make one sunset shot out the bus window over looking the Perth metropolitan area. We headed home late on the 20th after taking a 3 hour tour of Perth. What a beautiful trip!
