Raunraun (trip) to Frementle City

When in Perth, it is worth seeing the place and FREMENTLE is no exception.
This city is located along the south east coastline of Western Australia and is WA's major commercial ports. Approximately 25km south of Perth, Frementle has long been known as Western Australia's second city.

Come follow me and lets go visit Frementle City, home to the Frementle Dockers (AFL team). Locals like to call Frementle "FREO"....

First Day in Perth

I arrived at Perth Domestic airport at around 1am on Sunday morning, 4th of July. It was a cold winter morning and the themometer read 1 degree celcius. I paid $25 for the taxi ride from the airport to Perth city where i would be accomodated.
On Sunday at around midday, i contacted a friend who was an old school mate of mine from Divine Word University in Madang, who is currently a student at Curtin University here in Perth. We took a tour around the CBD especially shops around the famous Hay Street Mall. The we took a bus ride to Curtin University to see my friend's hideout.
After a light lunch of Chicken and chips satuarated with Nando's 'periperi' sauce, it was off to the city again on the bus via Como and South Perth then across the Swan river to Perth again.
