Anna's Aussie trip, Post 7: WA, Day 6

On Sunday, November 20th, Mum, Dad and I went to a nearby meeting and then had lunch back at the caravan park.  After lunch, they took me into Perth to show me some of the sights in Western Australia's capital city.

First we saw The Bell Tower, Home of the Swan Bells...

Then we walked out onto a pier on the Swan River and watched a tour boat pull in...

Next we drove up to Kings Park and Botanic Garden, which has an incredible location overlooking Perth city and the Swan River, but which was so full of Sunday afternoon picnickers that finding a park was almost impossible!  We found one eventually though, and spent a while enjoying the view before continuing on our way.

Next we headed to Fremantle, where we stopped at a hilltop memorial overlooking the coastal city...

...And then we drove into Fremantle and wandered through the streets, where we came across a street market with a "sticky maze"!  I really liked Fremantle - it had interesting architecture and a fun vibe.

That evening I took Mum and Dad out for dinner at Miss Maud Swedish Restaurant to thank them for a wonderful 6-day caravan trip.  This smorgasbord restaurant was recommended to me by one of our blog readers (thanks Jac!), and has been open 365 days a year without exception since 1973.  Not a bad effort, eh?!  We all enjoyed our delicious dinner at Miss Maud's, and I thoroughly recommend a visit if you're ever in Perth!

Later that night, Mum and Dad took me to the airport for my flight back to Brisbane.  Thanks, Mum and Dad, for a great trip!
