Fremantle for the night, then onto Ledge Point

Ledge Point via Fremantle

We had heard all sorts of thing about Perth city and Fremantle and decided we needed to have a look and make our own judgements. We decided to spend the night in Fremantle. The city is full of historic buildings and of course a very impressive port. We need to push on so maybe one day we can get back to explore further. For now though I'm happy to have at least had a quick visit. Using the freeways we where able to get to the other side of Perth quickly and hassle free. We even managed to get bargain Diesel $148.9 a litre, just the North side of the city.
We pulled into Ledge Point at lunchtime after having a fantastic run on the road. The only caravan park in town was a nearly new Big4. What a lovely park, clean and spacious, plenty of activities for the kids. What more could parents want? That right cheap prices, we got that too. They had a special for Big4 members that children stay free YEAH!





We checked in and set up and the went to the next town Lancelin to go sand boarding on the sand dunes.
What a fantastic afternoon, so much fun. Both the kids and John and I had a great afternoon and the weather was perfect as well. We did find climbing up and down the sand dunes exhausting, so after 3 hours we hit the local milk bar for a cool drink and an ice cream each before returning to the caravan park for dinner and a well earned rest.




We also decided that we would extend our stay for another night and take the opportunity to explore more tomorrow.
The town has a strong professional fishing fleet. We visited the local fish shop for some fresh fish bargains, and went back to play in the amazing Lancelin sand dunes.I am so grateful for days like these as this is what this trip was to be about. Very happy after our second day we had an early night ready to move onto Jurien Bay.
