We stopped at Wireless Park on the way which was interesting; however, the Museum was closed but we went to the viewing area which was an old radio mast base which had views across the Swan River.
Incidentally it reached 39.9 degrees today, very hot!!!
We then drove on to Point Walter Park, which has a sand spit into the river. It is a lovely spot with a beach ideal for families, lots of trees so plenty of shady areas.
We had a cup of coffee under a very large tree which had cockatoos in it as well as other birds.
Our next port of call was Fremantle.
We parked by the sheds and viewed the Replica of The Endeavour, which we saw being built in Fremantle 13 years ago. It was closed to the public but it was fun seeing it.
We then drove down to the New Maritime Museum where the Australia II yacht is, which won the America's Cup.
The Museum has many interesting displays.
We also saw the Leeuwin II leaving the port and taking passengers out on a evening cruise.
We then started our journey home which takes about an hour along the coast road. The sea breeze had come up but it was still very hot at 35 degrees!!
