Day 23: A visit to Fremantle and a ferry-ride on the Swan River

Just around the corner from the hotel, I caught bus 103 to Fremantle. The bus passed through a number of prosperous-looking suburbs with streets lined with lovely one-storey houses.
As the bus arrived in the city of Fremantle the buildings became less uniform, from balconied hotels...























to tiny one-bedroom bungalows, which were among the first residences in the city.












At the railway station I crossed the lines towards the harbour, from where the ferry back to Perth would depart. Fremantle is a bustling port, where many cargo ships dock, arriving mostly from Asia.

























There is also a passenger terminal, where the Queen Mary 2 had recently docked.





































As the ferry took me back to Perth, I delighted in the beautiful and relatively cool day and enjoyed the scenery along the Swan River.




































As the Perth skyline came into view I realized that my Australian experience would, all too soon, be coming to an end.
