We took a day cruise over to Rottnest Island and enjoyed the sea views as well as the sunny weather.
We saw some of the Island's Quokkas, which is like a small wallaby and native to the Island.
We also took a tour of Fremantle Prison which has now been decommissioned as a prison.
Many of the cells have been painted by the inmates but the tour guide told us that is was regarded as graffiti.
Pretty fancy graffiti and it shows that people like to decorate their space to brighten their lives. The paintings were a huge improvement on the bare walls.
One of the cells was set up to show what conditions were like when the prison was first built in 1851. We can highly recommend the tour for its insight into our historical past.
Hugs, Jan Mac
