[Avo]

>>>tappin from tassie

[Clunk]

I suppose the night tour of Freo Gaol is ok...... been 10 years since I did that though..... Markets are done by tourists but are a bit poo..... Little Creatures brewery is ok to get pissed on craft beer, cider and eat pizza

[Cuppa]

The market & the buskers there are worth a look. Micro brewery close by, as is fish & chips on the wharf.

[Clunk]

Adventure world water park no too far away

[Plasnart]

Woulda been great for me in '87 but Murray ruined the party by being totally inferior to Connor. Sheeat.....

[UncleFrosty]

If ya like your coffee, Roasting Warehouse was pretty OK. Bit easier to get parking than the main drag too.

[taslucas]

Yeah cool so basically what all my holidays end up like: drink, check out something local, drunk, eat, drink, sleep, coffee, check out something local, then repeat haha

>>>tappin from tassie

[pearcey]

Sorry Lucas can`t help with Freo as I bypassed it and ended up at Avo`s place, sxxt that can be scary too. ROFLMTO
I think you boys over there should organize a night on the town for the young fellow. just saying.

[taslucas]

>>>tappin from tassie

[Clunk]

Avo, clunko, How far are you guys from freo?

hope I got that right.
Last time I was in Freo it was '71

[Avo]

[taslucas]

Ok, it's going to be march 26th till 2nd April ish

>>>tappin from tassie

[Clunk]

Well I'm sure we could get a few of us together

[Bigcol]

lots of things to see and do
depends on what you like

War Memorial above Fremantle Harbour is nice picnic site - with incredible views - day and night
Fremantle Goal and the Round House & Museum if your that type of person
Fish & Greasy's down by the Boat Harbour - huge selection
Esplanade Hotel does a great feed
Kings Park at night - awesome
Kings Park during the day - have a look behind the War Memorial at the slope down to the river - it was modified in the 1920's to resemble the shore line of Anzac Cove at Gallipoli - the lake down there is whats left of where the River used to be
Queens Park (Eastern Perth City - near the Causeway) was modeled on Hyde Park in London - but miniature

Mundaring Weir
Swan Valley wineries


so much to see and do, depending on your tastes

[taslucas]

Yeah awesome, cheers col. The Gallipoli beach sounds interesting

>>>tappin from tassie

[DX grunt]

Go, go go. Plenty to see and do. Google it. Very multi cultural with heaps of various foods and coffees.

You'll love it and won't be disappointed.

Clunk did some of his own tattoos in Freo jail. Lol

[DX grunt]

There are trains and buses from freo to Perth if you want to see more or don't like driving. The train nearly runs sakk the way up the coast lone.

Enjoy Fremantle DOCKERS country. Lol

[DX grunt]

I'm just under an hour away, Avo about 4 hours....... whan are you over?

I'm about 4 hrs away, too. If I'm given dates, I'l do my best to join you, roster pending.

[taslucas]

Yeah awesome stuff. Well we'll be there for the week so maybe meet for a few beers and a meal sometime

stop frying your brain by watching Home and Away and learn to read.............. post # 20

[Bigcol]

but Kings Park, Mundaring Weir and Swan Valley aren't in Freo !!!!!!!!! :eck05:

but its not that far away
and

after 2 days, you've seen anything of interest in Freo (its really not that big - just stupid street designs)

[Bigcol]

Yeah awesome, cheers col. The Gallipoli beach sounds interesting

>>>tappin from tassie


when you look down, - right behind the Memorial, and looking slightly to your left and see the Lake, (you can imagine the rest of how the river used to be before they put in the Freeway), that is how it looked down to Anzac Cove

to the right, behind the Memorial, is the Gallipoli Steps, down to Mounts Bay Rd - again, modeled on the track at Gallipoli

looking straight at the front of the Memorial, to the Left (about 50-100yrds), is a viewing platform as well, it used to be the US Navy Viewing Platform Memorial - now its something else, as the US Navy pt in a new one


while looking down from the Memorial, basically right in front of you (to the right), where the Narrows Bridge is, is where the US Catalina Float Planes used to take off and land during the War

another piece of useless information for you

[taslucas]

Not useless at all mate. quite interesting

>>>tappin from tassie

2 days, are you sure? Hahahahaa

[Skitzyrex]

If I had the choice between Freo or Perth I'd pick Freo every time. Can go to the War memorial, There's a couple of different Freo Jail tours, roundhouse, Maritime museum, grab some fish and chips and watch the sunset from bathers beach or for a short drive go to Cottesloe.
Just because your in Freo, Perth is only a train ride away if you want to head there.

[Bigcol]

there is also the old Gun Emplacements in Mosman Park, on Stirling Hwy

[Avo]

gotta do a day trip to rotto rotnest island

[Bigcol]

just dont hurt the Quokka's, - you will get pinched - they have cameras in most places now

[taslucas]

Okey dokey!
Dates are 26th march, leave early 1st April. And I have no idea what my mate has planned in between.
Would be great to tick off a wa 4wd but I'm guessing any of that would be a few hours out of freo?

Bloody typical..... no Saturdays! !!!!!!.... so what time do you get in on Sunday?

[taslucas]

About 2pm

>>>tappin from tassie

[DX grunt]

If I'm able to, I'll meet you at the airport. The only major issue is that I'll have to take off all my aerials, or I won't get into the carparks. lol.

But I guess you're worth it. lol

[taslucas]

Coming up soon! Yeah!

>>>tappin from tassie

[taslucas]

We're staying in East freo about a block away from the river near whatever the bridge is called that the Stirling hwy goes over.

>>>tappin from tassie

[Avo]

just found out i will be in fremantle on the 27th and a bit of the 28th.....have to come up tio the big smoke and pick up our daughter off the sailing ship,...Leeuwin......look it up
might meet ya 28th for brekie if ya keen,yeah i can have a drink for brekkie,,,but just this once

[Plasnart]

Has anybody mentioned the Left Bank Hotel? Does it still exist? When I was living there back in the 90's it pumped on a Sunday but you could have played bocce in the bar on Saturday! West Aussies love a Sunday sesh!! Was a great place to get on it in my early 20's but 43 now so probably would choose something less hectic now.

Railway Hotel on Tydeman Road used to be an early opener Avo (maybe still is?). Used to drop in for "brekky" after night shift on North Wharf (bacon and egg rolls and 4 stubbies!) then ride home to Salter Point, have another 4 stubbies in the pool then in bed about 10am!! Great memories haha!

Edit: Just looked it up....North Mole, not North Wharf, Birksgate Road to be exact. Now Macrofertil Australia but was once Coflexip Stena Offshore making oil and gas rig flexible pipelines.

[taslucas]

Haha, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence but the only pub I looked at (which is the closest to where we'll be) is called The Left Bank. Seems a bit more up market now though plassy so they probably wouldn't let you in anyway

Yeah that's the place. 20 years on from when I was there though but was an upmarket place even back then. Whatever you do, make sure you have a beer at a pub while watching the sun set over the ocean (us east/south coasters don't see that often). You wont see that from the Left Bank in Freo but the Cottesloe Hotel has my fond memories of this and just up the road a bit from Freo.

Give Little Creatures brewery a visit.

[Avo]

Hey taslucas you keen on trying to organise a meetup for dinner with the WA crowd on monday night the 27th march?in freo somewhere

[taslucas]

Give Little Creatures brewery a visit.
Oh awesome, I like a bit of little creatures. I didn't know the brewery was there. Cheers!

Yeah that would be awesome. I guess anywhere around east Fremantle would be easy for me if there's any decent pubs. What about The Left Bank? That looks good

>>>tappin from tassie

Well I did mention Little Creatures back on post 6

[taslucas]

Oh I thought that was just the wind

>>>tappin from tassie

[Avo]

the left bank monday 27th...it's in meetups now.....

[UncleFrosty]

Had a beer or two at Clancy's Fish (Shack??) a coupla weekends back. Good variety of left-field beers that have a blatant disregard for limiting alcohol% to keep authorities happy... Good grub too...
Failing that there's sunset beers @ the OBH. "ain't nothing like a country crowd" as the bumper stickers used to say. It's gone a bit upmarket since then too tho'

[the godfather]

Freo prison tour at night is great. Also the tunnel tour under neath the prison.
Park yourself at Little Creatures for a few ales, then mosey on to the Sail and Anchor for a few more. Catch you breath then wander down to the Newport....
Mention my name and they will throw you out the door.
If you like a bit of scenery while drinking wander down to the Left Bank on the rivers edge.
If you can get out of town skip over to Rotto. Try and get a tunnel tour there as well.
Short of that, hook up with the Western Patrol Club and tag along on a run.

Fremantle is a pretty arty farty town full or weird arse people. I find grabbing a coffee on the Cafe strip and watching the world pass by quite enjoyable.
