Amazing Time at Fremantle

Today we had a very educational day. In the morning we got up and had our breakfast like usual. When we'd got dressed and all that, we got in the car and were on our way to Fremantle. Fremantle is a town outside Perth. I didn't really want to go though. But, it turned out quite well.

We drove around in the rain to the seashore. At the and of the road that was sided by rocks and then there was water, was a lighthouse. A green lighthouse to be exact. I took some photos and we had a look around. Then we drove to…

The Maritime Museum. Maritime is stuff to do with water and the sea. Anyway, we went in and payed. I looked around the souvenirs first. There were little fluffy toys there.

We also had a look into this room where there were lots of pictures of these really weird animals. They also had funny names given to them. Like Aunt Rose, Bernhard and lots of other hilarious names.

Then we moved onto the tour at ten thirty. Our guide was called Fritz. He was a tour guide for taking people to a submarine outside the museum. The submarine was AMAZING!! The submarine was called the HMAS Ovens.

First we looked at a front of a submarine which had one torpedo in it. It was really good.

Then we went into the actual sub. It was outside the water though, on a boat ramp or something. The thing was HUGE!! We climbed onto the top and entered in through a thing that was set up.

We came down into the torpedo room. It had two torpedo holes and a lot of other stuff. Fritz told us about how people escape from the room and lots of other interesting things.In between the quarters there was the galley. It was really small.

We soon entered the sleeping quarters. There were lotus of bunks and a few tables. This was only the junior section though. We walked on and came to the senior sleeping quarters. All of the bunks had little curtains to draw when they wanted to be alone. I really wanted to get into a bunk.

We went through to the captains quarters. He had an extra extend bed because he had been so tall.Then we went through to the controlling place. There were SO MANY switches buttons and handles.

After that we went past the toilets. They are really small. You actually have to undress outside and back into the toilet. There was a shower in another little compartment too. It's really different from living on land.

Soon we passed on and went to the engine room. This was where the engineers slept. After that we went right to the back. This was where there were desks. This boat, ('you step into a boat and onto a ship' said Fritz) was only used to train sailors. They never fired a torpedo in anger, it was just practice.

When we left we went back into the museum. We had our quick lunch and kept looking around the museum. For lunch I had a sandwich filled with lettuce, ham, tomato, cucumber and maybe one or two other vegetables.

The rest of the museum was really good. I really enjoyed it. There was lots of stuff about ships and sea animals. There was even a bit about Indonesian stuff.

When we had finished we went outside for some photos. Bad luck. It started raining. We went back to the car and drove back to Perth.

To my good luck, we drove to the Bell Tower. I really wanted to climb it. At the bottom was a moat sort of thing and in the middle was the Tower. We walked across and into the gift shop. Mum and I payed to go up, meanwhile dad and my brother stayed at the bottom.

Mum and I took the lift up instead of walking. We stopped at the fourth floor. We thought it was the sixth floor (which is the highest public can go). We got the lift again to the top. It was an AMAZING view. There was a security guard up there to make sure nobody did something stupid (like jumping off the edge (who would DO that though?!).

We walked back down via the stairs. It wasn't that long if you were walking down the stairs. We came to the bottom and we left the Tower to some shopping.

The shopping was boring. That's all I can say about it. When we finally got back to the caravan, we loaded all the stuff out of the car. Soon we had dinner. I had rice and chicken, mum and dad had vegetables, rice and chicken and my brother had a chicken avocado sandwich. We all wrote our journals and went to bed. What an ENORMOUSLY GREAT day at Fremantle, Perth. (don't worry, I not going to write Fremantle, Perth, WA, Australia, Southern Hemisphere, Earth, Orion Arm, Universe!!! Opps, I just did!!)
