I rose from my bed early Wednesday morning caught a bus into town connecting with the Fremantle train around 8 am, when we arrived at Freo we went for a vegetarian breakfast at Dome. Unfortunately for us none of the museums were open yet so we visited the Round House first before moving on to the excellent Shipwreck Museum near the Marina which featured the wreck of the Batavia and then the equally great Maritime Museum which featured the magnificent Australia 2 racing yacht.
Next we jumped on the free bus to the Fremantle gaol, the tour guide was both interesting and at times amusing unfortunately we had some whiny kids and a couple of released criminals who absurdly thought they were something special. This gaol was a tough place to be in its day, it is a shame that all gaols aren't more like it then the bastards might think twice about committing crimes.
