Perth and surrouds.

Spent a pleasant month at Club Capricorn Yanchep while we waited for xmas and New Year to pass. Nice area with very good public transport. Bus stop outside the resort to Butler train station and then train into Perth central. With a senior card a day saver cost $4.70 for use till midnight on day of issue for bus, train and ferry. We got bus and train to Fremantle, had 2 different tours of the gaol, really interesting. Fremantle has free bus doing tourist areas, museum very good. Joondalup shopping centre on the train route, just been extended to largest centre in WA. We checked it out one morning before the xmas rush started, easy to get lost.there.!!!! Went to Rockingham on the train, very nice esplanade area then on to Mandurah, also very scenic. We decided to check out the small inland towns close by so had a drive to York. Motor museum is awesome, some unique pieces. Information centre has free wifi so downloaded some info. The building is doubles as the community hall where concerts are held. Upstairs is an ancient projector when movie night was popular. Continued drive to Northam, much more industrial then on to Toodyay, nice rural town. Enjoyed our stay in Perth,Yanchep is an ideal base to explore Perth, all amenities are there between Yanchep and Two Rocks. The coast is stunning, Yanchep lagoon is beautiful, sheltered and ideal for all ages, windy as always but nice coffe shops and sheltered bays. Enjoyed our time there.
