Irish Fenians
SIX IRISH FENIANS ARE THE ONLY ONES TO OF SUCCESULLY ESCAPED THIS PRISON,,,,,(it would take us irish wouldn't it?...)Plenty to say about Perth..My Da has family out here and it has pretty much been his life ambition to visit the place..So when the plane touched down from Sydney onto the Runway here in Perth i do believe i may of saw a tear forming...okay just a TEENSY one..but ya get what i'm saying...
There was so much to go see here i don't even know where to start. We stayed in a self contained villa thingy...Amazingly really...It was nice to be staying in a more home like house for the christmas hols....It had like three massive bedrooms, a kitchen, sitting room and dinning room...aswell as two bathrooms..what more could we ask for??....there was a pool in which the residents here could use, which was almost empty every day...It was central also to anywhere we intended on going...
We visited Fremantle prison, which was UNREALL.....We took two tours, a general one and a great escape tour....Both were as interesting as the other...The stories are still flowing through my mind as i Type...It took six irish lads to become the only succesfull escapies from inside the prison...In fact that very story is proving to be so spectacular that spielburg

the beaches weren't all that bad..very clean and safe..and all the people around were extremely nice...unfortunately i was sick bringing in the new year but the next day i made up for that when we shopped till we dropped with the new
Boat Race
On the way back from the beach one day we stumbled upon this...pretty cool... year sales...happy days indeed.,,,where else would you find better buys during the sales???but down under....nice...
Perth was peacfull but eventfull all at the same time...the perfect way to bring in 2008 in my opinion...
