After brekkie the boys were off to wash the cars. There was a car wash at the BP down the road. A couple of guys in a red HSV Ute were there and quickly came over to have a look at the cars and ended up helping chamois the green car. They noticed the tyres were Maxxis brand and as it turned out they were Maxxis tyre dealers. They told the boys to drop round to their store in the next suburb and they would give them free beach chairs, so if we get time we will try to find their shop.
Once the boys were back and had finished off cleaning the cars, we were on our way to the James Mitchell Park, which was on the south bank of the Swan River. It over looked the city. It took a while to find a car park, although the organiser had told us on the previous day that he had never seen the car park full, but we finally settled into a nice spot along the river for lunch. We were overlooking a little dam and were lucky enough to see a family of 2 swans and about 4 or 5 cygnets, along with a variety of ducks. After lunch, and after the kids had a play on the playground, we went for a walk to the kiosk for ice cream. We got a better look at the river and the view of the city.
We had decided to drive to the beach this afternoon to watch the sun set over the water. We led the Barnes’ to Fremantle to watch the sun set from nearly the same place we had seen it set for the first time nearly 3 years ago to the day on our honeymoon. It was nice to be back in Fremantle, but wish we had more time to have a better look around again. We watched the sun go down and decided to drive up to Cottesloe for fish and chips. We found a nice little place overlooking the water. We couldn’t work out how to get back to the Caravan Park as we retraced the way we had gone on the cruise he previous day.
