After the seafood eating and arthouse visit earlier, it’s time to explore more!
Croke Lane
Walking on the streets of Fremantle, came across a road name CROKE LANE. I would have mistakenly added extra “O” and “D” which makes it CROOKED LANE. Hm..doesn’t sound right.

In Fremantle, there’s few ways of tour. You can tour around the area by your feet or with this cute little car scooter.

Cost AUD40 for 30 minutes. You can view the rates here.

Just married

And yeah, we just got married, that’s why we were in Perth honeymoon.

Nah! Just kidding. I dun think I would want to spend RM1446/day for a limou service, not that it’s not a pretty car, but I wouldn’t want to spend my day in the limousine for this visit.

And No, we weren’t getting married yet. We were lucky that the owner was so nice that he allowed us to just sit in to feel and snap photos. We were actually taking turns to snap a photo together with the owner and his car.

Ahead of the car, we spotted another nice unique antique car.

Again, we took turns to take photo with the car owner. But I can’t recall if she’s the owner or just the responsible person for the car. But, nevermind, nice car! How I wish I have this car to drive here, wow, imagine all spotlight on me and I’ll be talk of the town! Nice~ Oh crapz, sounds like I’m lack of attention.

In the streets of Fremantle, there were a lot of couples getting married and they travel with style with limousines(that’s what I think coz not so common in Malaysia). There are limousines every where!

Okay, some photos are kinda repeated. It’s the front, back and side view of the car. But really, there were lotsa limousines around. Or, was it just my luck to see that many that day?

After checking out all these nice limousines and car, we spotted this 2 door Perodua Kelisa Daihatsu Cuore.

But, it really looks like Kelisa right minus the other 2 door right with improvised front design? Opps… Lemme rephrase it, Kelisa really looks like Cuore right?!

Then, we also stopped by < ahref=”http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/maritime/” target=”_blank”>WA Maritime Museum at Victoria Quay, but they were closed. WTH, why does the shops closes so early at Perth?! It’s as early as 5pm!

Left with no choice but to linger outside the museum. Some views outside of WA Maritime Museum.

There is a long list of names engraved on the Welcome Walls which has the first batch of people whom arrived in Australia via Fremantle port.

But there were so many till I get stressed out trying to search if my ancestors name are there too. i din go through all walls anyway, just just too many, and I doubt my ancestors arrived in Australia. Okay, fret not, you can save your time by searching it online here too.

Stress

We found some names which are dated back at 1829. Okay, maybe that’s not the earliest there, but this is one of the earlierst I could find.

Hey, let me help you with this. “Oh gosh, what’s inside?! Did you just put cement in it? How come I couldn’t carry it?! Btw, dun forget to give me tips for my kind attempt to help.”

Beside the WA Maritime Museum, guess what’s the black thingie behind me.

It’s a part of submarine.

There’s a submarine! Oh my gosh!!! SUBMARINE, I wanna go in!!! But too bad, it was already closed. =( Tours starting from 10am-3.30pm only. So, I ended viewing from outside only. I din know submarine could be this big.

Submarine

Oh yeah, before I forget to mention this. On the first day itself, we spotted about 3-5 cases of police chase. The traffic police there are pretty active, they kinda hunt for traffic offenders. Once they spotted a traffic offenders, they’ll start chasing them and turn on the warning light and sound to alert the person infront to stop. The samans there are pretty expensive, and you can’t settle it under table. So, you’d better off obeying the traffic rules there.

Later we went to Frementle Memorium Park and spotted hot chick. Dun miss that, stay tune!

    erm…their traffic police is active..to catch traffic offenders. I heard from alywin that the robbery and other cases are quite minimal compared to here.

    Imagine their house dun have the compound gate, windows no grill, main door only 1 lock, room n toilet also no lock, night time usually super dark n quiet. Robbery cases still minimal.
