We checked out Gypsy Tapas in Fremantle and you know what? It was good. They offer an all you can eat for $40/head option but we were stuffed by plate 11 so I suspect you wouldn’t get great value for the all you can eat option unless you were a real piggy pig. And we [...]

Another incident stopped the trains last night, well, stopped the Fremantle line, and this time I was on the train. The train stopped about 25 m shy of the Karrakatta platform. The driver’s voice came over the PA – “Passengers. There has been an incident and the train will be stopped for a while. Please [...]
You can’t wear your vintage dress just anywhere in Perth you know. It would feel decidedly out of place (for me) in most places bar a fancy dress party and of course, Fremantle. Fremantle with its bohemian culture is a place where anything goes so I went. I only wish I had the white gloves [...]
Our 18th wedding anniversary saw us head to Fremantle to celebrate. We started at the Sail and Anchor where I have to say I was disappointed with the beer list… none of my favourites on it. I ended up with a midi of Redback, Groover had an IPL which he was very happy with. The [...]
My baby is thirteen and she is gorgeous. Today we went on the tunnel tour under Fremantle Prison, the largest convict built establishment in Australia. I think my girl was impressed that the jail was still in use when “I was alive”. In fact they closed the prison in 1991 and then had to wait [...]
I’m listening to Corrine Bailey Rae’s Put Your Records On, it’s just the perfect Sunday morning track. This morning we wandered down to the port to check out the Queen Mary 2, the largest passenger liner in the world. Three times the size of the Titanic, the ship dwarfs the Fremantle Passenger Terminal. We couldn’t [...]
No. These fellows in the pool are not thespians. Well… they might be… but more likely they are miners. I’m in Karratha and that is the pool at the caravan park where I’m staying. And yes. I did slip into the water in my bikini. I stayed up my end though. Last night I was [...]
Meet Belongum! He kindly invited me to the opening of Artsource Open House and I was delighted to meet a fellow blogger. We’ve been crossing paths this past year as both our jobs involve some travel to regional WA, I believe one time we might have even been in the same airport at the same [...]
In the olden days when I was a young reporter based in Bunbury (two hours south of Perth) and in love with a young salesman living in a flat in Cottesloe… bless him, he taped my rural report on rye grass and apple scab over his ex-girlfriend’s tape of favourite songs… I used to make [...]
Is they accumulate in odd places, in those drawers you keep meaning to clean out, like sand in a beach carpark or dust bunnies under the bed they drift together until you have no idea what they were for or even if they were yours in the first place. I was at my brother’s house [...]
