Perth

Arrived in Perth, via Singapore, around 1am. Thankfully, a quick trip through immigration, bag quickly provided and a short taxi ride to the hotel, meant that i was there around 45mins later.

Perth is famous for being the most remote city in the world and has a fairly relaxed but impressive feel to it. The centre appears quite busy but most of the activity seems to take place on/around the waterfront (apparently one in three families own a boat here).

Based on advice before i came out, i left Perth and took an hour boat ride down to Freemantle. Freemantle is smaller than Perth and a good place to slowly spend a day/half day. Took some time to go around the Western Australia Maritime Museum which was fairly low key but included a fair amount on Australia 2, the boat that won the Americas Cup in the 1980's.
