Well the house now has a roof on and is really starting to take shape. The next stage is for the internal plaster work to be completed and then hopefully lock up (windows and doors on) before Christmas. We'll keep you posted!

Kings Park & Fremantle - Nov 2007





We took Joe's mum and dad to see a very small bit of Kings Park. We had some lunch there and then headed for the cruise boat down the Swan River to Fremantle. The top right photo is the old swan brewery which has now been converted to luxury apartments. The bottom left picture is just one of the many multi-million dollar houses lining the banks of the river.
The final photo was in Fremantle where there was a street festival on during the day and into the evening. This was the crowds all watching a band, the atmosphere was great.

Killerby Winery - (On Route to Busselton)



We only managed one winery stop, and I think that was even more of a toilet stop than anything else!, (well seen Janette or I were not navigating!!!) it was a lovely setting and at least Liam found a friend!

Somerly - 2nd Nov 2007





These are pictures of the Somerly area. The first one is looking up what is best described as the main street towards the station at the top. They are planing to have cafes and shops in this area and smaller apartment type accomdation. The park has exercise machines along its length, you use your own weight at resistence. We were laughing thinking that at walk to the station or the pub will never be the same again!!!! The last one is one of the many parks in the area.
