Its hot and muggy, been doing heaps over the past few months, but unfortunately my Sony Ericsson T650 died so i didn’t take any photos. Perth still feels really new to me and i am still coming to terms with the fact that I’d left NZ and all my cars. I still feel quite foreign here and deep down, I still call NZ home.
Reality is, its time to move on, so i am trying really hard to make Perth my new home. I think I am still too new here to really appreciate Perth. I miss my Kiwi friends and the down to earth ways we get about doing our own things.
Times like this I would go for a drive and try to walk off my homesickness…
I drove for a while and ended up at Fremantle Wharf where the museum is. It was past 5pm, so the museum was close. Behind the museum, I noticed a big, matte black, gear knob shaped structure and decided to check it out.
It turns out that its the nose of a submarine that is usually part of the museum tour.
The submarine was pretty impressive. I am sure it is mentioned in some tourist brochure somewhere, but I prefer to stumble upon things this way, i think it keeps life interesting.
Further down the wharf, there was an old school sail boat called Leuwin.. something like that.
It was just docked there when i was there but from the looks of things, I think it takes visitors out on a cruise quite often.
I’d decided to take the long way home and drove through Kings park, Perth indeed is beautiful,.. maybe one day I can call Perth home
