Jun 25, 2009 - Doing time at Fremantle Prison

We were booked on the 10am Rottnest Oceanic cruise today, but it wasn't to be! A very nice person phoned at approx 8am to say that the weather was not going to be good today, even though it wasn't going to rain - they were expecting 20 knot winds and 6 metre swells for the return trip in the afternoon, so the cruise was cancelled. As we are going to leave Perth on Saturday, we have decided to put our Rottnest Island trip, on our 'to do list' for next visit. ... With plans changing, we brought forward our Fremantle visit by a day.We were booked on the 10am Rottnest Oceanic cruise today, but it wasn't to be!
