my Perth trip is for abt 1 week. from 22 Nov to 29 Nov. before i board the plane at Brisbane, someone called me and tot tat i was in Perth already. he wanna meet up with me... whahhaa... tat is none other than Mr Chen Chien Yuan la... well, he muz be studying for exam until forget when was my arrival date. anyway, upon arrival into Perth on 22 Nov nite, is already passed 12midnite. checked into YHA Perth City, i quickly went to bed so that i can wake up early to proceed on to Fremantle to spend a few days there.
Day 2 - Fremantle
after checking into YHA Fremantle, i went around the area. went to Fremantle market. quite a big one but of cos as compared, Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne is still bigger and the outdoor Salamanbca Market in Tasmania is much bigger too. but tis is good enough as there r so many things to see and buy. whahaha...
Fremantle Market on a Friday. is a weekend market so is only open from fri to sun. large variety of items...
along the street...
market outside the town hall.. 
i like Fremantle for its surrounding and buildings. the very old english style and feel...
E-shed Markets.. another weekend market...
not as big as Fremantle Market and it has the indoor shopping centre feel.. a bit like Spore's Bugis street shopping..
Fremantle Port... busy port that handles all the import and export of Western Australia..
my 1st dinner in Perth!! Salmon Pasta... woooo...
Italian Sausages.. a bit salty ah...
Town Hall @ night...Day 3 - Fremantle City Tour (on foot on my own...)
Fremantle Railway Station.. where i got off the train after spending abt 20mins taking the train from Perth City...
see the black cat sign? the best part of the transportation system in Perth which i like very much. CAT means central area transit. both in Fremantle and Perth city, there r such services. it is a FREE service!! from area to area, instead of walking or take public transport, CAT is a very very accessible way to get around the city. for budget travellers like me, such FREE service is the best! whahaha...
Fremantle Chocolate Factory.. where i bought abt $55 worth of chocolates. whahaha...
Fremantle Prison...
the prison ground..
the recreational area... 
some prisoners attempted suicide by jumping down from the top level. so the net act as safety net to prevent anyone from jumping down... 
the kitchen...
shattered glass bottles and pieces of glass placed on top of the wall surrounding the prison ground. these glasses are used to prevent any prisoners from escaping by climbing out...
level by level... cell by cell...
a bed and a bucket.. how the interior of the cell looks like... the bucket is for the prisoners to use as toilet. can u imagine how disgusting it will be when the bucket is FULL? such poor sanitation is the main reason y the prison is closed down...
a drawing found in one of the cell... lovely art piece... 
punishment area... the prisoner will be hanged upside down and kanna whipped on the backside. whipped until the flesh can be seen and salt will be rubbed on the wound. cruel as it sound.. i cannot imagine the actual scene ah..
the execution area.. no electric chair... is the very simple way of hanging..
lunch = German Sausage and Bread. heehee... yummy..
basking is very common in Perth... juz as i went around, saw this couple performing some act to raise money for their overseas performance tour... entertaining...
fort facing the ocean...
Ice Chocolate @ relaxing Fishing Boat Harbour... chill~
the Skating Festivals... kids gathered along the street for the skating competition... nice...End of 2 days around Fremantle City.. Day 4 will be an exciting one.. cos is my cycling tour around Rottnest Island, offshore island, abt 30mins ferry ride away from Fremantle...
