 after 2 hours, all the swimmers had departed |
 The first on land were a duo (aged 17 & 19) who completed the swim in 4hrs 4mins. This was the second year in a row they had won. Conditions were described as 'poor' with a sizeable swell in the channel. The race was cancelled last year due to a similar swell. |
 Saturday night saw us back up at Joondalup at Robbie and Ray’s (we met them last year) for a BBQ to celebrate Robbie’s 40th birthday and their new BBQ/ alfresco kitchen. |
 |
 |
 The new BBQ/ alfresco kitchen was amazing and Laurie dribbled into it most of the evening.
|
 He is now planning and plotting how he can have one at home!!!! I can feel a project coming on. |

Monday 18 February we have a wander around some of the old heritage buildings in Freo |
 The Fremantle History Museum is one of Fremantle's most significant landmarks. Built by the convicts in the early 1860's to house the 'insane' it was known as the asylum.
|
 The Museum now showcases the social history and heritage of Fremantle and Western Australia. |

 St Patrick's Basilica* has been a cultural and spiritual hub for many Irish, Italian and Portuguese migrants for 105 years. It was built in 1900 and designed by renowned architect Michael Cavanagh. |
 The basilica is also internationally recognised for its music, being home to two of Australia's finest organs. *A basilica is a church ordained by the Pope to be of special significance. |
