Our first destination on Day 4 was Fremantle. On our way to Fremantle, we dropped by at Cottesloe Beach which is about 15 minutes west of Perth. The beach is one of Perth's main attraction and as it is overlooking the Indian Ocean, it also one of the best spot to watch the sunset. Even though cloudy, the wave that day was not that strong. There were some people swimming and some kids playing with the sand. It was peaceful.
The journey to Fremantle through the coastal road took another 15 minutes. We straight away went to Fremantle Prison. It is WA's most significant historical attraction. The prison was built by the convicts themselves sent by British government in the early 1850s and was used as a prison until 1991. In 1992 it was reopened for tourists. Visitors can join a 1.5 hours guided tour but since the time was quite limited, we didn't. After visiting its gallery and souvenir shop, we hopped on to Cicerello Fish Market for lunch.
After a good heavy lunch, we continued for an hour long journey to Mandurah.
We arrived just in time to catch the 1 o'clock dolphin cruise. We managed to see a couple of dolphins who glided together by the side of the boat. The cruise also took us to see luxury houses (or mansions) by the canal. Most of the houses are millions and all of them have their own luxury boats.
