The last days of Perth

It has been a while. My schedule was packed. After the dive, I was spending my time solving my personal issue - rather trying to solve. I manage to see my son, Ruban. He recognized me and we got along instantaneously despite not having seen him for so long. He reminds me of myself when I was his age maybe, I was a little smaller but I was definitely timid. He took his mom’s characteristics in his talk. He was talking so much and so well. I miss him so much but I have somehow found a way to mask it well, I suppose.

Well, I was happy to see him. However, the issues to settle could never be settled over a 3 day period but it cooled down many other issues too. Maybe one day, when I am ready I shall blog about that.

Perth, is a quiet town. The main city is bustling with activities but remains a city as usual.

Fremantle is even more quiet but I like it better than Perth. I managed to visit the Fremantle Prison and I personally recommend it for any visitors to Perth. The guide is good and clear and is able to make it very interesting and informative at the same time.

This was done by one of the inmates and he had the 6th commandment modified.


There were a few notable inmates who were excellent artist as of this where he painted his cell wall.


The solitary confinement cell and its door!


The hanging room and the famous noose


The roll of honour.

With this, I end my Perth trip. I had three aims before coming and I must say that I manage to do them all almost all. I am satisfied.

Will I go there - for a visit - yes!
- for a dive at Rottnest island - nope!
- to settle down - not now and only if I am forced too. It is a nice place to retire.

Thanks for reading!
