The next day I enjoyed the cold Jacuzzi at the hotel pool, which was really nice in the hot and humid weather.  Then we found a Laundromat in Darwin, which was a challenge, since the one we were sent to was closed and the other one was a bit out of town.  We did laundry in Darwin because there was nothing else to do but still kicked ourselves when we arrived in Perth and the apartment we were staying in had a washer.

The following day we went sightseeing in Perth.  It was a very pretty city, nicer than I thought it would be so I was very impressed with it.  We visited the Bell Tower, Fremantle, and went swimming in the sea.  In the evening we came across a photography exhibition in the park, “Earth from Above,” which was neat and interesting.
