Singapore
The net result of this (after many hours of standing around waiting for news) was that our 1am flight was put back 'til 10am - Singapore airlines put is in a hotel in perth for the night, but by the time they'd decided to do this, we had a grand total of about 3 hours in the hotel. This of course meant that we missed our connecting flight to Heathrow at Singapore.
The Airline managed to get us booked into the equivalent flight the next day - which means that we're basically running 24 hours behind schedule. We've just checked in and will be boarding our next flight in a couple of hours.

Mandurah
We took a boat ride on which, as it turned out, we were the only passengers!
This house is for sale. The skipper of the boat says it's going for $11m.
The sign says it has an indoor pool and 4 bathrooms.
One of the benefits of a cloudy day is that it makes for
great sunsets. Here you go, Dad.
We're driving right down south to Maragret River and Pemberton for a couple of nights tomorrow. No idea what the internet access will be like down there so you may have to wait a few days for the photos of giant trees, caves and, hopefully, more sunsets!

The Pinnacle of our Holiday

Island Fever
Kaz and her little Yatch.
This one's especially for Chris.
Lookin' good, Dazza.
Kaz and her bike.
Darren's taller than the lighthouse!
A scenic shot. Not very arty. Sorry, Dad.
A bay. One of 67 separate beaches around the island.
When we got back to the mainland, we came across this sign. It made us think of of Lands End, but we were able to put that behind us and continue with our holiday!

Wombats and Sunsets

Doing Time
Kaz loiters outside a historic looking building.
(Yes, I know what it looks like...)
Now a tourist attraction. Er... and a windbreak according to a notice inside.
Fremantle's Town Hall.
Kaz doing time in Fremantle Prison. She's smiling now,
but she hasn't seen the state of the communal showers yet...
Dazza revelling in his freedom outside the prison!
An attempt at capturing the colours of the sunset!
