Fremantle -  (Visited Rockingham) - Another sunny warm day - Temps in mid 20's

Spent the morning catching up on chores & paperwork (bills still have to be paid).  We then headed south to have a look at Rockingham.  Rockingham is home to a Naval Base and ship-building is an important industry there.  We saw a large boat being built for Customs.  It is also a big export port for grain etc with large loading facilities.

The beach is lovely and there are some beautiful views from the cliffs to Penguin Island.

The area is also benefiting from the mining boom with new estates filled with huge luxury homes - road after road of them!
