T - 15 days till Dougie hits the road again and continues his trek around Australia, thus ending my 5 month stint in Fremantle. Fremantle, home of once AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott. Fremantle, final resting place of Heath Ledger. Fremantle, location of the America's Cup in 1987, the first place the race was held outside the US after holding the cup for 136 years. And now Fremantle, place where Doug Jeffery served his first Big Mac and earned his first Aussie Dollar.
In two weeks time, I am going to catch a ride North with a group of friends I met down here, leaving Fremantle behind for good. The stop in Freo has been great; I have had the chance to meet a lot of Australians that I wouldnt have been able to on the road. And it was nice to unpack my bag and let my undies air out. But also, after rolling into Perth on nothing by fumes, it helped me raise the financing to continue the rest of the trip. So that I will be able to afford my whale shark snorkeling up North, scuba diving in Townsville, and all those body shots in Byron Bay.
I still have a few things to do in Freo before I leave. 1) Go see an AFL game. 2) Go see Wave Rock (Its a rock that looks like a Wave). And thats about it. . . . so Im ready to get rolling.
