Feb 25 & 26 Perth/Fremantle
We got to Fremantle on Monday in the early evening. We walked to the town square. They had a statue of a man who was making a
sculpture of himself. I took tons of
self portraits with him. There was also
a cool clock tower. In the trees there
were wild parrots. They were squawking
and hanging upside down in the tree.

On Tuesday we went to Perth on the train. We visited the Perth Mint. We took a tour and saw lots of gold. They even showed it being poured. The same gold has been melted and repoured
for 26 years. The biggest 26 nuggets of
gold ever found come from Australia, 3 from Victoria and the other 23 from
Western Australia- where we were. We got
to see the 2nd biggest gold nugget still around today. The other ones were melted down.

I got to weigh myself to see how much I weighed in
gold. I am worth over $1million. I think I want to eat more ice cream before I
turn myself into gold. I bought a coin
that they drew a map of Australia, a koala, a kangaroo and a cruise ship
on. I wrote my name and World Cruise
2013 on it.

When we got back to Fremantle we went to a didgeridoo
shop. They showed me how to play
one. I caught on quick. Mom let me buy one.
All in all I like Australia.
Next stop Indonesia.
