Our Australian friends

Anyone in Perth? My aircraft carrier will be coming around your area sometime next month (dates not for public knowledge yet). I would like to know more about the area, like where we would pier up at and all. I think its Fremantle. WIll be looking for a pretty nice beach front hotel for a bunch of friends, but again dont know the area THAT well if there are hotels on the water and what the water is like on that side of the island.

I can check this every day or so, our internet isnt the best and takes a bit to load, so just know why Im not responding back quickly.

Thanks!

sorry poolboy, i'm in adelaide... but got a couple of links for you...

http://www.esplanadehotelfremantle.com.au/ i think this pub (hotel) is on the beach, but i have no idea how far from the port it is.

i reckon the water is pretty wet that side of the "island", just like it is all around the "island"... watch out for sharks if you plan on swimming...

what I meant by the water was choppy/ sea state for April and temperature wise for April. smooth sand beaches vs rocky beaches.

Thanks for the links!

cant tell you about the sea over there, but considering it's autumn (fall), it might be a tad choppy.

found a temperature link for ya, but its air temp not sea temp... http://www.weatherzone.com.au/climate/s ... te&lc=9017 i'm sure you can translate from celcius to farenheit...

is there enough time for me to snail-mail you some touristy-type stuff before you get to freo (pronounced free-oh)?

[Poolzer]

nah, the mail would go to the states 1st, then to Bahrain then to the ship. Have found some good sites and hotels to look at for info, your links helped a lot thanks

looks like Rottnest Island will be pretty cool place to relax and enjoy a few days off the boat.
