and the Americas Cup story. The real maritime highlight was the partial remains of the Batavia. This is possibly Australia's most gruesome tale in the early discovery of the west coast of Australia.

We also visited the Round House, Western Australia's earliest building and Town Hall and old colonial churches and public buildings.
We were at the Round House for the 1PM time signal with the firing of this cannon and the dropping of the time ball. It was very loud!

The most enjoyable part of the day was when we stopped at the Cappuccino stop with one of the best eat streets in Australia along with great people and car watching

There was an interesting episode of Time Walks on Freo recently, pretty sure you hit the same highlights Tony Robinson did.
He is such a copy cat!
