Hanson and I got up early and went out into Fremantle as neither of us had seen much of it in daytime.
Lots of interesting Victorian buildings with their downstairs converted into little shops etc.

Back to the ship by 8 a.m. for breakfast and then the sailaway with free mimosas & bloody Marys on the aft deck, the band playing Aussie tunes.
Sail Away from Fremantle
I skipped Tai Chi class to say goodbye to Australia and found I had tears in my eyes. What a great nation and friend to the USA. A friendly place where “g-day mate” automatically gives one a feeling of warmth and familiarity, and where the response to “thank you” is “no worries,” a constant reminder to relax and be at peace.. I wish we’d had more time to really get to see and know the country and people we will probably never see again.
