Rare MicCanberra Posted May 2, 2019 #17 Β Share Posted May 2, 2019 As far as drink package promotions go, they come around every now and then, best to keep an eye out on the RCI forums and here but to also check occasionally yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted May 2, 2019 #22 Β Share Posted May 2, 2019 Definitely, at least it is close to Public transport and walking distance to the Freo attractions/ tourist sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejay4016 Posted May 4, 2019 #23 Β Share Posted May 4, 2019 My suggestion would be to get on a ferry up to Perth - a lovely ride along the Swan River, and you end up right in the middle of the city. The middle of Fremantle has been undergoing major works for the last couple of years and is a total mess. Yes, the Maritime Museum, along the dock from where the cruise ships tie up, is worth a visit, but that's just about it. I think that they have recently even closed The Round House because of safety issues. And then there are the drunks ... Β Having said that, for great Italian food you can't beat some of the little restaurants and cafes along 'The Strip', and there are some really interesting shops along High Street, particularly a couple selling wonderful Aboriginal art.
